Not worth 50. Not even worth 20. Sorry man.

254 pieces of paper you printed out. I can't see trading legal/playable cards for these. Just not worth.
This all day. Trading for proxies is just so dumb.

Im not normally this directly combative but I can go to the local library and print 254 of these (9 per page) 29 pages in full color at .11 cents per sheet and pay $3.19 total
Sure, I have to cut them out myself and then put a land behind them but come on?


I can understand if you want to get rid of them but when asking who wants them consider the TRUE price of what you are offering in comparison of what It takes to DIY...

I agree with what you have to say,but time is money. Yes you can do it but how much time will it take? Personally I wouldn't buy this, but if someone else does its their own choice. I would guess he's not firm on the $50. If two people can come to terms where they are both happy God for them.

The images and ran them through photoshop and printed out on a high quality printer and not one from the library. It took hours just to edit the photos yet alone print these out. Truthfully asking 50 in trade was low. The quality of work and time put into them cost a lot more.

We're not being dicks because of anything but the fact that he's wanting 50 bucks in trade value for pieces of paper. Anyone could do this. Cardstock would be a different story. To print on cardstock takes precision and effort. This... just, I dont see the worth. 254 or 20,054, I just don't see it for paper.

By all means, if he can get the 50 bucks from someone willing to pay that, more power to him, but me and countless others don't see the point of paper proxies such as these. Good job on making them, but in my opinion, if you're wanting to make proxies work and have them sell, make them actually playable or collectable.

Look at it this way IB, if someone else posted this, would you trade 50 bucks of your actual cards, playable, sellable cards for pieces of paper that are delicate to handle? What if everyone didn't play in sleeves? As of current, the lands that you put behind the paper proxies would be worth more than the pieces of paper in front of them.

Anyways, I've said my piece. Good luck to you, sir.

Just use this instead of photoshop. Color, all cards, correct size.
