Chinese Print Companies are producing very good and cheap MTG "proxies".

see: http://imgur.com/a/hLuw2
and: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/1532829955/wholesale_best_mtg_cards_for_collection.html

This thread is for discussion of Chinese Proxies, their effects on mtg, and etc.
>>
>>29368386

How the fuck do you buy from those chinese buyers anyway? They never answer. Fuck.

THIS THREAD SUCKS MONKEY BALLS. BACK TO THE OLD ONE
>>

Why it hasn't even started.

I just have three questions:

How do I buy this?

How much will it cost me?

Will the order get taken by the feds?

How buy? Idk man it's fucked up.
Costs depends..

for old thread

anyway, I'm sure the guy is swamped, and hasn't responded to my message yet but the sales guy from

http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/1532829955/wholesale_best_mtg_cards_for_collection.html

is online now, if anyone can figure out his actual prices / shipping / cards etc.
>>
>>29376178
> their effects on mtg,
Will probably hurt business but improve competitive play by opening up build possibilities with cheap cards.

Explains how to make a pack for more or less 15 euros. I ordered mine today, but for the Alibaba site shit's on fire yo.

Did the guy who was going to buy a bunch of Jaces ever have success?
>>
Just to get this in early:

Wizards doesn't sell individual cards. Ever. So, the fact that you're paying out the ass for a fetchland, isn't the direct fault of Wizards.

However, buying fraudulent cards lowers the demand of cards through Wizards, since the secondary market will sell fewer and fewer cards.

>>29376280
It's me, contacting them yet.
>>
>>29376266
This.
So many versions of cards with stronger variants.
Banning them in all formats would bring the cost down, which hurts wizards so they won't do it. Reprinting them would also lower value, so they won't do it.

Now that they're reachable, Wizards will throw a shitfit, but I'll finally get my hands on some decent cards without paying out the ass.
>>
>>29376328
Yeah, now explain to me how to purchase it. Thank you in advance.

The way I see it is that if Wizards won't reprint the original dual lands then they really aren't losing out on anything. The players who invest in them are, but losing is part of the investment.

This is what I really want to know. That and how to find the prices.

>>29376237
1st Edition had some problems. 2nd Edition promises to change all of that.

Also, everyone keep in mind this has been happening for ages. You can use something like Game Crafter to print out stuff.

Now in contact with the main seller.

>So, the fact that you're paying out the ass for a fetchland, isn't the direct fault of Wizards.
No, they created the game and make it more or less fun (which determines demand) and they print the cards (which determines supply). Supply and demand set the prices, so WotC are in TOTAL control of secondary market prices.

If you don't believe me, two scenarios: WotC prints a Tarmogoyf and JtMS in every booster of M15. What happens to the secondary market value of those two cards?

Second scenario: WotC prints Umezawa's Jitte as a mythic rare in M15. What happens to the secondary market price of Jittes?

Extreme examples, but they show how absurd it is to claim it's not the fault of Wizards.

Yes, yes, "isn't the direct fault". Except that's meaningless bullshit. It's entirely under their control. You might as well say it's the fault of the individual secondary trader or the factory Wizards prints at. All they're doing is responding to the demands of Wizards and the market it controls.

The only way how much cards cost on the secondary market can NOT be the fault of Wizards is if someone other than Wizards starts making cards.

ONLY when Chinese cards fill the market will the price of fetches NOT be Wizards' fault.

News from Aibaba

500$ (1000 Cards) is the smallest possible transaction. 2bucks a pop.
>>
>>29376720
I wonder how well these people understand english...

Captcha: since equalfy
>>
500/1000 = 0.5c a card...

my mistake.

0.5c a pop
>>
>>29376950
why is the minimum 1000?
>>
>>29376834
>>29376840
This. sure there is doubtlessly going to be new cards that are worth money, but almost all the $100+ stuff is old and most of that is on the reserved list. the new hologram won't stop them, and even if it did you can bet it won't stop them for long.

also wondering about a point brought up last night - do we know for sure that a blacklight can spot these fakes?

I want to buy this
how much do I have to pay for the smallest order delivered to my house.

