Description: You are buying a Magic the Gathering Alpha Edition Chaos Orb Certified and graded by BGS 8.0 NM-MT. This card is beautiful, pulled from an original pack , never been played and from our archives and graded by Beckett Grading Services (BGS) as being a 8.0 NM-MT grade. In our opinion the card is under graded by Beckett and looks like a 8.5 or better. Card is signed by artist Mark Tedin and certified by BAS as being a 10 grade Beckett Authentic Autograph. Centering 8.5 Corners 8.0 Edges 7.5 Surface 8.5 Card from the Amricons Archive Collection Comment: Chaos Orb is one of the rarest Alpha cards because players hated it so much they destroyed many copies back in the day. When it was played it was damaged easily so NM copies are even more difficult to locate. The card came out in 1993 or 27 years ago. We disagree with many of the BGS grades as not many graders have seen original live Alpha cards direct from the pack. This card has a 7 grade on the edges but looks better that a 9 edge card on another card. In our opinion Alpha cards , due to the many printing variations is subjective except for centering. Many Alpha corners have The Alpha card will show with significant "corner flipping," a positive trait for that series. The aforementioned corner flip may look detrimental to a novice, but is actually a feature that is greatly appreciated by experienced collectors. The Beta set also had corner flipping on many cards right out of the pack. There are also the rollor lines in the Unlimited set.
