I tried out something to get the feel of the painted-over artifact border back by adding a similar texture to the text box, not sure how well that turned out though - opinions?
That's what happens when you acetone (or otherwise de-ink) foil cards. People make custom silver-bordered cards pretty often, or they completely blank all the ink from the foils in order to prep the card for printing foil proxies.
That explains it. I saw a few more of these amongst a box of foils, so I'd imagine whoever used to own it was playing around with acetone or some other tools. It was only a couple of dollars like the rest of the foils so I had a feeling it wasn't super special.
Here's the first alter in my cube. One of the guys in my group has gotten into altering cards and I wanted him to work on the 8 gold-bordered cards in my cube. We started here:

I can't say I'm pleased to see you and must warn you I may have to do something about it.

Finally pulled the trigger on this. Figure I'll have a cube forever, and the cube will have City of Brass forever, so might as well get the best version

Nice one. And because of the Old school format you can expect it to be a good investment as well.
Had some really nice alterations in my cube but one of the cards got stolen not long ago
That sucks. I know you are very open in the danish magic community and invites anyone that want to come to your cube events. I have never had the time and aren't particular fond of custom cards myself, so haven't participated.
But with a unique card like this it should be possible to find the culprit? Try to post on the magictraders, deckteck.dk facebook groups and let ppl know that they can send the card anonymous and no hard feelings.
The artist that altered it was CardKitty, but they're retired. Her brush style of new-art cards like that is pretty unique, so replacing it with the same style will be hard. But if you want to replace it with a card that has the same subject (a King's Landing GoT art alter) you can find someone. I recommend Poxy14 to replicate that land for you. Affordable prices and top quality work. And he specializes in landscapes. Best of luck, sorry to hear about the theft. Make sure to publicize it; it should be hard to move a 1-of-a-kind card once announcements have been made.
Nice sigs man. RKF's signature is really cool and unique.
Speaking of signatures, I had the 'pleasure' of painting this for someone today. Let's just say I didn't charge enough for having to paint around the sigs.
They were done by Will LaRocque Moreno, you can find him on facebook here:

He's done a lot of my original art alter stuff. I really like his style. I know someone else here had also gotten something else done by him too.

Man, that sucks.
It really depends what kind of alter it is, as I feel there are artists who excel at different things.
