People are selling sets on Yahoo now, so its probably not terribly scarce. There is a smaller-size penny sleeve that fits an MTG card really tightly, might work well with one of the life counters. Or maybe the sleeves made for yugioh-sized cards. Neither of these sleeves will work we have already d...

I would agree with Alexis. Why bother to protect a card if the whole card is not protected? I still think the wintage sleeves I found would be better.

Ralph: Thanks for the new token sizes. Alexis: Mistake on my part. Yu-Gi_oh sleeves are smaller than M:TG ones. Armed with the proper size, I sought out sleeves that may work. Ultra Pro carries a line of clear sleeves for vintage cards, ie sports cards from the 60s and 70s. Here is a link: http://ww...

Alexis: Email whomever you are buying from. Ask specifically if they carry the sleeves bigger than the 'normal' ones used for M:TG. I know these do exist for sure, I am just sure of the exact game they are used for, or what colors may be available for them.

From the first eBay auction: This is the extremely rare Fruitcake Elemental. I received this card for being a delegate for Wizards of the Coast AND fulfilling additional requirements to be eligible to receive this card. I believe there is roughly 100 active Delegates and out of those only a handful ...

Alexis: I know other games have cards bigger than M:TG. I believe Yugi-oh might be the game. Sleeve manufacturers are making sleeves for the bigger cards. Don't quote me on what the game is exactly, I just know they do exist. Not saying these new cards will fit into the sleeves, but it might be wort...

me-and_we: Not sure if this is US-only. The only info we have it that some delegate from the Washington area has one and provided the scan. Since volunteerism for game demo is done at the marketing level, it is really a toss up if this is US-only or worldwide. My assumptions were on the fact that it...

Hopefully wont be too expensive. I think this might be a little pricey. If I had to take a stab at a number, I think there are probably only a few hundred of these made. This is just a guesstimate on how many delgates WOTC has. I am sure a large number of those delegates play M:TG personally, and t...

Well this news is freash off the presses, and the deligate that got one might have either been handed one direclty, or since he is in Washington, could have gotten same day mail. Recall it may take up to 4 days for mail to hit the east coast. Texas may be 2-3 days. Also don't forget the Xmas mail cr...

Ralph: A deligate, at least in my opinion, would be the people who work closely with the company at events, cons, etc, but are not officially on the WOTC payroll as a normal job. I know of other companies that do this style of "volunteerism" as I know of people who do this kind of unpaid work for th...

Hmm...interesting. Here is a link to the card pic: http://forums.mtgsalvation.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=37432&stc=1&d=1166009493 The card shows HH 2006, which would be "Happy Holidays 2006". The card appears to be foil silver bordered. So this means the card is not tourney legal. I checked Dar...

Both the art corruption and miscredit are mentioned in there.
