      Ive seen the goyf that this belongs too, they arent factory miscuts, somone got their hands on the sheet and dit it themselves. My buddy has 4 foil miscut knights of the reliquary from the edge of what im assuming is the same sheet

    in 1995 I worked in a mtg shop. A dude travelled to my town from Singapore just to check the local shops and buy old school MTG cards. he was an interesting fellow. walked around with an umbrella in the sun. cool dood.

    It's not said in the video but the miscuts are not factory cut. These were cut later from a full foil sheet of Modern Masters that was probably won at a GP or something.

    • @bryanbonar
      @bryanbonar 7 років тому +1

      ivebeen if the back and front are cut the same it's most likely NFC (not factory cut)

    • @yarnak9455
      @yarnak9455 7 років тому +1

      they would cost more if they were factory cut, yes, but the NFC ones still hold value for certain people
      you can generally tell if a card is not factory cut by looking at the corners

    • @zombietoken69
      @zombietoken69 7 років тому +2

      confirm, this is NFC.

    • @squirrelstash9683
      @squirrelstash9683 7 років тому +2

      Replying to Edward Humanhands22 hours ago
      "ivebeen if the back and front are cut the same it's most likely NFC (not factory cut)"
      Please note that this is not correct. Factory miscuts are very very often cut the same front and back. The distinction is the corners (which even factory miscuts can be weird on, so this isn't a sure thing) combined with a knowledge of which sheets are regularly cut.
      Again: the front and back being miscut the same way is NOT a sign that something is NFC, and it's definitely NOT "most likely" NFC. However, if the front and back do NOT match, then it is almost certainly a factory error (there are exceptions, but you can assume this is the case for our purposes).

    • @Zemmip
      @Zemmip 7 років тому

      I've seen other cards from these exact same sheet cuts. They pop up occasionally on the Misprints and Oddities Facebook group but are always labeled as NFC. Very rarely do cards are get miscut so largely and so perfectly out of the factory like this. You can ebay search NFC cut cards and find ones like this from all sorts of sets.

    • @herbert164
      @herbert164 7 років тому +1

      it was just an estimate rather than specification. we all know the general price of the cards(pretty easy to find) and we could have guessed as much anyway.

    • @NicoSwagzawa
      @NicoSwagzawa 7 років тому +1

      There's a difference in the value of the cards and what he may have bought them for.

    The Elesh Norn may cost 0, but it also has no power and toughness, and all it does is give creatures you control +2. Not +2 power or toughness, just +2.
    Completely unplayable.

    I believe the elesh norn and mox opals are NFC's, which in the misprint community means not factory cut. Probably got a foil a sheet and custom cut it.

  • @dolphin082

    Hey Rudy!! Is there any way you can show us what we should see throught that magnifying glass? And most importantly what we shouldn't see in it. Like a nice comparison so timmy's at home and buy themselves a 20x magnifying glass and a shiny light and start telling fakes apart on our own. For my part im good with telling them apart by their texture and the gloss on the cards but i can't really do an extensive and clear breakdown of all the elements required to make sure i do not buy a fake and be 100% sure on my skills. And i also believe that could help a lot of viewers and also contribute to make a dent in those guys wallet that make them. That would be nice to educate us a bit more on that. Thanks man for all your videos and i love your channel.
    P.s. i would love to have my collection checked by you but im afraid of the cold hard truth. Lol.
    Have a good day. Talk to you soon.

  • @Beblue1337

    • @SolivagantCraig
      @SolivagantCraig 7 років тому +16

      Because they're over 20 years old and have been touched countless times. Him touching them a little more isn't going to hurt anything.

    • @FlourescentPotato

    • @Morgormir
      @Morgormir 7 років тому +1

      Minister HaxAras Royal Exactly. Think Baseball cards, magic cards are along the same lines but with a bit less value. Given though that the magic playerbase has gone up year after year, demand won't be decreasing anytime soon.

I'm becoming more interested in Vintage, and once I stabilize and save up enough funds I plan to start in mtgo since it's cheaper and more popular there, but I do plan to eventually build a Vintage Hurkyl's Recall/Paradoxical Outcome Storm deck. Also I think it would be bad ass to add those to my collection

    I am writing this comment from beyond the grave. I know, I'm as surprised as you you are, maybe even more so. I was doing fine, until Rudy dropped that camera, and then, everything went all dizzy and blurry, and since it had been at least three days since my last bender, I was like at least 97% certain that this wasn't the drugs. Again. Anyway, I was at first upset that I wouldn't be able to watch any more of Rudy's videos, but it seems that somehow I am still able to interact with UA-cam and the internet at large. Something to do with all the cloud stuff I guess? There is one down side though; no tacos of any sort, floppy or not. So, Rudy, for the sake of other viewers, please treat your camera with the same love and care that you do for your Clefairies. Thank you for your videos, and thank you for your time!.
