I would also be interested in any one of those cards. That's far more spectacular than I was expecting. PM me with a want list of some sort please.

These are very different than what I expected them to look like.  I am interested in any one of them.  Let me know what you want in exchange.

Some times ago, a guy offered on this site a bunch of misprint. There was a School of the unseen from Alliances, which look exactly like these ones, but in the face, not the back.

Complete miscolored cards (i.e. missing one or several color components) are indeed pretty rare, only a few printing sheets from time to time.

So far, I had only seen miscoloration on the front of cards (albino-cards or cards missing blue). These ones are interesting :)

Regards,
Eric.
I have to agree because after I made some questions to other people it seems that they are not so common afterall. Storeowner of biggest Finnish cardshop haven't even heard of those and he has been in business pretty long time :)

I suppose that these were distributed in one small nearby city only. And because of it's size people who are from there remember these easily. Other my playgroup fellows doesn't have any memories of these (And I live only 10 miles from that city where these are originated)

They are a bit odd. I own 3 basic land from Tempest that look like those. In person, they are the only ones I've ever seen. I like them....

I also have a pink backed card, nearly all black backed card (both Tempest), as well as a vibrant orange Candelabra of Townos, all the colors on the back are screwey.

If you still have one of these Homelands cards I'm interested.

fvzappa: could you possibly put up a scan of the front / back of the candelabra? It is one of my favorite cards... even if you do not trade it, I would love to see it  ;D thanks!

They are all pending now :( But I'll get back to you if I manage to arrange one for you.

This is what the back of my Candelabra of Townos looks like: http://img43.photobucket.com/albums/v13 ... elabra.jpg
I think you may enjoy seeing it. The quality of the scan makes it appear fake or homemade, but I assure you it isn't.

That Candelabra is the only one I've seen, and most who have seen all of my misprints like it the best.

Again, the print matrix or appearance of all the dots is due to the quality of the scan. And if anyone else owns a card like this, esp. a Antiquities card, I'd love to know.

I am by no means the original owner of the card, hopefully you aren't thinking of the exact same card. I figure you'd remember if it was a Candelabra, though.

From whom I purchased it from he got it off of ebay from someone overseas. Apparently Dan Bock has seen it & tried desperatly to get it from him, but thankfully didn't.

Anyhow, I hope to see another one at some point. Or better yet, I hope there are no others.

Hi Keith.
At the time,I have a look at that Back,I was really not into Misprint,and like any other Misprint,I just recall the Misprint itself much more than the card itself.Now,that you mentioned Dan,I definately remember the auction on Ebay from long time ago,that confirmed the case,that's in fact it's the Same card and therefore a Unique one,for the moment ;) :)
