TOPIC: Trent Tokens Presents: True Dungeon History

I got these awesome things from Jenny/Binia (thanks Jenny!), and here's the answer for everyone who didn't know, straight from Dave Radtke.

Those were token proxy cards. When people started getting condensed packs, one of the issues was they were giving up commons (or the chance to get them) the compromise was that they would give up a few of the trade items (steel, etc.) for a specific number of each of those common ingredients on the card to be used for combo trading.

The Dragon tooth amulet at the top with the hole through it was Jeff's way of authenticating the card, preventing people from making counterfeits, they would have had to give up a nice token to make a few fake cards. These were only good for either making combos, or later to convert to trade good tokens if they did not want to make the combo items, but for that year, those were all the commons in the combo formula.

Always love these posts Trent!

Yeah, it's so awesome to see some of these TD history items. It makes me happy to see them, but also sad that I didn't get to experience it way back when.
