ABUGames, CCGHouse, and TrollandToad all have listed artist signed cards on their sites at one point - don't know if they still do. Hope this helps

Those are the Bloodhall Ooze versions...such an odd choice.

Yes, there is a premium. But this premium highly depends on the type of card and doodle. A slight Dan Frazier alter (he drew sun glasses on a goblin of mine) won't give you much (0 - $0.1) but the full screen alters done by Doug Shuler (like these) will fetch a HEFTY premium...

well since it has putrid leech and deathrite, it makes the card slightly more interesting. Haven't actually seen it in action tho, so I'll reserve judgment.

Game 1
Opponent: I professor oak
Me: I force that
Op: You can't, it's a trainer, not a spell
Me: THat's stupid
Op: Judges?
Other people in the room: Trainers aren't spells
Me: THis is an epic fail guys
Opponent dumps his hand, draw 7, duresses my force, necromancy griselbrand, attach to greaves, we go to game 2

Game 3:
Op: I swing with team
Me: Ok, so the tarmogoyf and the nighhawk gets through, I am at 1
Op: No, dead, goyf is 5/6
Me: No, I count instant, creature, sorcery and planeswalker
Op: And professor oak, trainer
Me: That's not a card type!
Op: Judges?
Other people in the room: Trainer is a card type, you're dead
Me: Your cube is stupid

So your opponents are idiots.

The best part is that they are wrong about Goyf, trainer couldn't even be a card type. Goyf has defined all card types inherently in the text of the card.

Tarmogoyf's power is equal to the number of card types among cards in all graveyards and its toughness is equal to that number plus 1. (Artifact, creature, enchantment, instant, land, planeswalker, sorcery, and tribal are card types.)

reminder text (the crap in parenthesis) isnt real text. if a new card type got printed, goyf WOULD count it. even though it wouldnt be listed on goyf.

Other people have suggested Yugioh cards but the owner made it pretty clear that he thinks one card from another game is kinda cool, but multiples would be kinda dumb

So yea, I'm pretty sure that isn't a cube you are playing. Perhaps a rectangle or something else strange.

At first, I thought it was terrible as well (especially after that kind of a bs loss), but after laughing about it for the rest of the night, I am 100% for its inclusion. So the house rule for professor is:
1. It has no mana cost and can only be played as a special action during your precombat main phase (following its pokemon rule)
2. It is not a spell so it can't be responded to, does not use the stack and can't be countered (basically restating it's a special action)
3. It has the card type trainer
4. It has a converted mana cost of zero for any effect that cares about it, ex: chalice of the void or void
5. It can not be played as though it had flash since it is not a spell even if you had something like leyline of anticipation or suspend
6. It is an absolute first pick and more broke than any p9
7. I want a signed first edition one for my friend's cube if anyone has it (I will trade very generously for it)

Does anyone else have a cool and unique you personalize your cube with? I would love to hear some stories

Perhaps I speak for myself, but I think the majority of us fill our magic the gathering cubes...with magic the gathering cards. I imagine you've probably replaced the wheel of fortune card with a Pat Sajak of some sort?

I was considering putting a booster tutor in my cube as something fun and new, and then out of the undrafted stuff randomly picking 15 cards. It seemed like a cool idea, but thats as far off the deep end I go.

Some people seem to think it's about money (which it is to an extent) and this would have the max attendance?

Going on in the trade&value forum, but figure this is pfms instead.
