someone in china can. but for real there are people that make good proxies. look on ebay and ask some of the people selling "alters" or proxies.

I picked up like 20 playmats recently that I need to mail. What is the best way to send them all at once without getting them creased or damaged?

Is there a priority mail box big enough? If not custom make your own. Or buy the one for your dimensions. Should find a small case or lot on eBay/amazon/uline.

Steep price to pay for a one shot mailing. Those places seldom sell boxes in bundles of less than 20, when dealing with the dimensions you would need for playmats. I would suggest going to something like a UPS store to see if they have a box that fits your needs. Barring that, you could actually try rolling them and putting them into a shipping tube. Or, just order something big on Amazon (that you were planning to buy anyway) that comes in a box that would fit your needs. __________________

On uline.com I can get 25 boxes at 24"x5"x18" for $1.26 each and shipping is
Around $18 to reading pa. So like $2.25 each. Not sure if the size is correct but if thats the ballpark your looking at spending check it out. Edit: Didn't see you wanted to ship all at once. In that case build your own box. I have done this for car parts and other odd items with no issues.

For those of you that double sleeve your decks, what boxes do you use? I've never really given much thought to them and just always used the cheapy Ultra-Pro ones, but those really aren't big enough for a double sleeved 75.

That's only the common cycle as Well. Maybe there will be a better uncommon set.

A series like:B 1/1 Death touch. Bestow B: unholy strength
W 1/1 Lifelink. Bestow W: holy strength
R 1/1 Haste. Bestow R: fire breathing
G 1/1 Trample. Bestow G: web
U 1/1 Unblockable(?). Bestow U: flight Each color gets a 1/1 for 1 with a current color related ability. The Bestowed creature gets a bonus from the old days. Either way you get a 2 for 1 for 1. maybe not but it would be nice to play more bestow stuff since it is a cool (in theory) ability.

At least for this first go around with Bestow they can't do anything like that. Their own rules for Bestow are that the enchantment effect is identical to the creature it leaves behind. 2/2s give +2/+2, if it gives deathtouch it has deathtouch, etc. What I was hoping for was more alternative Bestow costs. Right now it's mostly original CMC +1-X mana. What about a 4 mana guy that you can bestow for 3 and bouncing a land you control or a 3 mana guy you can bestow for 3 and some x amount of life. Again, maybe on the next go around.

God. I ventured into the Magic:TG Have/Want Lists today and remembered why I do not even bother........ If you want some comedy, check it out. I only included some of the better rules here as there are alot.http://classic.magictraders.com/ubb/Forum2/HTML/253566.html quote:
Rules
1. I use Starcity Games for pricing cards.
2.5 Consider my cards are played. They are designed for this purpose. If you want mint grade 9.0 cards hit the back button and go somewhere else.
3. Most deals mail in a PWE sleave and a top loader. But for larger trades or more valuable cards I do go to Bubble mailers and delivery confirmation.This is the first time I have tried this. Success or failure is up to you. Separate rules for FOIL to Lotus 1. I will only trade up
1.5 Dont ask for throw ins or deal evener's this is a strictly card for card trade.
2. Lets assume no trades that aren't at least +15%
3. I will not send first on these trades.
4. All trades must be shipped Priority mail with enough insurance to cover lost or damaged cards.
5. Condition is VERY important.
6. NO standard cards. Modern, Legacy ONLY!
7. All prices will be compared at SCG Want List:
FOIL to LOTUS Any Modern/Legacy card that is +15% of the card I currently have for trade. I am collecting Blood Scrivener feel free to throw these in, as a deal evener. No more than four at a time. I want any Language foil or non foil. MINT only.
Current Blood Scrivener Count...
x72 Have List:
FOIL to LOTUS Card. 1x Mutavault M14 NM SCG 59.99 The card you offer must be at least 68.98
1. So he sends with PWE, but you send with Priority Mail.
2. The cards he wants the condition is very important, but the cards he is trading are considered played.
3. No throw ins or deal eveners for you but feel free to throw in or even deal for him.
4. You better be ready to pay a 15% premium to trade with him..... This happens every time I think "Man, maybe I am missing out on some deals by not going to the Magic:TG Have/Want Lists section of the site".

I really want to just flat-out ban the pack-to-power, foil to Lotus, etc. Interesting project if you can legitimately work out trades to increase value by focusing on unique stuff and trading to people's particular interests, but considering virtually every single person doing it is expecting everyone else to bend over and take it from behind to help them make a huge profit to be part of something, it's just really annoying.__________________

Any dope can go pack to power. Pros go Squire to Summer Hurricane.Please ban it. Or at least, let us mock morons like that on their lists. That should help discourage the practice.

Can I do a penny to a hundred? I have a penny from 1999 will only trade up to a nickel or better.Doing it is OK but announcing that you want people to trade in your favor to accomplish it is a joke.

Exactly. Unfortunately, I don't know the last time I saw someone trying to do it honestly. __________________
