Description

The listing, Alternate 4th Edition Pestilience has ended.

Alternate Fourth Edition is a parallel print run of the standard Fourth Edition set. They were printed in 1995 by the Cincinnatti, Ohio-based United States Playing Card Corporation and marked Wizards of the Coast's first attempt to print Magic: the Gathering within the United States. Due to a dispute between the two companies, the cards were never officially released and were supposed to have been destroyed. However, a limited quantity of Alternate Fourth Edition starter displays are believed to have survived.

Alternate Fourth Edition cards look very similar to standard Magic cards, but a closer inspection reveals obvious differences. Their card stock is thicker, their backs feature a glossy finish, and their colors do not show the usual pattern of dots characteristic of Magic: the Gathering cards. Furthermore, they have a special coating which causes the cards to stay dark under ultraviolet light (also known as "black" light), in contrast to standard Magic cards which start to glow when held under similar lighting.

This looks like a stock image, can we get a picture of the actual alternate edition card with a piece of paper that says your username on it? The image shown is a $0.13 card.

On top of which you plagiarized verbatim Star City Games website description. Inkdnerd is correct, you should not have used the Star City Games image, the real alternate image can be seen at: http://sales.starcitygames.com/cardsearch.php?game_type=1&singlesearch=Pestilence How about you take a picture of the REAL card as Jared suggests, otherwise, we have to conclude you either do not know what you have, or worse.

My bad, once again, that was the third edition.... Further research reflects that the card is hard to tell the difference. See: http://www.coolstuffinc.com/main_magicResults.php?s41=225&s40=25&scs_92141=1

Apparently the only real way you could show us the real card is to compare a normal 4th edition back to the alternate. The normal has the blue color in Magic as fading, which is still used. The Alternate is a solid deeper blue color.
