Cards 59 and 60: Crushed Eye and Bruma

The two Frozen Shades are from Kake and the Unblinking Bleb is from Marde, both notorious players in Tampere.

The Unblinking Bleb has extensive wear and tear over the entire card. It has been used with a sleeve as a hideout for some Bank Identifier Codes and in that duty both the card and the sleeve have been crushed in pockets, wallets, pencil cases and wherever else thoroughly and repeatedly. It is a fine addition to Wear 'n' Tear.

The two Frozen Shades are almost booster fresh, although they might not look like it. Their story begins in a cottage in the beautiful natural park of Koli, where Team Dredge and some other players spent some nights playing Magic. Kake won two boosters of Italian 4th edition for placing second in a Jungle Draft, and to his surprise seven of the cards in both boosters were exactly the same, including these Frozen Shades. As is often the case with Finnish Magic players, some alcohol was involved, and this booster packing oddity led to the fine gentlemen taking these two handsome Brumas to the Sauna with them, which apparently seemed both hilarious and a good idea at the time.

Being treated to much relaxing heat and humidity allowed Kake to give them a condition rating to match their language: Mediterranean Mint. As I try to follow a Singleton rule, only one of the Shades counts towards the total sum of cards.
