Haven't shared anything since... *checks*... wow, 2016 apparently. Time flies.
Anyway, since I now own a scanner I went to the trouble of scanning all the cards I altered through the years (well, those I still cube with at least) and uploaded them to CubeCobra. Feel free to have a look! There's 220 of them in the cube right now (6 of which double-sided). 2020 was the suckiest year ever but it was a good one for altering magic cards
including an old seesic (predates the actual alias seesic, I believe)
It is. It's a piece from when Michael Noel was still painting under the Masamune handle. Glad that Tinker stayed in the cube family. It's a historically famous piece in the altered art community. Been floating around from one cube/EDH collection to another over the years.
Or, grade it and trade it for an A/B Balance w/ some ...experience... and another great A/B cube card.
With the centering issue, it'll likely grade at an 8.5 or 9.0 (it's gem mint otherwise) and it'll fetch some bucks. Best condition non-graded Beta Balance I've ever seen.
I'm almost worried about authenticity when cards are that gem. But with the 60/40 <-> centering, it's authentic (and maybe also not worth grading). It's a gorgeous piece. Double-sleeve it and play it. That Balance was destined to win games, not rot in a plastic case.
It's a work of art my friend. You should be proud!
