Yo, #magicthegathering folks who didn't already know: Desert Bus for Hope is running, and they've got a donation incentive currently that'll enter you in a drawing to get an Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Rare/Mythic showcase *uncut sheet* for $7.21 or multiples thereof, and it ends in under 45 minutes.
Edit: Giveaway's closed!
@LexYeen out of curiosity, what's a, uh, what you said?

@Felthry An uncut sheet of MtG cards is a large sheet of cardstock that has been printed in a grid pattern with a large number of individual cards. Typically they're sent to a robotic cutting machine in order to cut the sheet down into individual cards, but uncut sheets are often sold or donated to charity drives by manufacturers.
Edit: If you'd like an example, here's three such sheets now. Not mine, they're image search results.
@LexYeen that's a lot of cards!

@Felthry They're *beautiful* when framed. Especially the foil sheets, or the *showcase* sheets with the extra-special card treatments that go even further beyond simple foils.
@LexYeen we do know the card art can be really pretty
we have two framed pictures on our wall that are prints of card game card art, one from magic (i think it was called something like "filigree familiar"?) and one that @ziphi@/tailswish.industries made for a pokemon card art contest (an extremely pretty picture of an arcanine in ecruteak that unfairly did not win the contest)

@Felthry Oh, wow, Filigree Familiar is so pretty. I can only imagine how much better the art looks at a proper size as opposed to on a playing card.
@LexYeen https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/cannibalcandy/filigree-familiar/ is where the artist is selling prints! you can see a higher resolution image there too
