... for real: http://www.ebay.com/itm/MtG-Taiga-2-/331190584350?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEDWX%3AIT&_trksid=p2047675.l2557&nma=true&si=XcGtfR2PWePWlfiAOG7cPiMbrlc%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc
Those are not beta because they lack the little white trangles in the corner.
question is, are they unlimited with colored in borders, or just flat out fakes.

The borders are painted. Look under the copyright symbol, youll see the black edge bleeds onto the card. and on the top left side, where the light hits it, you can see ripples in the paint.__________________ "He fights you not because you have wronged him, but because you are there."<@Anusien> Pretty sure New Zealanders are the sheep shaggers <KIP_NZ> Anusien: I'm a kiwi and I've shagged a sheep <KIP_NZ> we kiwi's like our sheep

You can't trust a seller who's description of a dual land is "Selling some old stuff my son left behind, I know nothing about this game other than it cost me a lot of money. Card in picture is what you receive. No returns accepted." Also they have a history of purchasing cards from sellers on EBay as far back as May 2013.

Yeah, they know nothing about magic but you can see in their feedback they bought a jace and some stoneforges. Buyers will be getting their money back via paypal.

I dont know about that. Look at the description....doesn't say anywhere its a Beta. Just a Tiaga. You get what is in the picture. I hope not, but I think the buyer is screwed. __________________ Collecting a.k.a. Hording...Phyrexian Negator. Foil, regualar, foreign, any. Help the collection grow.

Only if the buyer is made to realize what happened. Did anyone try to warn her or tell ebay?

How many MTG kids have you seen wave money in your face and front like they know what they're doing? kingtal0n did it on these boards not long ago. I know it's called common sense, but it's a misnomer. __________________ "Message to women worldwide: Girls....we're stupid. We don't like games. We don't know games. We can't read minds.

If English is your first language, you'd better know the difference between your, you're, and yore. That isn't meant as an insult (though it might sound like one), but rather as an illustration of how inane I think your point is: it's about as good as the claim I just made. People get taken in all the time: it doesn't take all that much. How often have you been ripped? If someone had taken the time to warn you that the deal was suspicious, or that the trader was bad, it could have saved you some time, money, and heartache (I know that I could have used the warning about Strickland's Mana Drains!). The same applies to ebay scams--and in this case, it could lead to shutting down the scammer's operations (or at least throwing a wrench in them). Why wouldn't you take the five seconds to notify someone? Bystanders can actually do a whole lot more than standing around gawking (or laughing). Frankly, I think it's minimally morally decent behaviour. __________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think they will sing to me." -T.S.

Bidders are anonymous now. You used to be able to warn bidders of a scam, but you could also email them and offer them to sell the item for less, so ebay got rid of that feature.

Damn. That explains that. I did report the listing as fraudulent, but unfortunately there's no way to explain just what the fraud consisted in. __________________ "I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
