The only cards that truly ignite my love and passion for the hobby are the cool Costum cards people always send me, some of them are even better than the original, take the Neon collection, the colors are just so well done and truly capture the vintageness.
Then you have the luxury cards that just look premium all around, highly coveted old english font with that extremely poshy gold trim… on a black card??? Everyone knows black is the coolest color so at this point it isn’t even debateable. Honestly makes you wonder why WotC couldn’t see this truth themselves… mindblowing.
Look at how phenomenal these 2 babies are compared to the pop 5 stars
Clearly people who buy the pop5 cards are getting RIPPED OFF with the vastly inferior beauty nowhere near the levels of an insanely well made Costum.
I’m pretty sure they 3M sprayed a printable transparency sheet to a holographic card that was stripped with acetone. SUCH CRAFTSMANSHIP Nothing screams quality like ink jet and 3M.
I mean, when the alternative is both cheaper AND better looking than the original, how can you say no? I’m really surprised these haven’t caught on yet in the serious collecting sphere. They’re spectacular!
