So I was opening a booster pack last night of ravnica allegiance and instead of getting a token card in the back of the pack I was instead greeted by a white/white blank card. It has two transparent oil streaks going down one side of the card. I’ve tried to find something similar online but I’ve had no luck. Really confused as to what it is. Does anyone have any idea?
It's a specimen card. If you've ever seen an uncut sheet, sometimes there are blanks to fill out the sheet because the numbers don't work out precisely. Typically they're discarded by the printer, but sometimes they make it into packs. If the streaks are actually oil, then that's kind of gross. If just it's a weird sheen, well, that's kind of cool.
I recognize that this is ridiculous/absurd, but I value the community's expertise.
I am moving and while downsizing, realize that it is time to let my collection (read: hoard) of Savage Punch go. Collected it because the art is perfect and it just continued to grow. I now have apx. 6000 copies of it that need to find a new home(s). Love something, set it free, right?
Any ideas on what the best way to do this is?
Ummm.
Honestly, I got nothing. I'd post the lot on eBay and talk up how crazy it is. Six THOUSAND copies of one card - amaze your friends, amuse your enemies! That kind of thing.
A lot of vendors actually can't buy sealed product from players - only from distributors. I asked SCG for a quote on some of my sealed boxes, and they flat-out said "We don't do that - we'll open it in front of you and quote you on the singles."
Sell the sealed stuff on eBay. Maybe take the singles to Jersey. A couple weeks ago I would've said "Meet me there and I'll make you some offers", but due to personal circumstances I can't make it this year.
100$ of importation fees per kit + 40$ for shipping, thanks for trying WotC but it's still a no for EU :'(
Honestly, that's still probably going to be cheaper than buying them on the secondary market.
25 minutes later, and they're still up. I don't expect them to last much longer, but it's interesting to have a public count of how many units sold - should tell us how many units exist as well.
PW's are Karn, Scion of Urza, Jaya, Tamiyo, the moon sage, Sorin Markov, Dack Fayden, New Kaya and New Domri.
It will be handled by Hasbro's Ebay store and will ship world wide.
They won‘t ship world wide, just received a statement on eBay regarding my issue being not able to order from them at all.
And I doubt they‘ll be able to ship globally before 2020 in General…:

So they're probably scrambling last-minute to try to fix things. Which is great, because the last few times they didn't bother to try to fix anything until AFTER the last minute.
3. I never liked reddit and I do think that this part of the forum should be reworked. It would be better to just have 2 price discussion threads. One with cards from 8th edition till today, the other one with older cards (for example).
So, Modern and Older, instead of the five that we've got now? Personally, I feel that if we compact them that much, we may as well just have one thread for "Price deltas". But I'm always open to hearing feedback, so if you'd like to make any pitches about how the Café could be restructured to improve traffic, be assured that you have my full attention. If I may ask, why do you favor a two-thread approach?
We've got another Mythic Edition coming, and while there are more options for deckbuilding this time (three monocolored walkers, one at colorless, and two that work with guilds in the set), I'm not thinking that this will be much better. Dack is pretty obviously a pass, and while Ajani could be okay he's in completely unsupported colors so after my experience with Teferi I'd argue that he's also a hard pass. Kaya, while a card that is actually in the set already, doesn't seem too overwhelming to me - she won't affect the board much, and there doesn't seem to be a ton of graveyard shenanigans in RNA for her to disrupt. I'd probably take her anyway because she represents a swing of 6-10 life, but she's not a windmill-slam first-pick.
I'm deeply disappointed that Daretti and Ajani weren't switched. That seems like a no-brainer.
Domri will be a house, Karn is a card drawing engine, and Sorin and Tamiyo are removal on a stick. Jaya is decent, but not unbeatable.
I hope to have the opportunity to draft this Mythic Edition as well, but after the last one I'm significantly less excited about it. Anyone else thinking about drafting this?
Sorry I took so long to reply, I'd actually forgotten where I'd put the new card! Here it is beside my own dated promo. I've no st foil to compare it to but that shouldn't have the watermark. I can't see any flaws on the misprint.
Well, the bad news is that there's someone on eBay selling one just like that for $10 shipped, and it's not flying off the shelf, so that's the upper bound on the price for you.
I'll check mine when I get home - I have no idea if it's got a watermark or not.
The biggest contributor is that the various price-tracking threads for various sets were retired and the concept sent to the front page (which is now the Magic Market Index). Those threads were where most of the discussion happened. Now it's a new thread every week, and people probably don't realize that they're actual open threads, and can be commented upon. Personally, I lament the loss.
Of course, if you're talking about RL price spikes, that's a different story, and for me the story goes "Ugh, another card jumping for no reason except speculation." I got sick of saying it, so I stopped. I imagine that many others have a similar feeling.
I recently got a foil Soul Collector from Scourge online. It seems to be an unstamped prerelease misprint, with the text box watermark but no date. Bit of a pain as I'm trying to collect the regular foil set.
I can't find anything about it online other than the fact that it exists; no auction listings or other valuations. I'm not into misprints myself so I haven't a clue if it's worth anything, does anybody? Its condition is great, no scratches or wear or bending or anything.
Looking to buy bulk common and uncommon cards. Newer sets preferred but open to old ones as well.
Haven't bought bulk in quite some time but it seems like filling up USPS flat rate boxes is the most cost effective method of shipping.
Looking to buy roughly 20k at the moment. May also be interested in bulk rares for the right price.
Since solicitation is strictly forbidden in the MS Café, I'm going to presume that you're looking for online sites that will sell you bulk. I'd look on eBay or to one of the larger merchants such as SCG. They often have deals this time of year.
I know that it's an absurdly bad card, but I think that my favorite card is still Gabriel Angelfire. I remember when I first got one for my GW deck, before it was reprinted in Chronicles. I had a choice - for $17 I could get either Gabriel or the Tabernacle at Pendrell Vale. I was advised by the store owner to get the Tabernacle, and I kind of wish I'd followed that advice now, but I bought Gabriel and shuffled him into my 65 (60 card deck? What's that?). I don't know that I drew him in more than a handful of games, but I really liked playing with a Legend.

And I thought that I had a lot of Atogs ...
I think that when sales started slowing down, they pulled some for other purposes. Maybe special prizes, maybe just to increase scarcity.

As usual, I'd love to see a scan.
Depends on how it's misprinted. I HIGHLY suggest that you attach pictures if you want anything more than a hand-wave.
