backing cards

[mystical_tutor]

I have one that is the same as the one on the lower left but without the SD83331. I was wondering where these came from. I got mine as a packing card when I got some cards shipped from a dealer in Russia.

That is how I got a couple of mine (well, not from Russia.. ). Some dealers care enough about what they send you that they try to protect what you ordered. So it has no copyright date on it and it says Made in the USA? If you don't treasure it I'd like to get it from you.

PM me your address and you can have it.

Done! and a ton of thanks.

Got the cards yesterday and it is in the binder now. I also put a note with it that you actually got it from Russia.

I know it is a small thing but I want to give you a big thanks.

And, by the way, when they display my collection in the Louvre I will make sure you have credit for this addition.

I noticed that the most recent one I found has a big EN in the upper corner. I assume this has some meaning or usefulness.

Do any of you have these with other language abbreviations on them? My assumption is that it indicates the language of the promo cards in the packet.

And, of course, any such would be gladly accepted for the collection.

Thanks to i_set_fire I now have, I think, a complete set--until an new one comes out.

Photo at the beginning of the thread has been updated

In trying to establish a time line I have the following information. It looks like some backing changes are solid: Hellspark Elemental/Marisi's Twinclaws for Gateway. One can assume FNM will change at the end of the year but I'd like to know for sure if any of you have the Dec/Jan packets. It looks like only Gateway and FNM will have the starting/ending backings as the other promo events don't overlap the end of the year.
