OOC Chatter Mk III
Met Fischer (an M:tG artist) yesterday at DragonCon. He was not the only one in attendance and everyone I met was super awesome, but he was the only one advertising that he'd sign his own cards. I'd purchased two packs in the vendor area earlier and asked him if he knew how lucky I was. He shrugged and I pulled the packs from my pocket, asking him if what cards he'd recently done work on. He mentioned Dark Confidant, which I think he's pretty proud of since he talked about it, but then went on to say that he'd recently, in the most recent Conspiracy set, done the work on "Burning Wish."
I opened the first pack and thumbed to the rare, a card that was definitely not Burning Wish. I scowled. "Hunh," I said as I grabbed the other pack. Mr. Fischer looked at my brother for a moment as I popped it open and went straight for the rare.
"Is this your card," I asked as I showed him "Burning Wish."
It was a pretty good moment. He signed it, which may or may not effect the value of the card, but I'll always have that memory.
