1996 FPG Guardians Dagger Isle Sealed Box 36 Packs
This factory-sealed booster box contains 36 unopened, unsearched distribution packs from the 1996 Dagger Isle: Western Expansion release for the Guardians collectible card game by Friedlander Publishing Group (FPG). Emerging from the definitive peak of the mid-nineties fantasy card gaming boom, this scarce expansion set consists of 120 strategically complex cards designed by Keith Parkinson and Luke Peterschmidt. Each individual booster pack contains 14 pristine cards, bringing a total of 504 unpeeled cards to this complete wholesale configuration, engineered with a fixed mechanical distribution of 3 Rare cards resting face-up directly on top of 11 Common cards.
The expansion's visual identity is driven by an elite roster of premier high-fantasy illustrators, weaving breathtaking, dark-fantasy masterpieces from legendary artists Brom, Den Beauvais, Don Maitz, Keith Parkinson, and Mike Ploog across the set's signature rectangular battlefield layout. Collectors and competitive vintage players can pursue coveted, short-printed high-end chase cards native to this exact distribution tier, including elusive heavy-impact characters like First Mate Muldoon, the massive Hal a Toasis Dragon, and iconic, visually striking spells like Angel of Death. This archive-tier display box remains entirely untouched in its original publisher state, preserving original pack-odds distribution and uncompromised card surfaces for serious old-school CCG preservationists.
