so this is one agreed, who is selling these at 60US - can you let me have the web address? - only ask as i've never seen these for sale anywhere - at least not ones with 2 cards superimposed one on top of another - i too have examples of where a card sheet has been through the same press twice producing a slight offsetting of the same card, but these are entirely different.
you act like you don't believe us, that the double imposed cards you have are the only one on the world.

There are more like those on this planet.

These sort of cards have known to appear all the way up to mercadian masques

Hi Cardguy.
The card that is offered with that type of Misprint is from Mercadian Masques as there's no Scan,I will ask the Seller about it.Also,regarding through  Private Collections of Misprints on the web,you will see a bunch of those.If any Members,and I know 4 of them,are willing to put scans of theirs,I'm sure Cardguy will appreciate  ;)

No, Axios I DO believe you - in fact i had seen this one on ebay before and mentioned it in my first posting to this thread - but this was front and back - i was more interested about ones similar to the ones i have.

Remember i'm not saying or even implying these are unique at this time i'm just trying to find out the actual population in the wild so to speak.... (thus not sure why the apparent hostility!)  - don't shoot the messenger!

please would like to see more examples/scans!

Thanks

oh no i believe! - i'd love to see some of the collections you guys have, i'm guessing theres a lot of odd stuff out about - i used to think i had some good stuff but now not so sure

highlight of my collection was a near full set of summer (i was 20 rare short of the whole set) - was never rich enough to justify keeping it tho so i sold it... ho humm

I got my double printed @ $10 a while back, someone had it for a while & after showing it off he was tired of having it. Anything odd or old that surfaces in my area ends up in my hands eventually. Ten was his price, arguably low...

But then again, this one I own is the only one I've seen. I'd love to get another, preferrably a Rush or Spencer artwork on one (or both!).

The double backed ones, like the War Drums above, are equally odd. I do, however, have double backed ones from Masques (5 or 6 I think). I prefer them, because I can play with them  :D

So what about this miscut Sliver deck? Are they showing more than one card on each? That'd be cool to see. I'd be interested in purchasing it or trading off a few duplicate misprints.

There are multiple permutations that exist, including 3 main classes:

1.  (Card A)/(CardB) Front : (Magic Back) Back

2.  (Card A) Front : (CardB)/(Magic Back) Back

3.  (Magic Back) Front : (Card A)/(Magic Back) Back

Variations of upside-down and right-side up pictures also exist between these 3 classes.  Someone in Quality must have been on vacation the day they were printing.

alas yes - Eric at Cardhaus was also in on the deal - get the feeling that with the right 'contacts' i could have made a lot more, but still i made over double my money and can't complain as it paid for half a loft conversion on my house...

Hi Alan.
I collect these Old Infos for you  ;) :)
have a few cards from Fallen Empires that are noticably misprinted. I have 3 uncommons that have "blue" borders. i don't know what caused this, but they look really cool. i don't have a scanner, so I can't post them, but if anyone has seen these before, I'd like to know. Also, I have a double printed card from Fallen Empires. It's a Basal Thrull with a Homarid Spawning Bed printed on top of it. It also looks very cool. If anyone has info about any of these, it would be appreciated.

A friend of mine has a few of these blue bordered cards. Neither of us know anything about them though.
