Found This Week: A Blood Moon in Solid Gold Foil

Wizards handed MSCHF three Magic cards for a Secret Lair drop. MSCHF's first move was to bury one in its own foil.

Secret Lair x MSCHF Blood Moon #366

The Blood Moon #366 is a solid gold etched surface with an orbit-and-moon-phase diagram laid over the rules text. Part card, part joke about how blinding foil can get. The art is the shine.

Same collab, sharper knife.

Secret Lair x MSCHF Cut // Ribbons #367

Cut // Ribbons #367 deals the damage up front and drains the life after, cast again from the graveyard. MSCHF takes that literally. Catacomb arches, a hooded figure mid-ritual, gold foil etched over red and black.

One more from the drop, and it comes in a crate.

Secret Lair x MSCHF Teferi's Puzzle Box #368

Teferi's Puzzle Box #368 goes full industrial. Hazard stripes and a sealed shipping crate standing in where the art should be, silver laminate foil over black. The card that scrambles everyone's hand, drawn as a box nobody gets to open.

Then the week got older and started signing its own name.

1999 Sports Illustrated Greats of the Game Don Maynard Autograph

Don Maynard's autograph on his own card. Black ink, on-card, from the 1999 Sports Illustrated Greats of the Game set by Fleer, with the certificate of authenticity printed right on the back under an embossed Fleer mark. Jets wide receiver, Hall of Fame hands.

He signed twice this week.

1999 Upper Deck Century Legends Don Maynard Epic Signatures

A cut signature from the Upper Deck Century Legends Epic Signatures set. Blue ink under a black and white shot of Maynard in Jets gear, COA on the back signed by Upper Deck's then-CEO. Same hand, different decade of card design.

Different Jet, shinier finish.

1996 Topps Joe Namath Reprints Chromium Refractor

Card 8 of 10 from the 1996 Topps Namath Reprints insert set, a chromium refractor pulled from his nine years on Topps cardboard. Career passing stats on the back. Surface catches light cleanly, no scuffing.

Last one crawled out of 1967.

1967 Topps Wahoo McDaniel #82

Wahoo McDaniel's 1967 Topps card, number 82. Linebacker out of Oklahoma, through San Diego, Houston, Denver, and New York before landing in Miami, and a bigger legend later in the wrestling ring. Surface bloom over the photo, corners worn to match the age. Honest cardboard.
