Cards 55 and 56: Rustling Specter and Mud Plains

The Plains is from Joonas Himmanen and the very special Hypnotic Specter is from Pekka Ahonen. Thank you, gentlemen!
I got these cards during yesterday's FNM.  Joonas's Plains has been worn trough unsleeved play and has accumulated an impressive amount of grime. Pekka's Hypnotic Specter hasn't technically been damaged, but it is utterly unplayable due to a manufacturing error.

The Hypnotic Specter is a Player Rewards foil that Pekka got when they were originally distributed. It has an over sized foil layer due to a manufacturing error, which makes a delightful rustling sound whenever you touch the card. It is literally hypnotic; kind of like popping bubble wrap. Wizards of the Coast kindly sent him a replacement, but he held on to the flawed copy as well. It probably wasn't easy to let such a unique card go, so Pekka deserves superplusthanks for his contribution!
