Arena League Promos: two versions of Urza's foil lands?
Hi.
I noticed something while storing arena league promos: some urza's saga foil lands display a bigger shooting star than others. In particular I have two swamps, one with the shooting star exacly as dispayed in this website gallery, the other with a bigger shooting star (the spike at "northwest" touches the inner border of the text box).
Is this something known that I ignore? Is this true for other lands?

What's not sure? Forest Urza Saga Arena. First Card with the Expansion Logo. First Foil Card with the Big Shooting Star.Knutsen wrote:Not sure, but weren't the first 'normal' foils in Urza's Legacy?
Plains Arena 2000. First Foil Card with the Small Shooting Star. Arena League Mercadian Masques premium basic lands have a smaller shooting star than regular Mercadian Masques premium basic lands.

It's easy, Urza Saga Arena lands have a Big Shooting Star, while the normal foils have a smaller one.
Foil Urza's saga cards don't exist, "regular" Foil cards begin with the next set...

That's correct, I did have a blonde moment, but again, I don't collect any normal cards after Exodus, so after that, it's twilight zone for me

Hi Gits
Thanks for the scans. I confirmed that, as I went through my 20 Arena Lands, I do have an Island affected like that . Now need to check my sealed boosters. I will add in the info of Arena Lands Urza Saga that bigger shooting star exist for Island and Swamp, till we can check for the 3 others lands. Great find =D> PS:At least 4 more Arena Urza Saga lands to find now with the Bigger Shooting Star
And I have the answer, 2 different versions of the Urza Saga boosters exist. On the scan, the one on the left is the second version, on the right the first version (Having the bigger shooting star) and that were not sealed. So, I'm pretty sure that the 5 Urza Saga lands are affected. Also the Urza Saga Lands were given in 2 different years 1999 and 2000, that could explain also why 2 different Shooting stars.

Cool, nice catch , I had two of them in my stack of arena islands. (here's another pic of one vs a regular one)

I wonder, do both versions of the Island exist with the missing expansion symbol error?
I'm working on a global set of this artwork of Island, so I will need one of these versions, once I figure out which one I already have. (traveling at the moment and won't be able to check for at least a few days)
Great Find!

EDIT: Just noticed that the small star Island shown above IS missing the expansion symbol. Does a small star Island also exist WITH the symbol?
Maybe I already have both versions.

Hi Members
Can you check your Arena Urza Saga cards from 1999 and 2000 to see if 2 versions exist for:
*Pouncing Jaguar
*Island NO expansion symbol
*Skittering Skirge
*Mountain
*Rewind
*Plains
*Karn, Silver Golem
*Duress
JUDGE GIFTS
*Lightning Bolt
*Stroke of Genius
*Gaea's Cradle
JUNIOR SUPER SERIES
*Thran Quarry
This will be very bad news, if on top of the Lands, the others are affected
