I love these little pieces of history. I find them so interesting, and if I could collect some of them and be able to show and tell their stories to friends and family I think it would make magic that much MORE special you know! Thanks for the info and sharing your cards with us man! Keep up the great work! That blue hurricane man. I don’t know why, but I just think it’s so cool.

There is a rumor/piece of folklore that one of the original owners of Troll and Toad was in London when this stuff came out and he got as much as he could (since he immediately knew the significance) and that's how they got it. He was in the right place at the right time. No idea if this is true or not, but that was the word I heard back in September-ish 1994.

@DualBrainMTG2 жыл бұрын
The revised shortage was caused by summer edition. It was supposed to be the ‘fixed’ revised and also fill demand for it… Imagine they mass produced this and there was 2X or more revised…? Would duals be as expensive as they are now???

Summer is such a weird subset. I believe that there are no more than 150-200 of every card that has survived and only 5-6 complete sets out there. I know Daniel Chang of VintageMTG used to have one and there is a collector in the US who has a full 9-9.5 set. If you want to know more about it either Tavis King or Daniel Chang are the true experts. From an investment perspective certainly here in Europe most serious collectors won't touch it as it's very hard to sell easily and pricing is almost impossible. Plus to be blunt no data on print sizes are available that I've seen and it's always been rumoured that some people may have lots more than is in the open market.
