I don't remember where they came from. The buffer in my brain replaced that info with where my car keys are.

So far I know these scans aren't real Alpha scans. They were taken from Collector's (or International?) Edition and labled as 'Alpha'.

That's what I thought too, but they couldn't have been, since all of the Alpha-only errors are present: Cyclopean Tomb, Elvish Archers, Force of Nature, Orcish Artillery, Orcish Oriflamme, Phantasmal Forces, Red Elemental Blast, and Sedge Troll.PresetM wrote:So far I know these scans aren't real Alpha scans.

So it remains a mystery...

Is it possible to rescan the CE Alpha to get higher quality scans?

Check your image dimensions. If your Portal scans are less than 480x680, then you have the LQ ones.Heinous wrote:

The Shards of Alara (ALA) scans are listed in the Very Impressive Links list on page one of this thread, as are the beautiful Portal (PT, P2, and P3) scans. Use the Mediafire links.

Collector's Edition didn't use the Alpa print run. It used the Beta print run, which corrected all the Alpha errors and omissions. So HQ Alpha scans don't seem too likely.meep.o.matic wrote:Is it possible to rescan the CE Alpha to get higher quality scans?

Those are from Davide's Rapidshare upload and are a bit older. Try the ones from the individual links in the list.Heinous wrote:I downloaded ALL rapidshare links...

I wonder do you have scan for the ones below as well? I downloaded all the mediafile and ALL Rapidshare files but I just can't seem to have these? Some are missing from the download list but are listed in the MWS. Some are still in LQ... I just wanted to have all pic scans of Magic as a little project of mine... And If I have Completed ALL files in HQ, I'll upload them for everyone...

Hi Heinous,
In order to pick up the latest versions of all those sets, you'll need to check the Promotional Cards Pictures + MWS Masterbase thread.
You'll find the sets for:
CHP (no longer CHA), REW, JGC, FNM, GTW, ARE, JSS
PRE, REL
Alternate Art Lands which includes APL, EUL, GUR, MPS
PR which includes a range of other promos including PR (in itself), ARC, DLM, HHL, HPB, SUM, THG
Some of the box sets JVC, DRB, EVG, I2P, BR, MV and S2K
12 is only available in the main torrent.
BT8 can be picked up at http://www.mediafire.com/?ejlyuzbttwb
BTP can be picked up at http://www.mediafire.com/?51yghl9gx1h
OV can be picked up at http://www.mediafire.com/?fgmsd1goybw
SM can be picked up at http://www.mediafire.com/?f1htrdhxzxn but is a RAR file
For the tokens, pick up the latest from the Tokens for MWS thread. TKX are technically only the 10E tokens from those zips.
As for A, there are no HQ versions of them so the ones you've got from the first links will have to do.

We're still working on it as time permits. My computer blew up yesterday, but I have a backup machine, so we will continue.
