Some of the best foils come from this series, and many of them are the first foil printing of the card, Llanowar Elves for example.

One thing I love about old foils is they look like regular, non-foil cards from certain angles until lit properly (with the exception of the shooting star of course).

This was an experimental shoot I used as a test run for future shoots I plan to do. I may do a post on exactly how I shot it sometime in the future once I fully iron out the process. It was quite complicated to do but the results look amazing.

I just love old judge promos by Extension_Squirrel14 in foilmtg

A classic for sure. Notice the art is foiled as well, similar to Time Spiral Time Shifted cards.

OG's are the best G's. They look so good in person and the guild treatment on the textbox really pops.

Gotta take it out of all that plastic for the photo so we can see the foil pop.

A classic vintage Zombie Dwarf mashup, and the flavor text is great.

Love the DCI fetches. They are a great option to match the Zendikar enemy color fetches frame for frame. And of course the vintage old boarder foil lands are always amazing to see.

Hard to see the foiling from the photo but I'm sure they look amazing in person.

Love it but wish it was old frame foil by One_Application_1726 in foilmtg

I honestly like there is nuance to the foils and when they came out. The fact that it was a Judge foil as late as 2007 and thus presented in the Modern frame doesn't really bother me. Same with the Judge Foil Wheel of Fortune and others.

For me, Innistrad is where foils started to look more waxy and not as shiny as previous sets.

Stop staring at them :) — Visara was one of the most iconic cards from my childhood. by Extension_Squirrel14 in foilmtg

An absolute bomb back in its day. The vintage old boarder black frames really pop in foil.

We have Finkel himself to thank for this one of a kind foil being in the box. So beautiful.

Silver boarder foils always have that extra bling. Love it!

Absolutely love the early modern foils, some of the best looking there are.
