New Power 9 proxies
I do not know how many people may have seen this already (I do not remember it discussed on the Library previously), but it appears one vendor is ready to start mass producing Power 9 proxies (as well as some foils).
Personally, to me, I find these cards kind of ugly (and I never really cared for their token cards either) - but it also appears to me, that the way they are doing these cards, that they are not breaking any kind of copyrights.
The art on the cards are not too bad, just the design of the cards I find to be less than desireable.

Well, there are only 5,000 of each, & for a buck that ain't so bad...
If I was a beginner, DREAMING of the day I owned a P9 card, I'd feel great. But, I've moved on to getting MISPRINTED/ ALTERNATE (like my playtest copies) versions of each P9. So, I'll hold off.
But really.... a dollar? There are enough poor MTG players out there to sell these cards quickly. I'd imagine they'll be 5-10 dollars each once they are all sold out.

I agree with silver.paladin that these token P9 have followed the ugliness of Gaming Etc's tokens. Hence a big fat resounding no I will not buy these.
The art is mediocre, the layout is a twisted bad version of the new 8ed layout.
I also agree with fvzappa that players who cannot buy P9 will buy these for a buck to proxy out their decks.
Here is the big question. Will these be legal in Vintage? I had always heard the proxies were alllowed but only by modifying a real M:TG card. I don't cae to look up any recent rules revision on this but am this wrong?

Well first, they're not allowed in sanctioned tournaments. Recent high-profile unsanctioned 5- and 10-proxy tournaments have allowed proxies only with marker on basic land, and that's not going to change because their reasons for doing so are very strong.mintcollector wrote:Here is the big question.

I don't see the point in paying money for something like this. If I'm going to make a proxy, I'm going to take a Sharpie to a land. If I can play a card that's essentially free, why would I spend money to get something that has no advantage other than possibly looking slightly better.

Power 9 Proxies
I highly recommend the purchase of this product- the sheer novelty is well worth it. If you get the foils you will be truly amazed. I have been in the game for a long time and have virtually eschewed all non-WOTC magic-related products(tokens, etc) but took a gamble with these.
I can confidently state that the gamble paid off in the quality of the product I received.
I think that the built-in rarity factor on these will be a driver of value and think the non-foil sets will be valued in the 120-150 range per set and the foils will be in the 400-500 range per set within a few years.
From an aesthetic point of view, I can really play Type 0 now!
Peace,

As a Collector,I bought them more like the First of their kind,than thinking that some Money could be made out of them.Since 2 Members are really happy with their purchases,I can't wait to get my Foil Set :D
