Curious Card Box given away with R2R Booster Box Purchase

Post by Alien_Starfighter_Pilot » Sat Dec 15, 2012 5:42 am

I asked for the Buy a Box promo when I bought a R2R booster box the other day. I was told they didn't have any more of the promos, but was given this instead:

the box will hold approximately 500-600 cards. the side has the MTG logo and "Amenity Dream" with a white box below it. I imagine it's to write whatever you want in the box, as that was my first thought. I can provide a picture of the side of the box if asked.

Anyone have an idea what "Amenity Dream" is about?

Clay; I think this is one of the licensed products made by distributors or whoever gets the license. Hobby Japan produced a lot of stuff under license.

In Korea the distributor didn't spring for a license so you will notice there is no Magic logo or any of the copywrited material on the box but it was sold through the distributor's stores. This was in '98

The bottom is what is interesting. It is all the info on prizes for a world championshiop in Seattle and that the company is sponsoring their air fair to the event.

Also a list of the different events in the Pro Tour, where and prize value.

All Magic info, just no license....

NOTE: I could find no Koreans in the '98 standings.

NOTE NOTE: I did find: #175 Wollpert, Worth but I don't think he is Korean.

I've been going to that store for about a year, and I just realized I'd never even learned what the store's name is.

Note to self: learn how to read Japanese while you are learning to speak it!
