Yeah, I saw them, but they're all cut up really badly, so I passed on it. Seller said they came from Carta Mundi via an employee.

That's what you get when you mess around with private label playing cards. What an interesting poker deck that would have made.

I think its realy amaizing that knowbody makes offers for these cards.

The foil test prints are worth a billion and there are a couple of hundred.
of these there for now appeared only 10!!!!!!!

I sometimes realy don't understand members.
But well guess I'll have to keep them in that case.

These are cut up all funny. Also, frankly, you can't play these.

They are almost certainly from one of the start-up scrap sheets. You can see my description of how these were made from another thread:

http://www.magiclibrarities.net/forum/v ... php?t=6070

It looks like these cards were cut by hand with a pair of scissors. The claim that they were from a Carta Mundi employee is extremely likely, given that these would never leave the facility in a normal package or deck.

As far as value is concerned, with misprints and oddities it is completely in the eye of the beholder. Why is it that Harry Potter backed cards go for well over $100 each, and my Pokemon backed cards (2 complete decks worth) are valued less? It might be that Harry Potter is in and Pokemon is out. or it might be the fervor of Harry Potter fans. Or it might be the cards that were in the respective decks, or any number of other variables.

For unique or almost unique items, if someone really wants something they will find a way to get it, at whatever price it takes. If not, the value is anyone's guess.

i think if you think about it for more then one millisecond you could find out yourself

Well, it could be the same, but that's not always the same here, there are hundreds of members here. Not all of them are the same. See Tim for instance, Mark, myself...

Couldn't I pay with a bank transfer ? It says Paypal only.

Hi Richard, just a small suggestion on my part: do add the Amstel back in the gallery picture that appears during search on Ebay! I'm sure many potential bidders will miss this the way it's displayed right now.

Pickle, would you describe the front's printing quality as matching a Mirage JAP Disenchant exactly? If that's the case I might be interested after all.
