Digging in my basement I found a box containing a portion of my old SoTM collection. It contains a couple of expansions (Shattered Timelines and Oblivaeon)…and more importantly a bunch of the Kickstarter promo cards (Ra, Horus of Two Horizons Promo Card and similar ones). I would have to do a full check, but I think it has every single promo ever printed.
At the time they were very rare and sought for… but since they did a hero variant collection. There is no gameplay difference, but art is distinct.
Is there a market for those promos? How much do you think they would go for?
Which makes the ebay price jacking even more contemptible.
What I wonder most about isn’t the old promos like RC Wraith, it’s the ones that postdate the release of the two variant collections, such as hero Infinitor and Omnitron-U. I know that Adam made an art for the “normal” versions of these, but I have no idea if they were ever even printed, let alone distributed. The first time I saw them announce OU, it was with the art that his* promo version uses, where he’s standing in the kind of hunched position and looking right; the only time I’ve ever seen the art with him staying straight and turning his head was in the video game.
I know that O-X prefers the pronoun “it”, but using this is a recipe for unintelligible sentences at the best of times, and we’re discussing a piece of card art here, so referring to the picture as “it” and the character as “him” makes for better clarity.
