Title: Question on nicol bolas rarity
Post by: Greg54js on April 07, 2012, 08:28:00 PM
Ok so I was looking for a {nicol bolas} today at my lgs in their rare binder. I get into a conversation with the owner about the commander deck I'm building and that I need bolas. He says that bolas wouldn't be in his rare binder but to check the multicolored common box because bolas was printed as a common. So my question is was he printed at a rare or common? I know in this app he is listed as a rare

It is probably because they didn't start all that gold label rare stuff untill after he was printed. Not sure though.

Can you have both nicol bolas's on the field at the same time?

It probably because reprinted in cronicals, and in a couple other sets I think.  I have a legends copy on my trade list.........FYI.

He's rare in all printings except Timeshifted. If you find an old one in a common pile, it's worth a couple bucks depending on the set. I'd get it if I were you.

We couldn't find it so now where's the best place to get the non rare version of bolas?

My trade binder would be the best place to find him.

Like I was saying, the only "non-rare" version is the Special printing from time spiral. And even that is pretty rare. And by that I mean infrequent.

Just realized that I don't have him in my trade binder yet!  Duh!  Lol.  I think I have a cronicals version though.
