Very strange misprint.

Post by AXIOS » Wed May 26, 2004 3:00 am

i have never seen such a misprint before.
i did see the double printed FE cards before, but never one as clear as this one.

Is that just really DARK? The picture is small, I assume that is all that is wrong. I can't tell exactly.

If this is the case, I own several, mostly from Mirage & Visions. I also own some that are misaligned so the print is all blurry. They give me a headache.

But info? It does not look like the double printed, just dark. What other details can you tell about it?

I have a raise dead from 4th edition that is extremely dark.

I'll post a scan sometime with a normal raise dead for comparison.

no, look at the top card, it clearly has 2 cards printed on it.  I would like to see a better scan though.  Looks mighty cool.

and both right-side up!

It's a combat medic printed on the implements, looks really spiffy... Would be very hard to fake too, so I think it's authentic. Means there are hymns out there looking like that *chuckles*
Fallen Empires split cards, anyone?

Oh, okay, I own a spore cloud/ dwarven something-or-other card like that. In person, mine is the only one I've seen. One of the other dealers posted on here about his too, I forget what one though, it is an older topic. He had a link w/ a scan.

From what I understand, a few- or less- sheets were run twice, I'd imagine though that not many exist. Your card, as well as mine, may be the only ones of that card if there is only one sheet.

My auction! Stay away!  ;D

I asked the seller the day the auction went up for a better picture (also asked him why he's offering it as a "bonus" in a $2 pile of Chronicles cards ??? He has another one up now singly after I mentioned that it was worth more than the rest of the pile.

There was a Mercadian Masques one on Ebay about 4 months ago. I bid $110 and figured that should be a ridiculous number and safe from snipers, and I went to go draft. I didn't win.

I'm having trouble attaching the picture here. He sent it pasted into a Word document. Can anybody tell me how to do this? Email me at gzeiger@hotmail.com.

upload the picture to a free image server.

then reply on this topic with the codes:

[    img   ]  .....  [   /  img   ]

on the dots you have to put in the link from the free image server.
and off course: remove the spaces between the html code ;)

It WILL be my auction after I win it  ;)

That was fairly helpful, but the webhosting site you linked to will only accept certain types of image files. What he sent me was a picture pasted into a Word document. How do I convert it? I know this must be a stupid question, but you'll have to answer it if you want to see the picture...

Try this: Click on the picture in the Word document to choose it (corner and side handles should appear), then do Ctrl-C to copy it to the clipboard. Open your favorite graphics program and do a Ctrl-V to paste it as a new image, then save that in the format you want (BMP or JPEG). You may be able to get better resolution by enlarging it in the original Word document first by Right-Clicking it and choosing Format Picture -- Size. Give it a try.

gzeiger: the last time I had a picture in a Word doc, I copied the image then pasted it in Photoshop.  There's probably an easier way of doing this, but I haven't found it.

edit: apologies, didn't refresh the page and see victorcamp's reply before I posted.
