After Christmas last year I started a new "project". It's one project I will never finish but it will keep me occupied for a very, very long time. Here is an example page (yes, including its 301 friends - Beta set 9x signed).
Current status: 1273 cards to go until it is finished ;-)
I actually stopped playing with M14. Reasons were (and still are) that as a collector WOTC is produce too many products to keep track off. I don't want to spend ever waking hour finding out about new products/reprints (with alter arts) or scouting the internet for all promos of a specific set.
My collection is Alpha - M14 (20 years of MTG should be enough). I keep buying cards from those sets (less and less) especially signed cards but other than that...nothing.
The more important question I am asking myself: What would cause me to SELL my collection? I am very happy at the moment with my collection and don't see any way I could sell it...But then again: "Everybody has his price"...I am not sure what mine would be....I don't have an answer yet but it will be interesting in the coming years/decades...
So, it's again the end of year. An opportunity to show the current status of my signed beta playset.
I did it a bit different this year than on the previous years. To avoid flooding you/this site with +160 pictures I only posted the pages that actually changed. To make it a bit easier I also have the 2013 counterpart (in the first spoiler also smaller pictures).
Hmm... seems like this didn't become a reply even though I clicked reply on your post of Luca-signed cards that you uploaded a few months ago.
Luca was at an event in Italy where a friend of mine was playing/getting cards signed. I sent him my cards.
I get interesting feedback on those Moxes :)...While a lot of people don't reply at all (which is fine) the ones that like them and the people who want to smack me for "destroying 5 pieces of power" is about the same.
It has finally arrived!!! Very happy at the moment!
A couple of years ago I bought some PSA graded Beta Power cards (I wanted a PSA Beta set back in the day). But then at the beginning of this year I realized that the prices for Beta Power were just getting insane (graded even more so). So I decided to trade my PSA cards for Beta Moxes to get a second set for my signed Beta collection.
And after a email conversation with Dan Frazier I decided to get them altered...The result is even better than I imagined. Awesome!!!
And now I have a signed Playset Here are the beauties:

The majority of players will pay maximum an unsigned version's worth. But there are signed card collector's who would pay more.
Jason Chan's sig is not so easily obtained since he doesn't allow mailings. He only signs at Tournaments (maybe 1 a year).
@Aether7: Wow.
And now I can finally present to you my 15th signed set..."Stronghold"
Only 41 cards to go to the signed Beta playset
Could be Richard Garfield but it looks very strange. Never seen Garfield sign like this. Could it be a player? (don't know those guys names)

Sorry Roger...My wife has a strict "no adoption of MTG players"-policy
@Vedast: Magnificent!

Enjoy...
Can't say I do. I don't have a signed card by Anthony Jones. Sorry.
Looks okay to me.
and then these...you can never have too many Academies...

He is right. That is Veronique's old signature. My cards are signed the same way.
Sorry, can't help you there
@drillie88: On your card as well. No the artist I am afraid
