Tim spent a lot of time he did have to begin with and still does not have. There was one guy specifically who wanted the list to be updated to the current minute. So he pulled it. anyone can put there own list together.

Does Daarken print his name in all caps for certain sigs? Every card I've had signed by him is in cursive run together. Just curious if anyone has seeen him print it.

He indeed has printed it. He use to use that for his signature, and I am guessing found it to be too slow for the volume of cards he was doing. I have seen many people claim his printed signature to be fake, and I am sure some are, you just have to know what your looking for.

I got my numbered collector's edition in the mail today! The book is really nicely done, high quality. I wish it was a little longer, but alas. The main reason I bought the numbered collector's edition was for the 2 unique sketch cards though, and those didn't disappoint. I received a really cool looking orc or goblin head from an artist whose signature I'm unable to decipher, and a VERY nicely done full scene sketch from Randy Asplund titled "The Sea Queen's Farewell". I tried scanning them in, but the light pencil strokes of Randy Asplund's piece really didn't pick up well so I took pictures of them instead. If you'd like to see them, check them out here (first time using photobucket, hopefully I did it right): http://s1378.photobucket.com/user/PortlisX/library/?sort=3&page=1 I'm trying to figure out who did the sketch of the orc head though, and it's driving me nuts. I just can't decipher the signature at the bottom. Any guesses?

The orc was drawn by Dan Frazier. Very nice! __________________

Woot thanks. And confirmed by Pete Venters, not that I doubted you  The signature looks different than a lot of his older cards that I have signed by him. Like, it's not even close. Anyhow, definitely happy to have 2 nice sketches from 2 iconic MTG artists! I'd love to see what sort of sketches other people have received too.

In case anyone else is interested in this sort of thing, John Avon has a semi similar kickstarter campaign going on right now. Might interest some of you folks, I know a lot of people enjoy his art. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/johnavonart/journeys-to-somewhere-else-by-john-avon Just over 2 days left.
