Topic: WTBB Marketing/Rules/Tips 'n Tricks cards

Every pack has one of the marketing/tip-n-tricks cards, or a token... I'm looking for those cards.

I'm making a super cube, and those cards work great in a sleeve with a paper-printed proxy of the card until I can get the real version (or in some cases,  ie. black lotus, play with cards i'll never get the chance to own.)

I'll pay $.05 each (via paypal), or $.07 in trades.

Looking for a lot, 300+

Re: WTBB Marketing/Rules/Tips 'n Tricks cards

I'm thinking about doing the same thing. This is offtopic but where/how is the best way to print it? I've heard you can get 10 on a page. Do you just print them at staples and cut them out and slide them in? Also, where is the best place to buy bulk sleeves for a cube?

I think I may have 300 or so, if you include tokens, at least. I'll count when I get home in 2-3 hours wink

Edit: I should add that I have a good amount of the other cards on your wishlist too, so maybe putting together a trade would make sense. A small USPS flat rate box might be the best option for shipping this anyhow, and you can get 500 cards into one of those, hehe...

Sort of addressing your question, http://www.yellosoft.us/proxymang/ is a helpful start. As to where to print, I can't really help. I have free personal printing at my work >_>

You can get bulk sleeves from there. I haven't purchased from them myself, so I can't vouch for them.

As for printing I made an HTML page that just loads on my computer, that I just list out the images pulled from deckbox (yay!), and printing them in landscape mode, gets me 8 to a sheet. Then it's good 'ole scissors and a few hours of time, cutting and stuffing them into sleeves.

Example:

<img class="card_image" width="223" height="310" align="left" src="http://deckbox.org/system/images/mtg/cards/241987.jpg"  />

You can find out the # of the card, by going to the 'spoiler' view on your selected deckbox-deck...

The marketing/tips cards give the sleeves the ridge-ness that is needed. With one of those cards in the sleeve with the printed card image you can't tell by look, or feel if it's real or a proxy.

Also note: Just make sure you don't get the Ultra-pro solid colors sleeves. They are transparent enough you can tell from the back if it's a proxy or not.

Awesome site... That'll save me a ton of time making my own HTML page... Thanks!

I've heard of that site too. I guess 800 KMC wouldn't be bad, assuming 360 cube + 150 Lands (30 each) gives you 290 extra sleeves. That's 4 decks + a set for drafts I guess.
