Magic the Gathering collectible card game logo for artwork illustration done by fantasy and alternate reality artist Melissa Benson

Early Magic: the Gathering originals are small (a requirement at the time). The image area is nominally 6 x 7 inches.

Framed art is double matted. The top mat is black wtih a black bevel, & measures 2 1/4 inches all around. The inner liner is 3/16 inch and matches the card's color. Framing can be done on all unframed art for $60. The framer Melissa uses is excellent and reasonable.The frame is a simple half round black metal. The overall measurement is 11 x 12 1/2 inches. Only acid free materials and conservation glass is used to help prevent the fading of dyes.

Regarding Signing cards through the mail:

I sign cards as a Thank you perk to my supportive online customers, it is the only way to get cards signed through the mail. When you buy something from this site or from any of my online shops(Zazzle, Printfection, FineArtAmerica), I'll sign any 5 cards you send, per item bought. If you purchase an Artist Proof card, I'll sign 15 cards for each proof card purchased. If you purchase something from one of my shops, send a copy of the receipt with your cards in an SASE. When you buy an original, I will sign as many as you send at that time.
