Haha, wow. I'm more surprised that you bought a Blue Pack in the first place... ;)

Sounds fishy.  Faithful Servant non-promo, sure, but the promo wasn't printed until long after the blues were sealed.  Unless someone tampered with it, which removes the confusion.  And makes me and to be friends with someone.

Not if you write 'Promo' after Faithful Servant

thats just not feasible in any possible way.
Title: Re: WOW

Or is it?
Title: Re: WOW
Post by: TheKarazyvicePresidentRR on January 02, 2009, 01:15:37 AM
It isn't feasable. But it IS doable. All you need is a good source of heat, a small ammount of hot glue would work

haha that would be so hilarious if i saw someone crack a fsp in draft from a blue...:D

Also, you need to be crazy enough that you would give up a FSP for no reason at all! :P

Hey,

I suspect a time machine was involved. It's the only thing I can come up with to explain how a card printed in 2007 made it's way into a pack that was sealed in 1995.  But given the assumption of a time machine it all makes perfect sense.

Tschow,

I think the assumption that all Blue booster packs were sealed in 1995 may be an incorrect one. I've heard from a reliable source that Rob has many, many loose cards from various sets in the Cactus warehouse. If that's the case, then I would guess he also has extra pack wrappers that were never used and could therefore be used to make a "brand new" sealed pack.

However, all this being said, here's some things that really make this sound suspicious:

1. JSB rarely opens Blue packs unless he's playing Booster. I open Blue packs on occasion (like after buying a tin) since I already have plenty to sell and use for Booster at my tournaments, but it's still very seldom, and I'm guessing the same is true with JSB.

2. JSB only opened ONE blue pack and it happened to be the ONE blue pack with a FSP.

3. David Easterling is the one who actually possesses the Faithful Servant Promos, not Rob Anderson, I believe. I'm sure Rob has some as part of the deal that was made between Cactus and World Vision, but I doubt Rob has piles and piles of them.

JSB came to the tournament this past weekend with this story and never let on that he was joking in any way or that it was a set-up. Maybe I'll have to have a talk with Wild Bill. Until then, I'm just gonna be opening a few more blue packs I guess...

so, tell, me, why do you accuse yourself of doing the crime? shouldn't you know if you did it? and wouldn't you know where and with what that you did it with?

It's definatly been planted by aliens, who are trying to buy our allegience.

The left over card part is indeed true I have no clue about the extra wrappers though...
