Hey, so the OCD in me regarding collecting 'complete' MtG sets demaded that I track down foil versions of each number on Tamiyo's Journal.
So far, the only numbers I've seen in the flavor text of pack foil Tamiyo's Journal cards have been 653 and 855. I have traded or looked at probably over a dozen of the foils now and I have yet to see any of the other numbers. I've seen other numbers on the non-foil and Prerelease versions, but not the pack foils. Am I just having bad luck, or do the pack foils only have the two numbers? My theory so far (since I've only seen two numbers in non-foil: 546 and 922) is that perhaps there are two numbers in foil, two in non-foil, and two in the Prerelease?
Yeah, the different languages have different numbers I'm pretty sure. There should be six different numbers in the English versions though. I've got four of them, two foil and two non-foil. I just haven't seen the other two numbers. I have traded online for 6 of the pack foils so far, and I've seen a half dozen or so images of other pack foils online, but so far I've only seen the 653 and 855 numbers on them and all the non-foils I own so far have had only numbers 546 or 922. I'm just wondering if other people have seen different numbers in the pack foils since that's the set I'd like to complete.
Sorry for the late reply, I just now saw your reply.
So I'm not real sure. I haven't made any progress on the foils. I've traded/bought 14 foils so far and the only two numbers I have found on the non-promo versions are 653 and 855. I've only seen two of the prerelease promos so far and both have been 653. I have 5 of the non-foil versions and the only numbers on those are 546, 922 and 711.
Most frustrating is the lack of information about these. You are the only other person I've talked to who is looking for a set of all the numbers like myself. No one else seems to know much about numbers other than what I've seen so far. I would dearly love to know if I'm chasing nothing here as I'm almost to the point of not trading or buying more foil versions.
Yeah, I haven't run across anyone else who seems interested in this...just us crazy collectors I guess
One update: I actually tried contacting WoTC support to see if they could tell me if these existed in what versions. No luck. I was pretty much told that my best bet is to search online...very frustrating. Still no other numbers in foil or nonfoil versions that I have come across. I'm almost to the point of not trading/buying foils now. I think I have close to 20 of them.
Yeah, I was focused initially on set foil versions. I am looking into prerelease promos now. I have a few on the way so I will update this thread again once I have more information on those.
I would prefer to collect foil versions over nonfoil so those will be my last choice if I can't find all the numbers in prereleases.
So far I've got 6 prerelease versions in the mail since my last update. 5 of them have been number 653, with the other being 855. I am beginning to suspect that the other numbers might not exist in prerelease versions either. I'm also picking up some more non-foils to see if I can complete a set in those. I'll keep this thread updated when I find out more.
Also, if anyone has seen other numbers in the English foils or prerelease versions other than 653 and 855 please post photos here if you can...I'm starting to think that I'm chasing a mythical creature here trying to find the other numbers in those versions.

Dang it; I hadn't heard about this before but now you've gotten me hooked. I checked the version in my Legendary binder - 653. I'll have to start picking them up and see if I can add to your data points.

Three more prerelease versions acquired, all with 653 as the number. I have managed to find four numbers in non-foil, ironically the numbers 653 and 855 are the ones I don't have in non-foil.

Anyone else have any insight on this?

Wish I could be more help

I found a prerelease tamiyo with number 434
and there are also plenty of normal non foil ones with 434, a number you say you're missing

Edit: So, just so that it's listed somewhere, the six numbers are:
434
546
653
711
855
922
Right? And it's looking like 653 and 855 might be the only ones that exist in foil (in English)?
Im collecting this cards and i have some info to say (about cards in spanish version).
Give me 1 day to take pictures.
Regards.
