| Sounds like they are borrowing a page from sports cards as Topps baseball and football has in the past randomly inserted old cards in packs but your odds were like 1 in a 1000 packs!

| Apparently, the odds are 1 in 20 boxes, or 1 in 720 packs. There is a picture in post 557 in the MTGSalvation thread that Ben posted. |

| Sounds like WotC is really trying to push sales through the roof... And my guess is Zendikar is going to be harder to find than M10... Considering there has been Moxen "opened"...
This was on Evan Erwin's "The Magic Show", so I'm 100% sure it's correct. |

| They are not reprints, just stock-piled cards being inserted into packs.

| They are just recirculating the older cards because it fits the theme of Zendikar, "Priceless Treasures" |

| And finally, from the Judge-L list..
Q: I heard that there are vintage cards in Zendikar boosters - is it
correct?
A: Yes, certain authentic vintage cards have been inserted in some
booster packs for Zendikar.
Q: Are the vintage cards real? Or are they reprints?
A: These cards are actual original cards, not reprints.
Q: How many vintage cards are in the set?
As a general policy, we don't disclose collation for a given card set.
There are over 90 different vintage cards.
Q: Why did Wizards insert vintage cards in Zendikar boosters?
A: The cards fit the game play and theme of the Zendikar set which is
about 'deadly perils and priceless treasures'.
Q: Which vintage cards did you insert?
Consistent with the game play and theme of the set, we included some of
the most powerful cards in Magic's history.
Q: Can I play these vintage cards in a tournament?
A: These vintage cards retain their current status in the tournament
environment. They are allowed in certain organized play formats that can
be found on www.magicthegathering.com
Q: Are vintage cards inserted in all Zendikar boosters? Including
reprints?
Vintage cards, like all cards in Magic, are not available in all packs.
We do not disclose collation information.
Q: Are vintage cards inserted in Magic Online Zendikar boosters?
No. No vintage cards are inserted in Magic Online Zendikar boosters.
To recap:
Yes, vintage cards are in boosters. Yes, they're originals, not
reprints.
No, you can't play in your limited Zendikar event with pre-Zendikar
cards.
No, we can't talk about which cards, how many have been inserted, or
where they came from.
Yes, the MTR already covers this somewhat new situation (foil Lightning
Bolts in Nemesis, anyone?).
If someone opens a "priceless treasure," they should keep it and enjoy.
The truck with the "deadly perils" boxes had a horrific accident, so the
only deadly perils this weekend are the traps across the table from you.

| Darn, I was hoping to see people die opening packs with "deadly perils". The "treasures" are still nice though.

| Colin pulled a Lion's Eye Diamond out of a prize pack in Springfield today...
