PresetM, The Scientist: Will you scan them for us?

i think these ones will be tricky to scan, they use a different foil system

These will be using a foil stock that's twice as reflective as normal, and then covered in a varnish. I can't begin to imagine the trouble these will give in scanning

PresetM, The Scientist: Will you scan them for us?

I have ordered three boxes and eventually I can buy a fourth one. Let us see what will happen...

May be, so we'll have to experiment a little. But I think, in the end we will have nice scans.

Maybe now we can use the polarized filter idea I have had for ages.
Has anyone ever scanned a card with a polorizing filter? Scan twice, rotating the film at right angles between scans, then compare.

PresetM scans better than I do, but I have ordered 1 set for my personal use, and I'll give it try if PresetM doesn't have his first.

yes, i did. There is no difference, and you can see it while rotating the filter and examining the reflection on the card. The LCD screen goes completely black seen through the polarizer, as well as other reflections - but polarizers are ineffective for reflections off metallic surfaces, as that light isn't polarized.

OK, thanks for the scoop and for trying too.

That's quick work on the masterbase. But the expansion code is DRB, not FTV. I suppose they did that in the event of future "From the Vault" releases.

DRB = Dragon Box?

It will be fixed when the HQ DRB pics or Shards of Alara is released.
