thanks for giving me a look at what I'm going to buy on Friday, I've never bought mtg cardsbefore so I'm excited to get this bundle and one of the commander decks!
how you like the sandpaper texture of the bundle cards lol. I'm very bothered with that! After comparing bundle repeats with booster box the cards are night and day this bundle cards are really low quality in my opinion and don't even match in colors, the back of the bundle cards stand out and so do the faces. I noticed on the bundle box saying made in China which explains a lot
So the packaging for the booster packs was made in China. The booster packs were either printed in Japan or USA. The packs I opened were printed in the USA. I double checked with a second bundle. The “textured” sand paper cards are usually signs they are printed in the US. The high gloss variants are usually from Japan. You can find either the Japanese printed or US printed products in booster boxes. It’s hit or miss. Depends on when it was ordered. Most of the Japanese printed product is distributed during the pre-release or release period. Vast majority of what you find shipped after is printed in the US. Most older sets were printed in the US. The older players will notice the wear characteristics of the cards when we played with them before sleeves became popular. Speaking from someone that was in the printing business, the sandpaper texture could come from several factors. The biggest would be the materials, since Magic is printed in only one format (large 4 color press). It could also come from the age of the equipment, the volume printed, the humidity in which the ink was set, etc… most likely the Japanese cards are printed on better materials, but I can’t guarantee that without seeing the whole setup. Wizards is known to use several print companies each release. I hope this information helps! Probably TMI, but I rather share than not. Thanks for watching!
