Stay up to date with current additions to my collection, Community Showcase Winners, random misprint related tangents, and any other worthwhile news in the misprints and rarities world!
Today marks 9 years since the official launch of MisprintedMTG.com! So that means it’s time for my yearly update. About a year ago I announced my intention to start interacting with the hobby less, which subsequently meant maintaining this website less frequently. I’ll still go in and occasionally update the NFC list here, or add a group of missing fillers to the Filler ID list there, but that’s…
If you are a regular within the misprint community, you probably frequent the multiple misprint groups on a regular basis. While scrolling through the posts you might see the occasional comment “informing” the poster that if they want to sell their item that they’ll do better if they post in group XYZ. You may even come across people who have posted items, but then, without a comment on their…
When I started the blog portion of this website I wanted to capture the experience of a collector throughout their journey in the world of misprints. I felt that this was something that was never really discussed and just reading about the experiences of someone else in the hobby would be valuable, or at the very least entertaining. I started collecting misprints around 2010. Facebook existed, but…
I have a difficult time comprehending that this website is now 7 years old. It’s been a labor of love that I’ve had the pleasure of working on at my leisure. It’s crazy that no matter how much I add and edit, I can always find new things that need to be said or ways that I can improve the already written information. Thank you for sticking with me all these years and for all of your support! As is…
I was talking with a really good friend of mine (and legendary collector/amazing person) the other day and he asked me if anything had happened to the #Misprint Group. He was unable to find it and he’s not active anymore so he doesn’t pay it much mind. I linked it and he said he couldn’t see it. He then wondered why he had been blocked. We chatted for a little while before he said “Oh, I wonder if…
This is the greatest thing to happen in MTG ever!
My binder and the pages in it are the medium in which I curate and display my collection. Most misprint collectors focus on their misprint decks and usually focus on functional and gameplay based upgrades that are misprints (I’m not saying that aesthetics & quality are outside the deck building focus but it’s usually not the primary driver). For deck builders it’s a little more difficult to…
I used to have an about section on this website, but I ended up taking it down because I didn’t think it was necessary and felt it cluttered up the site a little bit. However, over the years, I’ve seen several cases of mistaken identity when it comes to identifying the author of this website. I’ve even gotten emails through my contact me page directed at other specific individuals. So, let’s set…
I thought that it might be fun to jump into the wayback machine and look at the humble beginnings of this website. The earliest version of this website was a blog on tumbler titled “Misprinted” where I shared various pieces of my collection as I acquired them. That blog was started 11 years ago! That’s three years prior to me joining the misprint group on Facebook. Back then I was acquiring my…
Wow, another year has passed and what a year it’s been! Today marks our 6th birthday, which means we belong in the 1st grade…lol. Here’s a brief overview of what’s happened during the past year and some of the website statistics! Approximately 218,000 users have visited MisprintMTG.com over the course of our 6 years of uptime. This is up from 175K users last year which means 43,000 people visited…
In my blog post titled “ Hitting Walls ” I talk about coming to the realization that in order to achieve my collecting goals, I would need to fundamentally change the way I collect. This essentially boiled down to adopting a long term strategy focused on specific milestones, while simultaneously avoiding unplanned impulse buys. This has mostly worked out (except in the cases of new fillers) but…
(editor’s note: I wrote this post back in February, but decided that before publishing it that I’d try a little experiment so I wouldn’t have to rely on pure conjecture for one of my arguments. Check out the video at the end of this post to see the experiment’s results!) One of the questions that I get asked is whether or not it’s worth getting a misprint graded. Before I list my thoughts on the…

I’m sorry that it took so long for this to come out!
MisprintedMTG.com is 5 Years old today! As is our yearly tradition here’s a quick roundup of our statistics, accomplishments, and ongoing plans and projects. Approximately 175,000 users (3.25 times the number of the hashtag group members) have visited the site in our 5 year history! Our pages have been viewed 305,000 times by those users! We broke our previous record of monthly visitors with a…
I wanted to take a moment and do a little bit of a reality check for a minute. As collectors we all must accept risks. That’s just the nature of collecting. I feel that due to the nature of our community that we’ve become slightly lax in the due diligence required to protect ourselves and our collections from those who would wish to take advantage of us. In any collectible market where items are…
Many collectors like to share their knowledge and acquisitions with others. Some deliver it in an organized and aesthetically pleasing way, in the form of a binder. Others deliver it in a white storage box to be curiously thumbed through and asked about. Some deliver by recording videos on various topics and broadcasting their specimens to YouTube. I’m a functional collector, meaning that I…
