When we went to Zaragoza, behind Dan Frazier desk there was this playmat being showed. The organization of the tournament had the rights over that playmat but in the end they thought it would be better to sell it to recover some of the cash they lost during that weekend. My friends Filippo and Angelo, managed to buy the playmat together. This is probably one of the nicest playmats (made by mtg artists) i’ve ever seen:

Douglas Shuler + Dan Frazier + Christopher Rush

AWESOME!

This is the story on How I met Dan Frazier, yesterday in Zaragoza (Where? Yes, Zaragoza). If you aren’t familiar with Dan Frazier, let me tell you that he’s the artist that drew the first Moxen. Well, he’s actually drawn lot more cards, including the 12% of the initial Alpha collection. You can check the full list of his artwork for WotC here and his website here.

So, everything started back in this year’s GP Madrid when we saw Jose “El Cubano” giving some fliers away. In those fliers it said something about a couple of tournaments and, surprisingly, that Dan Frazier was the guest artist at the event.

Arnau, Roger, Edu and I started to organize the trip to Zaragoza, and early in the morning our pimp ride started!

This was some of our stuff to be signed before we actually met Dan:

(Sorry for the bad quality of the picture)

It was really needed an Alpha/Beta P9 in order to get to travel with Arnau’s Mercedes

Anyways, once we arrived at Freakland Games in Zaragoza we discovered that Albert & Pedro and Paco and his girlfriend were faster than us, so we weren’t actually the first ones at the queue But that wasn’t the issue, as we had plenty of time to talk with Dan as there wasn’t that many people there in the end.

When Dan realized of Roger’s presence at the queue, his wife Cathy gave Roger a folder and when he opened it we were all impressed to find out that Dan Frazier had drawn a portrait of Roger wearing the harlequin hat from Jester’s Cap. Meet the IMPRESSIVE Roger’s Cap!

I can’t wait to see a full-res scan of the drawing!

This is my personal goodie bag for the day:

Let’s havea a closer look at everything

While in Freakland we played some Vintage games, enjoyed the awesome environment and had fun, lots of fun!

Around 18:45 we decided to go back to Barcelona because we still had something very important to do: Watch the FC Barcelona vs Real Madrid game of the millenium! If you are a soccer fan, then I’m sure you know that the spanish soccer league is incredibly crazy right now. I just have a picture to illustrate how the game went:

I’ll remember this day my whole life, for being the day I met Dan Frazier, having an excellent day with my friends, and Barça winning 0-2 against Real Madrid. Hope you guys liked the report.

Thanks for reading!

No estamos precisamente en el mejor momento para el coleccionismo. Con una crisis global tan acentuada parece difícil entender porqué alguien querría invertir miles y miles de euros en cromos. Algunos coleccionistas se ven forzados a vender por la necesidad de liquidez, mientras otros prefieren invertir aprovechando este momento de debilidad del mercado.

A continuación os pongo un par de ejemplos bastante curiosos y bien raros de lo que uno puede llegar a coleccionar con esto del Magic.

Si queréis saber más sobre esta u otras cartas únicas en el mundo relacionadas con Richard Garfield, podéis hacerlo visitando el siguiente link: Richard Garfield Event Cards

Poco hay que contar de esta colección. Nada más y nada menos que la primera edición del juego (Alpha) en un estado NM/M (Near Mint/Mint) y toda certificada por la PSA.

El original de este Mox Pearl dibujado por Dan Frazier lleva ya un tiempo rondando los foros e eBay. Su precio siempre fue muy elevado y nunca había la opción de puja. Ahora por fin, el vendedor ha permitido esa opción con lo que seguramente se venda por un precio más económico (aunque seguirá siendo estratosférico).

Un servidor también se vio forzado a vender parte de su colección para poder superar el bache. Un consejo que os doy a todos: Si tenéis trabajo, luchar para conservarlo.
