I'm realising that I'm increasingly becoming a collector with a pauper cube. I have been looking at this lot for a while and wondering if I should pull the trigger.
I just want some interesting and nice shiny things to look at but if the lot was just a collection of Theros and RTR prerelease promo's then it would break my heart.
Just wondering if anyone has bought this and if so what has their experience been?
I picked up a lot of 25 promos that SCG had off Amazon just for fun recently. All the cards were in NM with only a couple of exceptions. No duplicates. However, roughly a little less than half were newer prerelease cards, which is OK for me, but I would have preferred more alternate art promos. I will be likely to pick up another pack of them at some point I suspect.

I have not, personally, but it's pretty much a promo card repack. SCG isn't going to be handing out judge foils in these things.

Though I can't imagine them placing high-dollar cards in them, do you think they'd pack in full-art cards like old Player Rewards cards and the like? Even cheap ones? That'd actually be kinda cool.
Reprints the one card that people point to when saying that art objectifies women.
Well done Wizards.
Liliana does not objectify women in any way at all. We have gotten to a point in our society that every single picture of a women must be objectifying a women in some negative way......blah blah blah.. That is not the case. (((Sarcasm)))Picture of a girl drinking a milk shake, must be sex related and putting women down, picture of girl sitting on a beach, picture of a girl driving a car, picture of a girl on the moon at a new space station.)))
You have a picture of an attractive strong power women who girls dress up as for anime conventions. What more do you want? The picture is fine, happy to see a reprint. Sick of of seeing people claim that everything in existence must be putting women down. Then all I have to do is replace the word "women" with anything else to get the same mentality; fish, cats, arabs, blacks, jews, men, environment, whites, chinese, old people, etc. It doesn't matter what word I put in. Stop sucking life out of everything man. That artwork of her is awesome. Stop putting stuff down man. Just stop. If the picture was really as negative as you claim she would totally nude, in a kitchen, making sandwiches and giving blow jobs. Her abilities would be horrible as well. +1 do nothing -2 do nothing -6 do nothing. Instead liliana of the veil is an amazing planeswalker comparable to jace, the mind sculpter with great art to appreciate.
My suggestion listen to some comedy radio for a while, pandora is free, youtube is free there is something out there for you. ***** go make fun of somebody. The whole world is so serious and campaigning for some cause, or someones rights, everything is a hate crime, racist, sexist. blah blah blah.
"O no mcdonalds must be slandering a hate crime against skinny people every time they make a big mac." hahaha jeeze You're just someone perpetuating another groups negative perspective that they've made you believe is correct. Look at the picture for a hour and tell me what's wrong with it? I don't see anything.
I have heard vague rumors of a moustache-dispensing vending machine in a distant laundromat, across the street from a tattoo parlor. However, this information is shaky, and time is of the essence.

Given that the splash image shows an MPR Bit Blast front and center, I think there'd be a good chance.
It's SCG. They don't need to build rep. They need to move a bunch of cheap promos that aren't selling. Look at their promo section, find all the ones under a dollar, and those are what you're likely to get.

One thing to note is that the lot is listed as SP. This is likely so that scg can put the odd SP card in there if they have some that aren't selling, with the majority still being NM, but it's still worth noticing. Since people who buy promo version of cards are usually doing it to pimp up a deck they're less likely to be interested in SP cards, so the jump from NM to SP is bigger for promos than for regular version. With that in mind, it's not inconceivable to get some >$1 promos that are SP. Apart from that, lots like this are usually just a bunch of bulk promos that aren't selling.

While the value may technically be there, these are going to be cards that SCG cannot sell. This is not a lot that you'll be able to flip.
