Title: EMA misprints??
Post by: Dstyle1 on June 13, 2016, 10:04:11 PM
So I opened my box from noble tonight, and a lot of the blue cards were super dark the looked like they were either artifacts or black cards. It seems they missed the final blue overlay color. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this?

Yeah, if you do post some photos put the misprints next to other blue cards for reference.

Maybe you'll get lucky and it's just that box and THEN even those "miss printed" cards will be worth some CRAZY 😱 amount AND THEN you can buy another box!! Fingers crossed man. 👍 😁

This is from a Reddit site but it's the same thing with mine

I guess it's all over with blue in commons...

I have a daze, brainstorm, and counter spell like this.

My question is how did llama get the cards to float in mid air like that 🤔

Have you guys seen fools that look like that?

I'm pretty certain these will be worth some money someday. Is it not worth saving them if I open up a few in a pack?

Ema has a considerably high number of crimps, miscuts, mis foils, darkenings and other oddities. Your thing isn't really worth anything, in fact I'd say like 115% normal value but never more.
Are you saying that not all of the foils look like matte crap? Because every single of one mine does.

My guess is that the factories that make supplemental and special products aren't as regulated as those which make the standard sets.

Makes sense, charge 500% more for a product with 1/5 the QA standards. Thanks wizards!

Realistically though... the cardboard stock of FTV sets are different, MMA, MM2 and EMA all seemed to be of a different texture than traditional magic cards as well. They appeared glossier in my eyes, the foils also look a bit "forced" in these set too. I just really think that supplemental products aren't held to the same standards because they're made in such small quantities. I've been keeping tabs, and EMA must have been made by like some outsourced company... the misprints are RIDICULOUS. A buddy back home just opened a pack that was miscut almost directly in half.

That's cool though. Good cards in a factory misprint or foil are $$$
