So after I got the last signed Beta cards for this year today I thought it would be a good idea to finish up the Beta 2013 project.

Here are some figures about it:

1327 cards total
91 missing
18 pending at the artists

Possibly? I know Star City had purchased a beta set a while ago that they broke up and sold on ebay, and all the auctions I remember were for signed cards. I don't recall if it was a completely signed set, or a mostly signed set. Ben might know.

I think it was around 75% signed...I know a guy that has a completely signed Alpha/Beta set but I never met anyone with a complete signed Beta set.

A buddy of Daniel Chang is 20 cards away...

Updated the FE-Set...Only 3 cards remain to have that monster complete.

I will add some new IA scans as well and if I find the time start with the Alliances set (only 7 away there)

Maybe just something you overlooked in the excitement of this obviously outstanding achievement, but your "signature" could use some updating ;)

and congratulations on the incredible achievement! =D>

congrats !

now it's going to seem easy for you to complete more recent sets....
maybe until you hit P3K :-\'

Thanks guys.

Recent sets are a nightmare. Too many artists that won't answer to emails more than 75% of a set is not really doable without MAJOR work.

Fromr the newer sets Lorwyn is the set where I am very near (9 cards) but other than that it's the old ones that are doable (Stronghold - 14 cards / Alliances - 7 cards)...

I will certainly keep you posted :-D

Update....Got some very hard to find cards...


Legends is finished!!! The set has been updated on the first page

I also reduced my FE-missings to 1 (RKF-version: Farrel's Zealot)

Enjoy!
