To be precised, this will be the third one being cut, meaning 30 Textless Urza Saga NFC are in the wild now...Glad, I never collect those. Regarding Misprinted boosters, I have a small collection of 10 or so, the last thing that I will do is opening them, especially for regular cards, I even own a 15 Rares booster from Guildpact.

Sadly, this indicates the large gap that there is between the average player/collector or more simply the greedy guy who wants to earn money quickly, and the majority of members on this forum. Maybe not so numerous, about a niche hobby. No elitism there. It is just another state of mind. I guess that few MTG enthousiasts like us are trying to keep memorabilia safe, mostly for our own pleasure of course, but also for historical purposes. Unfortunatly, most of people into this hobby don't really care about these concerns. Maybe the main idea to retain is : you own, you act as you wish !

This reminds me of the square-cornered textless Urza's Saga cards in the rarities section,"source unknown". Are they confirmed not to be nfc?

I don't have the answer either for those or the Foil Textless Urza's Destiny cards, I just know where they came from, one old member should probably have the answer, but the False Prophet Textless never made it out on the secondary market, either in boosters or else. That might be a possibility nowadays as a German Urza's Destiny Common/Rare Uncut Sheet was sold not so long ago.

Mark;

This was done, probably, at CM. The way the "sorting" was set up when I was there was a set of shoots for common and Uncommons that the cards came down to the wrapper these cards were coming in different paths with the rare cards being in a separate hopper. If your speculation is right about the "grab a few to make the sample"--which has merit. In all likelyhood the cards would have been grabbed out of one of the common/uncommon shoots and not out of the rare hopper

Just an observation and speculation.... Let m know what is in one if you open it.

I will see if I can lay my hands on both boosters, no idea where they are, I assume in a box somewhere in the wardrobe... I hope...
