About fakes and unofficial

[jAsOnX73]

I really think we should keep 'unofficial' stuff separated from the WoTC stuff.
Having an 'Unofficial' folder in which to put 'Rugrats' and such should be a great way to handle the database. I really don't likee seeing 'manga arts' or 'weird looking card' (different from MTG layout I mean) mixed with promo cards and unreleased rare stuff.

Separating things means we could also manage fake cards.
Two sets comes into mind right now: Gauntlet and Monty Python.
Using subfolders into the 'unofficial' category could give the chance to archive for good 'all things Magic'.

What do you think about that?

I am wandering whether to name this "edition" Fake or rather "Unofficial"

I 100% agree.

Where I can get more information about them? Also card art?

I am also considering adding Unofficial from

here you can find some 'unofficial'

http://mtglair.de/sets.html

not all of them are wothwhile, tho

i found the 'gauntlet' unofficial set inside a big rar file I downloaded. If you want I can send you a zip with Gauntlet and a bunch of unofficial&fake cards I got in the same file

btw, is it possible to create subfolders into the "Unofficial" folder?

meaning:

Unofficial/Monty Python
Unofficial/Gauntlet

and so on.
Things would be sorted in a better way instead of putting all cards in the same directory.
We could also have

Unofficial/Rugrats
Unofficial/Counters

Just a thought.

ps. what's with the

Starter
Starter 1999
Starter 2000

in the DB? Looks to me there are just 2 'starter' sets.
Keep up the great work.

I just discovered a thing about 'Gauntlet':

These cards are virtual cards made by the creator of Dante's Card Maker to show the capabilities of his software. Gauntlet was a whole set he did just for fun, with images taken from the internet. All cards feature a morning star as set symbol.

Hope it helps.