ME (20:45:47):
I can wait for an answer...

HIM (20:46:08):
$500 for 1000 cards
that is the smallest amount


ME (20:46:44):
that's 2$ a card.
I see....

HIM (20:47:24):
$0.5/card
you made mistake


ME (20:47:36):

hey no

ME (20:53:15):
My colleague would like to know how many copies there is of the same card
in the transaction of which we speak.

ME (20:54:25):
What I meant is :
How many copies of ''Jace, the mind sculptor'' there is in this set, furthermore, how many different cards is there? Also, is it completely random or do you print in a certain pattern?
>>
>>29377031
75 cards per deck
75 x .5 = 37.5
add in shipping and I'd be willing to buy that
forcing one to buy 500$ worth of cards is really discouraging though

FRIENDS I HAVE OBTAINED THE LIST!

Fucking duals man, you need them for everything, they are basically a necessity for the game as much as basic lands are if you want to play two or three colors, and yet do nothing by themselves. Why are the good ones always rare when everyone will need them? Are 3 good dual uncommons going ruin limited? Don't fucking think so.

These companies are just places with access to 4 colour industrial printers and the correct stock grade of cardboard. I managed to create a cube at my uni after contacting Cartamundi and buying a sample of the cardstock, the rest is just getting hold of high enough res (or being arsed to create vectors of) images of the cards you want printed and then praying for death as you cut and trim the cards to make them look legit.

If you scouted around printshops near you and searched for 310/330 gsm Germany black core paper suppliers in your country you could very well print out a playset of exactly what you need for less than the $500 minimum order they're asking.
>>
Have we discussed the most important part yet:
Do they smell like real MtG cards?
>>
>>29377330
CMYK printing on the correct card stock sure does brother.
>>
>>29377330
Do actual Magic cards even have a smell past five minutes after opening them? I'll admit, the only boosters I tend to open are those at least a year old after the smell's gone soft, but still, my Polukranos doesn't particularly stand out as fragrant.

EVERYONE.


I would like everyone to send me a letter with his own offer.

Let us work it down to this.

100$ for 4 copies of each cards presented in the word document and I will send him this to get pressure on him.
>>
I'm starting to wonder if these fakes have already shown up in my LGS. One guy there talks a lot about how he "knows a guy" in the printing business whenever people talk about alters, cube proxies, or similar.
>>
>>29378720
idk, assuming these are the quality of NC it's still pretty good for what you get, 4x every eternal land, 4x goyf etc. Makes a lot of decks pretty affordable and cheap to build.
>>
>>29378810
What?
>>
>>29378810
Both I and at least 3 Friends would be down, But going through a third party that is some random guy on 4chan is a little sketchy.
>>
This whole situation made me (and a lot of others it seems) consider getting into making a powerful cube.
Which raises the question - if it's just for playing a casual format with friends, why do you even need perfect fakes? Hell, as long as it fits a sleeve and is made of cardboard, I would prefer some custom full art for many of the classic cards.
>>
>>29378935
I will give you his information as soon as I get what I want, which is this:

Write to me a letter that goes like this:

Hello, I am interested in buying 4x copies of each card in the word document you offer for 100$ best regards blabla

Fourchan_mtg_trade@hotmail.com

And I will send it to him, so we cna all get better results, + we still have to wait 10 days so what's up with that. Read the thread, I already posted our log.

at 200 it's .625 cents per card. at 100 its .3125 cents per card. You can probably get him down to around 50 to 40 cents a card easy. Which was around what it was with the 500 for 1000. If we can't get him down to 100.

They're also using the wrong fonts. That's not Matrix Bold in the artist's name & Plantin in the text box, that's something else.

Stolen from the autists over at mtgsalvation someone look up those fonts.

theoretically there are "real" fakes out there that pass as authentic

I'd assume at least, but it's probably a completely closed operation.

These appear to be guys with the supply / print shop to make them but no way to distribute properly like a front shop or group of ebay sellers so they just sell in bulk to anyone, hence the quality is a bit lower since they don't actually care about being perfect, just good enough.
