TOPIC: Proof Ultra Rare Tokens

<br />

<br />I'd put a tiny "proof" at the top since it's possible for a UR that comes in a bag to be on a platinum back.<br /><br />Kim<br />

<br /><br />Historically officially, there were no URs on plat backs.<br />

<br /><br />RoRs were

Black backs sounds great, especially with a small "proof" written on the front.

<br />I also vote black... wouldn't hurt to have a tiny "proof" on the front. Am I right in saying, from a collectibility stand-point, that there is only one proof of a given UR? If so, is it first-come, first-served?<br />

<br /><br />No, they send me a handful of each token as a proof.  I can stipulate the color of the chip...so if you guys like the black token idea, then we can do that.  I am not sure about having the tiny "proof" at the top though.  It is okay that they are just backed with a black token?  I just want them to be cool and fun.<br /><br />Please let me know soon.  Monday is the deadline.  Thanks.<br />

<br />I don't think we'll need the word 'proof'.  *We* know what a black back means - sounds awesome!<br /><br />

I really like the black back idea but I would be ok with plat as well since plat already signifies that the token is rarer than the gold version.

<br /><br />But I think BLACK proofs standing out is worth a try - and may push sales...I'm already thinking now about a BLACK back mace and a GOLD back mace!<br />

<br /><br />Note to Jeff: consider doing the Mace in Pink, Purple, White, Yellow, Blue and Orange backs...  Of course, they would all be proof types, that you'd need to spend $500 to get.<br />

Black back gets my vote with no writing on the front.

i like the black back idea. having proof on them then becomes a mute point. <br /><br />as long as there is an easier way to tell proofs apart from the regular UR's, than the first year. i'm still hunting for the last 2 of those for a set.  =(

Okay...then we will go with the black tokens but the fronts will be identical to the regular UR tokens.<br /><br />Cool.  Sounds like it will be fun -- and neat to see some black tokens about.  One last thing.  We can't call them "black" -- they need a cooler name that is a metal like gold or platinum.<br /><br />What about just calling them "iron"?  I know that iron is traditionally a less expensive metal, but it fits well.  I would almost say go with our current theme and call them "faerie-iron" but I am not sure.  What about "obsidian" or even something like "Orc Iron" or "High Iron"?<br /><br />Let me know what you think.  Thanks.

Onyx? Jet?

<br /><br />I think Obsidian is cool.  I'd stay away from more complicated names or theme-oriented names, since you want a name that is "evergreen" and easy to say like Gold & Platinum.  Onyx is cool also.
