I'm in the predicament where I have 8 Wastelands.

I have a playset of the Judge promos and a playset of Tempest which includes a Korean, German, Japanese and a MPR Foil.

No I would love to sell either set, however, I want either of the sets signed for my collection.

Either would do, but there lies the problem.

Una Fricker refuses to respond to any form of contact, so that seems to be a dead end.

Carl Critchlow currently will not sign cards through the mail, and for now, is not making any appearances anywhere.

I have been in contact with him for awhile now, and have bought signed artist proofs from him multiple times, each time begging him to be allowed to send him the Wastelands to sign, at which point now he just ignores the request.

Now I know, if I move a playset, whatever one I end up moving will be of the artist that decides to let me send them to them.

Damn signed card fixation

Hrm.. Bet you'd like the collection Tom's cousin just bought. Whole bunch of signed cards. Even planechase ones.

Thanks,
Jazaray

The song isn't that bad, just the singing is kinda crappy and the vocals are too quiet. And the tempo is too slow.

It's amazing how people don't send a refcheck when you complain about the condition of their cards.

I'd probably have 3 refs more if people werent such douchebags. This is obviously a flaw in the system.

Valakut and Boros are still tier 1. U/B control is starting to make a come back, and Kibler's U/B infect deck is borderline tier 1 as well.

The deck skeletons are still the same, but just like legacy, new tech are created to counter previous tech, and the cycle goes on.

I've always thought that the way for a reference system to work well (any reference system - eBay, I'm looking at you too!) is that neither side receives the ref until both parties have left a reference for the other. That way, if someone does not leave a reference for the other person, they are hurting themselves as well. I wouldn't think that would be too hard for a talented programmer to come up with that functionality either, but then again I'm not much of a programmer.

The problem with this is retaliatory refs make this type of system less likely to have honest feedback. If I give someone the 3 that they deserve for various problems, it also means that I am more likely to get a 3 back out of spite, so rather than opting not to bother with a ref from someone who's likely to be banned sooner or later, I have to risk a bad ref from an unhappy trader or lie and make them sound like a good trader?

LOL @ Patrick Chapin working on the song. Those responsible for this song should be sacked.

Maybe I misread, but it sounds like he's saying that neither one of the traders get to see what ref was left for them, until both ref checkers are filled out. So there is no chance for retaliatory refs. The way it is right now, people can do that.

Thanks,
Jazaray
