Bought a collection and it included these really cool deckboxes covered with the artwork of iconic cards of that particular color. I know someone out there knows where I can locate them.

Pic of the red one can be found here (thanks pickle.69 for the pic):

11th row, 6 pic in

I currently have the blue, red, white and artifact versions and I'm missing the black. green and land? version. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

apparently there are both older and newer versions of these

http://www.ccghouse.com/catalog/gaming_supplies-cardboard_boxes/black_mtg_ca rd_box__original/63090

http://www.ccghouse.com/catalog/gaming_supplies-cardboard_boxes/black_mtg_car d_box__new_age/61373

The green one has maro as the prominent feature. Buddy of mine has the black one, but its a little rough. Not sure if he bought it new or just got it later.

I recall these came with cards. Were these precursors to fat packs? I know the first thing labeled as a fat pack didn't even have a box. There were similar boxes released around the time of visions (huge, green, has the big V on it). I think this is whats referred to on this page as multiverse:
http://www.magiclibrarities.net/sets-independent-box-sets.html

edit: nope, librarities also has a pic of the multiverse box
http://www.magiclibrarities.net/145-rarities-multiverse-gift-box-cards-english- cards-index.html
not the same thing I was thinking of.

and doing a bit of surfing located the "old" style red box
http://cgi.ebay.com/Red-MTG-Card-Box-Original-/290369986006?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item439b665dd6

Still not finding any info tho on where they come from. Pickle's collection does mention the red one he has was only available in France, that can complicate things if the other colors are similar.

I'll take a pic of mine, just a sec.

The artifact one is really cool.

Edit: Here's what I got. The ones that have only old school art I picked up in collections in Brazil; the ones with Art around Tempest block I picked up as parts of collections here in Vancouver.

That is absolutely EPIC. Force of Nature and Harthag the Magnificent on one box?!? I have got to find me one of these! I love theme boxes like this. Got one with Kargan Dragonlord on it at the RoE pre-re but it's not nearly as cool as these old school ones here.

Ultra pro has started doing the mana symbol boxes, and here's hoping that if those sell well (they have been at our store), that they will continue to make new ones with similar art to those. The only problem is that a player can get a white card box for less than a dollar, and those mana ones end up being far faaaar more expensive in comparison.

I've wanted one of those for a while, just not enough to pay much for them due to reason of the above post, I just use cheap plain white boxes.

Thanks for all the help guys! Can someone with the Black and Green one take a pic of it flat so I can see all the artwork?

My personal fav is the Artifact one. Here they are flat:

I have the Black and Green one of the older style but the newer ones are way better.

I have one with Wretched, Lich, Juzam, black mana symbol...not sure if that is the one you mean. I'm open to offers. Pretty sure I had to spend $20 (10 years or so when I bought it).
