signed Pete Venter Magic Print * euro gencon '94 *

[sunset_empress]

I hope it is ok for me to post here.

I have a limited [at least, as far as I am aware] edition print signed by Pete Vetner - he gave it to me at Euro GenCon in 1994.

It features a few of the characters from the early cards and the artwork is amazing. The colours are incredibly vivid and the print unframed and is in mint condition.

Anyway - down to the questions:

Does anyone know anything about the piece?

Is this print desirable? If so - any ideas how much I could expect for it when I sell it.

I want to put it up for sale but I don't even know if anyone would be interested - and to be honest I wouldn't want to let it go for only a couple of pounds - so I thought I'd ask here.

I did try searching for any more info on it - but drew a blank.

If you want to have a look - here is a link to a photo I took - photo shopped simply to higlight the signature.

The photo quality isn't fantastic and certainly doesn't do the piece justice - the flash has affected it badly and I only saved as a low quality jpeg - but it should give you an idea.

Any comments suggestions questions etc welcome :D

The artwork has been used as cover for the first - and only - Magic binder produced by WotC.

Honestly, my opinion is that this is a nice item, and I might not mind owning it, however, the writing on it takes away from the desire of owning it.
If it was unblemished (no sig or whatnot), then it would be worth more.  But with the signature, it kinda draws attention away from the artwork, which causes it to lose its appeal.

I agree that looks like a great print.  I think that if you were to matte and frame the print then the signature would be covered, as the signature is only on the lower white portion of the print.

indeed, sweet poster.  I like the signiture.  It adds realness to it.

It was used in advertisments in duelist and inquest, for I believe, forth edition or revised. I'll see if I can find some old issues with it in it, and scan it for ya.
