Swamps and Quinton Hoover
Hi all!
this is my first post. I'm not native in english language, but I'll do my best.
I really like this forum, now I need to understand some things about the website but in general I really apreciate all the cards you have.
I start playing MtG in 1995 with the end of revised and the start of 4th edition spanish black border. In 1998 I leave the cards and started a Internet career that keep me for 15 years.
A few months ago a shop opened at my town (yeah, you can trust this? a Magic shop in my little town!!) and I started to take my cards back.
Well, I know this is not the place to explain all this, but what I want to share with you (and of course, take your help) is with my collection of Quinton Hoover cards (not really rearities, but have all MtG cards he did) and my recent collection of swamps.
Later I will post some pictures about the QH arts, but, the swamps one ... uuuhhh... is driving me crazy!! I currently have exactly 701 different swamps (with one summer and the guru yet!) and still counting, at moment I started an instagram to share it with the world, if you want to take a look is here: http://instagram.com/allswamps/.
I hope you like it and thanks for giving me your feedback.

My Quinton Hoover tribute
This is what I can do to maintain the soul of the person that makes me love art. When I was 13, see for first time the regeneration illustration, love it inmediatelly and of course, it opens me the door to artists like A. Mucha.
I really don't know if anyone in this forum was so shocket as me by this illustrator, but I will like to know.
And now, the poor photos of my beloved collection:

I have a little proxy on the computer, from magiccards.info. I really don't know if it's it, because it's far away from the art Quinton does at this time for MtG and other WotC games. (http://magiccards.info/query?q=proposal&v=card&s=cname)
It will be very very very nice to me to have a quality print of that card.
Then, what I do is to take an old fashioned one (from english legends, english dark ...) and an 'new' one (from italian sets or fourth ed.) because the looks different, the tones and the printing is different. Legends in english is printed very poor, and in italian have a very good looking (I really love how the old one looks, but to look the art is better a best print).
One that I tried to buy and finally can't take is a Vesuvan from german revised set, the color is BEATIFULL!

I have a Vesuvan Doppelganger global collection. All that I am missing from that collection is the Summer Magic version.palaueb wrote:Is here people with big Q.H. collections?
If there are some Vesuvans you want and don't mind played quality copies, I have a few extras I could send your way in return for a few Spanish cards I am missing. LMK.

Hi palaueb,
If anytime you want to add more of Quinton Hoovers TCG artworks to your collection - don't forget his great XXXenophile work!
Not sure, but it should be 9 these cards:
Boolatraaca
Cult of the Jade Nipple
Klipshack Dragonspawn
Meedrax Dragonget
Nuclear Powered Vibrator
Okaraska
Pan
Shango, God of Thunder
Xynotree
Few of them I could have twice.
Good luck with your collection!

One of my joys in collecting card games from the 90's is looking at the artwork by artists such as Quinton Hoover across all the different games. Even to this day, when I'm sorting a big stack of cards from a dead ccg (like Doomtown for example), I find myself saying "I didn't know they did artwork for this game"!
Thankfully none of my favorite artists did work on the Banemaster CCG. It would have ended their careers prematurely!
