Collectible Card Game Headquarters

XLHQ is better.

XLHQ is the future for slightlymagic.net, wide screens plasma/lcd and HD tv's are perfect for this new part of the proyect, quality is amazing and we can enjoy even more the art of the cards.

and yeah Alpha and Beta with full borders!

I Totally agree. I love the full borders too!, but Huggy, Extreme and all collaborators need decide what is better.

Is it too much to ask for both? After saving them with borders isn't it theorically possible to batch crop them and save them again in a second?
I just so much love those borders

Full border? Nice idea, I like it. I'm producing such scans for MagicLibrarities already for a long time. But they are far from being perfect. In MagicLibrarities my scans have wrong size, wrong border colors, wrong corners and wrong border width.

To have perfect full borders, there will be huge problems. As we know, there are a lot of different borders. Different width of border, about 10 different colors: white, yellowisch, black (about 5 'different' black but not really black), gray, silver, gold. A lot of different corners: Square, about five different round corners including Alpha. We have to measure a lot of cards from different sets. Ralph Herold and I started this project last year, we have some results but it was never finished.

One black and one white border for all cards I don't like. When we have already good scans of the cards, we should have the correct borders (and card sizes) too.
So we must define a border and the size for every set and also for some single older promo cards. A lot to do...
When we should do such things, we should do this perfect.

When I have time, eventually I will publish some examples of the suggested exactly full border scans.

Now we all see, the plot is even thicker than originally envisioned.

The HQ torrent will proceed as planned.

I see no reason not to have an XLHQ torrent when possible, even though I have reservations. I'm curious to see if an XLHQ torrent will draw more seeders than the Not English torrent did---that one was a failure.

this rocks

I'm unstickifying this topic. We'll have XLHQ's when possible, I don't know when that will be. Thanks everyone for voting!

That particular image is very grainy for me at 1280x1024.


I like to see super hirez, super high quality crops and support for varied and higher quality in-game themes. (Including a Timeshifted theme!)

Could you make a XLHQ of the back side of the cards please and put it in here??

i'd love to see a XLHQ version with full-border cards of every set!

It'd be simply awesome!

Have any chance to do Return to Ravnica in XLHQ?

You should see those XLHQ images on new MacBook with retina display
They look amazing. And only twice the size of the real physical card

These are awesome! I never got these before mediafire went down. Can somebody re-upload them please?

I definitely support this, awesome work.
