Promo and Box Set Cards

Thanks to Teppic for the zombie token and dragsamou (plus unnamed benefactor) for Atarka.

It's very confusing knowing where to find PRM cards since there isn't a PRM set and many of them there is no indication where they're from (finally found the Atarka under pINS). Couldn't we rename that folder PRM to match the PRM short code in the OCR area? That way it would be easy to find where a card should be found just by looking at the OCR area? Especially since the Mega search only covers folder names and not file names (unless I'm missing something).

Also, couldn't Torrent Extras be put with their proper sets ISD and CSP?

The promo section is pretty poorly organized, it's true; I started adding stuff in there with the first promos I processed and everything else has kind of accreted from there. In part the issue is type of organization; we're doing "set" promos grouped together there, whereas in the Promo Torrent I separate them by "series," so it's not a trivial translation; but it's also just a question of not having put a ton of effort into organization. I'm open to moving stuff around, I just haven't really had the time or bandwidth to figure out how best to organize it and then actually do so.

The "Torrent Extras" stuff was literally just providing some pre-existing stuff for someone else to use when they were going to recreate the main sets torrent; it's all redundant (and already correctly sorted in the current sets and promos torrents.)

I'll PM you and we can start a thread for organization discussion. I'm happy to help with the organization as I've had to solve similar problems with my database which not only has this issue for promos, but also encompasses tokens and magnets in all the different languages.

What's the story with the EMN zombie tokens? Are these promos? They have the same art as regular tokens.

It's a double-sided, foil token with two different zombies on the faces.

They were an additional prerelease promo. The prerelease promo packet has the foil stamped EMN mythic/rare card and the foil double-sided zombie token.

Thanks to dragsamou (plus unnamed benefactor) for Atarka.

My pleasure. Outland Colossus will be the next one anytime soon (I should have sent it with the Atarka but my E-mail box was full)

Hi Charlequin

Foil Alternate Lands MPS Logo Scars of Mirrodin Cycle raw scans available in my Dropbox and Outland Colossus Resale Promos (Not raw scan unfortunately). Will check what else I have for you.

[charlequin]

Awesome, I'll get to those soon. One quick request: if possible, it's easier for us if you provide scans as JPGs rather than PNGs.

[skibulk]

Well, usually. Some scanners have a crappy compression algorithm and their JPGs are always bad. But for most quality scanners, JPG works just as well as PNG and they use less bandwidth. Dragsamou's CanoScan 9000F Mark II is a good scanner, so JPGs are preferable.

[charlequin]

dragsamou, was there supposed to be a larger Outland Colossus? The one I saw in there is tiny.

Librarities has the full list of series 1-4, the only physically released Vanguard carsd: http://www.magiclibrarities.net/291-rar ... index.html Anything else was MTGO only.

Updated the Needed Scans list with the latest FNM promo, updated EXP, and removed Vanguard cards.
