I don't have any hard numbers on this, but I'm targeted more often than a black guy driving a beat-up sedan with a broken tail-light and no license plate, and Cy's well aware of that.
Please, people, if you're going to be posting gigantic images of cards or long lists of card images, PUT THEM IN SPOILER TAGS. It makes things so much less cluttered.

"...because without beer, things do not seem to go as well."
Well, the closest I've come to considerable bling are the 6 total Bitterblossoms I've cracked, two fo which being foil, both foils also sitting atop a Mutavault. I nearly crapped myself when it happened a second time.
Yeah, it isn't force of wills or mox of any kind, but my best bling at the moment is my nearly completed sets of tutors and wishes! All but one are Mint/NM!
I'm missing Sylvan and Personal Tutors, and Death and Golden Wish.
What I have...
Tutors
Enlightened Tutor (Arena promo)
Mystical Tutor (Japanese)
Booster Tutor (a bit worn :()
Vampiric Tutor (Judge Foil)
Goblin Tutor (Traded a Gilded Lotus for it!)
Worldly (Japanese)
Demonic Tutor (Judge Foil, my prized possession)
Infernal Tutor (Foil)
Idyllic Tutor (Foil)
Cruel Tutor (was a pain to find)
Rhystic Tutor (Foil)
Grim Tutor (my first expensive tutor, was a b-day gift)
Diabolic Tutor (Odyssey Foil)
Anyway, going to try and get scans up as soon as I complete the wish collection (Approx. two weeks from now, as a friend is waiting on shipping to go through), and then I'll work on the tutors, which may be a pain in the backside.
This is why I hated gleemax-give a thread like this 1 post before mention of the pimp himself. As is, I can't scan it at the moment, but I have a pretty pimp japanese sliver queen... although looking at this thread, I can't really expect it to impress. Also, a foil BB... But my old name (Budget Player Cadet) still rings pretty true.

The question remains- Are you going to try for the English Imperial Seal?
Nothing pimp for me, although that will change once I start jumping on the Cube bandwagon. I've already got some foil/foreign goodies, but nothing as ridiculous as the cards shown here so far. <_<

I have a number of imperial seals if anyone wants. An English one will be available on the trading forum soon.
TheChosen1: I can get you a T-Chinese portal Sylvan Tutor if you like.
2 Japanese Foil, 2 English Foil, 4 English non Foil Altered Thorn of Amethyst, 2 Stasis Artist Proof with Fay Jones (rare sig) signature and 4 salvat contracts (updated from my earlier post with a 4th one).
Most pimp deck? I have a friend who's been playing mTG since the very beginning with Alpha and Beta. She runs an akroma deck with 4 Black Lotus' (no joke) and is known for the turn one Akroma and turn three win with that white deck. Totally casual deck of course. Her nickname became "Master of Akroma" after a while.
As far as Pimp decks:
before I sold my vast collection, every deck I owned was foil. casual, standard, whatever. Of course, there would be the occasional card that might get through not being foil, if it was something printed before foils were.
I actually still have my Jon Avon binder. It's a collection I started, having all foil versions of his cards. His artwork is amazing, but foiled...it's just speechless. They pick the right parts to foil on his art.
Someday, I would love the chance to meet him, and have him sign them all.
Media is not making me steal. But in a way is like the story of the very hot girl with the short skirt teasing the old sick guy with a history of rape.
Frenger, what is so pimp about those Counterspells? They just look like French Tempest. Is that good or something?
They're placeholders while i find 2 more foil french 7th or MM. I just figured i'd scan my set.
And no, its not good at all, they cost 25 cents and are very common
I also have my 3rd foil french standstill in the mail along with a foil french nantuko monastery and 2 french humilities. So if you're in the market for foil english standstill, foil chinese signed monasteries, or 1 japanese humility, hit me up with a PM cause i've upgraded to french.

Update to my contract collection. I've gotten 1 T-Chinese 6th 1 Japanese 7th and 2 S-Chinese 7th but I hav'nt scaned them in. I've got 5 playsets of foil pieces

I must say that the members there are VERY helpful. I'll never have gotten this far without them. if anyone have NM copies of cards I'm missing I'll be pleased. The difficult copies to locate are the spanish non foils (except salvat), portuguese non foils and italian non foils and all the foil pieces.

So i guess i'll post some pimp in here:

it's probably the only card i think i have worth a lot ^^
I specifically asked people posting large images to put them in spoiler tags. Anyone else from this point on gets an Infraction.
I've also made over 95 bucks on this site since I started on 11/24/09. Give it a try!

I have these, altered by our very own Catherine Chandler...love 'em.
I also have 3x foil Blast from the Past. It's got the old school shiney star. I play them w/my Wal-Mart Jaya Ballards...just seemed fitting.

How's THIS for pimp?
Admittedly i no longer own these, the french ones were traded to Annorax and the japanese ones to a french guy.
But whatevs, pimp is pimp.
I am trying to get it signed
they are not signed though
i had mine signed in person
that being said, they are really really nice
....And I can't play a single game without someone asking me if they're for trade.
