In a lot of cases a signature does not change the value of a card.  Some artists are difficult to contact or generally don't sign cards, and those cards will get a large premium (e.g. Una Fricker or Gary Leach).  Some people don't like signed cards and will say that it damages the card.  Fine, don't deal with those people.  There are enough people that like signed cards that you can get at least full value out of any signed card, and possibly a premium.

Summer edition was never officially released.  The product was supposed to be destroyed, but a very limited quantity was released in the UK and Texas.  You can identify Summer cards by seeing "Illus. c. 1994 <artist>" all on one line at the bottom of the card.  This was supposed to be a fixed version of Revised, but it had enough errors of its own that it was never released.  It is pretty much not worth checking to see if you have Summer cards.  You won't have any.

Alt. 4th was produced as an attempt to use a new printer, the US Playing Card Company, due to Carta Mundi not being able to keep up with demand for Magic.  Eventually this need was eliminated when Carta Mundi opened up a new plant in Tennessee.  There were several issues with the cards.  The feel of the cards was different due to a different coating, the cards showed wear much more quickly due to use, and there are subtle differences with the back of the card.    You can see some discussion of the differences here:

Look for the post by AzureWinter toward the bottom of the page for a helpful image.

Thanks!  Everything loads now.

It seems like you have too much land without a way to spend the extra mana on late turns of a game.  I'm also not entirely sold on the green aspect of the deck.

I would cut Slitterhead for three more Pulse Trackers and a Blood Seeker.  Radha seems out of place, but I don't know exactly what to replace her with.  I would cut Jarad's Orders for the two extra Grisly Salvage as the instant speed and lower mana cost should help you find your creatures that you're looking for.  I would look for a couple more cheap vampires for the extra slots that are still open as your mana curve seems a bit lacking on the low end.  It may be worth cutting a Mark of the Vampire or two as you probably don't need to cast more than one during a game.

Thanks for the update.  I can enter my account and see that it exists, but I still only ever get my wishlist and trade list updated.  I get a connection error after about a minute or two.  Any idea why my inventory won't load?

I'm running Firefox and when I try to load favicon.ico I get an error:

The image "http://deckbox.org/favicon.ico" cannot be displayed because it contains errors.

Hmmm..... It displays OK in Opera.  I'll try restarting Firefox and see if that fixes it.  It's probably just cached oddly.

Thanks for your quick response.  I hate seeing empty boxes on my bookmarks bar.

Assuming that you play either casual formats or Legacy, I would look at picking up any playables from the Scars of Mirrodin block that you're missing and that you like to play.  This is probably the low point price-wise for cards like Green Sun's Zenith, Sword of Body and Mind, Surgical Extraction and others from this block (though maybe not yet for Sword of War and Peace).

I've been having problems downloading my inventory to the app.  How do I tell if I'm running into the same server-side error as the people above?

All of the other five promo planes are listed, so I guess I should contact WotC and see if I can get Tember City listed in Gatherer.  Thanks for the explanation.
