Cool stuff, grats!

I wish I had the t-shirts ;-) I remember the Coldsnap jacket; made it a price once at an Ice Age Sealed event (Ice Age Starter Deck plus Alliances and Coldsnap booster packs)
I collect land cards, just that.

Nice haul there.

When I played Magic the sexiest card was probably "Elves of Deep Shadow" or possibly "Earthbind" if you were of that persuasion. It was almost as if the Magic development team decided to stay away from the" generic female warrior in skimpy armour" theme and concentrate on encouraging female players.

Things started to slip a bit with Elvish Ranger and now it looks like the entire creative team have been taken over by 14 year old male adolescents. Don't get me wrong, I think it is very important to protect your breasts when going into battle. For all I know, angels keep all their vital organs in their breasts and they can be gutted without any ill effects so there is no need for armour across the midrift.

However I prefer to keep my pron and my magic separate, though I do have a new appreciation for playing white.

Haha, ya, I agree with you there. I didn't acquire them because of the art, just got them because they were cool items that you don't see very often, but it seems that any promotional item used for a set from the last, oh i dunno, 10 blocks, is plastered with breastesses.

On another note, more cool items:

I'll keep that in mind. In the meantime, if you need scans of any of them, let me know.

Of course, I will need scans, but right now, I don't have time for more updates, and scanning Life Counters, is a real pain in the ass #-o

Hi Mark

Very impressive collection, whenever you have time , do you mind writing the languages of everything from those sealed, as I saw some I don't own, and others that I do have, but not shown here. So, in this way, I can update my want list on Sealed Starters, etc...Products.

I've included descriptions above each picture. I'm also going to start a new thread for the foreign sealed products I have, indicating the country of manufacture.
