He has had a Prodigal Sorcerer deck together since roughly Tempest/Visions that was "unstoppable" in our house for a long time. He quit playing probably 12 years ago and just found the deck in his closet and wants to get rid of it... all of it jank except the playsets of Savannah, Tundra, and Tropical Island. Naturally, they have never seen sleeves, and I believe this is the only deck he ever had. I can't (can?) wait to see those.

Before emigrating to Europe I sold my collection to a dealer on the east coast...was it carefully taped back together with the rip going slightly slanted from side to side?

The guy was gonna just throw them out (this was about 8 years ago) and I said I would take them.

The Royal Assassin is from the first starter deck I ever bought.

Is that still available, 'slinga? I'd be interested if so.

I'd like to second this notion. Infinite playwear is where it's at! As for my contribution, until I can get to a scanner this is the best I have for now:

My Lotus

Played without sleeves by me for quite some time after being acquired in a trade when it was worth around $100. I can't ever use it since I don't play Vintage but I love having it .

I have a beat beta Berserk and a sweet Sol Ring as well. Will post when I get a chance!

Edit: Ihateworking, your Berserks are much loved! Not sure who's would win the battle of the beat Berserks but you might have the edge with the worn out eye.

Honestly, I love beat cards, but that lotus kinda makes me sad. It looks like it has been used enough to cast all 4000+ of my Weaknesses.

I would love to see your Berserk!!

It had the usual array of heavy play wear(similar to the Alpha Berserk) but the bottom edge on the back was heavily worn off and badly inked. I'd love to find it again.

Here's the Berserk, as requested:

Front Back

Here's the first Sol Ring I ever owned, fresh from my first starter deck of Revised. It and a veteran Bodyguard were the all-stars of my first deck. Back then, Veteran bodyguard and Castles was a fairly effective defense, sadly.

Front Back

My trusty Maze of Ith, making creatures get lost since packs of Dark were $2!

Finally, some of my most loved Unlimited duals.

These cards were probably played in decks together for most of their sleeveless existence. I bridge shuffled like mad and resisted our new sleeve overlords for a very long time. When I buckled it was grudgingly, as a Judge at a local event forced me to proxy almost an entire deck due to playwear (there were no colored sleeves back then, just the clear ultra pros). I just wish I still had my Mox Pearl, it was worn in a more unique fashion, showing the bridge shuffle quite clearly through its wear.
