Note: Again, WotC complicates things. In North America, the Junior Super Series will be replaced with the Magic Scholarship Series, while the program will run apparently unaltered in Europe and probably in Japan under their old names. This reminds me of the new Arena League which is named Gateway program in Europe, "enter awkward name here" Kit 1 and 2 in the USA, and Arena in Japan. Why they want to complicate things this much eludes me.

Interesting choice on their part, but I love how the guy is now amongst the Time Spiral scenery and with Time Spiral garb.

Ooh, by the way did you get my last PM? :O I asked a few more values and such.

Oops! XD I'm sorry, wrong person. :-*)
Hmm ... maybe you could help me with a few Japanese BB 4th values? (I opened a few starters recently and got some cool stuff)

To coincide with Ralph's recent discovery on JSS cards, it will be interesting to see what results as a redesign of the JSS program becomes the Scholarship Series. It could be the scan, but the link showing the promo card no longer has the text box foil logo anymore. The card bottom does still have 2/2 J07 on it. If there is a separate European one, then there also should be a 2/2 E07. European members, please try to confirm this asap.

yawg07: The general idea is that you can use the value of the English 4th Edition cards and raise their prices by a set percentage. As to how high this percentage is, I can not say, as I do not buy or sell cards of this kind. Other people in the forum do, however, so they are probably happy to name a number.

Dervish was a beating in its day. They could do worse.

Agreed. If you were going to do an old un/common timeshifted card, why not something like Crypt?

You need another member for hosting a card image? Hm, who could that be? ;-)

Hi Members.
It will be intersting to find out if the European version will differ for the Soltari Priest to:
™ & © 1993-2007 Wizards of the Coast, Inc. 1/2 E07

And for the Whirling Dervish to:
™ & © 1993-2007 Wizards of the Coast, Inc. 2/2 E07

Since the card is lacking a text box logo, chances are there will not be two versions anymore. Of course, this has yet to be proven.
