This item is an Artist's proof card, or 'white-back' of the Magic the Gathering card of the same name. It is printed with a plain white back rather than the usual Magic the Gathering "Deckmaster" card back. A limited batch of cards is sent to each artist when the respective card is published. Usually only 50 regular proofs, and 30 foil proofs are printed, though some printing exceed that number. This makes them finite and collectable. Artist proofs not tournament legal, but appropriate for friendly games. The cards will always be signed and numbered. I will, however, retain number #1 for my personal collection.

Sketch Cards are a new type of Magic card where the art is not the finished full color art, but the preliminary sketch submitted to the art directors at Wizards of the Coast for approval. It's a bit of a window into the creative process of making magic art. "Search the Premises" appears in Modern Horizons 2.

Custom art may be added to the white back in the form of a pencil sketch for an additional $50, or a color piece done in ink and watercolor for an additional $150, or Gouache for an additional $200. The examples in the art example photo do not represent the actual art that will be done on the card, and are only provided to give a sample of the style and level of finish of the added art. Subject matter usually related to the particular card, and I do take requests, if that request is feasible.

Proof numbers will be different than the one in the photo. All proofs are signed in Sharpie by the artist. Unless requested by the buyer, the color of the signature is up to the artist. Artist proof cards measure 3.5 inches by 2.5 inches. Ships flat in a stiff cardboard mailer, protected by additional cardboard. If purchased with additional items, items will be shipped together whenever possible, and shipping overages refunded.
