Existance: Portuguese Portal Second Age

Hello everyone,
After several years of assessments (positive or negative) by people ready to swear on the head of their children that they knew the truth, I think we finally have a serious proof that, indeed, Portal Second Age has really been printed in Portuguese.
This proof has been brought by Mr.C, recently registered on this site. Thank you very much!!
The proof (see below), is a scan of Portuguese Portal Second Age card that should not be included in the Demogame Portal Second Age booster: Path of Peace
Inca911, Dragsamou and myself had offered months ago a reward on MOTL to anyone being able to definitely proove the existence of this set.
Unless anyone has something to say about this proof, I think it's time to transform our nice words into actions and to contact Mr.C.
Enjoy the scan:
Cool a news 
Not cool, another pack to look for 
Eric.

Excellent!!! Thank you Erl00 for investigating, and thank you Mr.C for solving this riddle. Now there is still the question about the existence of a Portuguese Portal set (although I am almost certain that it has not been produced).

Hi Members.
Nice discovery,but I'm still wondering if a Full Set exists 
At any rate the Demo Booster Portal Second Age has
exactely the same cards as the others Demo Boosters.

Indeed, Mr.C missed a bit his scan. On the left part of it, you can see the rulesheet of a Portuguese Demogame Portal Second Age Booster Pack (which is, by the way, the longest name ever for a booster pack).
He should have scanned the other side of the rulesheet on which is written the list of the cards included in the demogame pack to prove that Path of Peace is not there.
This brings credits to the fact that a full set must exist or where the hell would this Path of Peace come from??
@Sylvanstu: On MOTL I had offer a reward, in cash or cards for an amount of around $10. Dragsamou and Inca had made offers too.

It's not an absolutely definitive answer, but I'm more and more convinced that Portal has not been printed in Portuguese.

Hi Eric.
The Full list is there,that's why I say that the Demo Cards in The Portuguese Booster are the same as the others 
Shame that WOTC did not provide you an answer regarding Portal Second Age.
As for the Path of Peace,why only one card,has been founded and is it Real
As for me the Mystery is not solved at all,but I do believe
that with the Scan that we have,we may be able to have more infos.I will ask a Portuguese friend to put a Post on Devir Brazil and Portugal Forum,to collect more infos.For Portal 1,I do believe the case is solved

well, i happen to have other cards that i may be able to scan... just ask. Also, if Erl00 wants the front and back scans of the rulesheet, i can get them.
As for portal 1, i'm almos 100% certain it has NEVER been printed in portuguese, since i never saw a portuguese portal 1 card.
I'll try and post more scans later.

If you right click on his avatar and select view it shows up afterwards. I think the web host he is using is similar to US-based free web servers that prevent direct linking via a URL.

Hi Members.
As I received 2 Boosters Demo Portal Second Age Portuguese WOC2380,Copyright Date 1993-2000,I decided to open one of them,to finally get the missing Portal Tip Card in Portuguese,and the result is a Filler Card instead of the "Uma carta de sugestoes" mentioned on the back of the Booster 
Meaning that except if we have the same situation as the German Demo Booster:
Quote:
For unknown reasons, there are two versions of the German Portal Second Age Demogame booster in existance, one featuring a copyright date of 1998 and the other one featuring a copyright date of 2000 on the booster. Only the 1998 version contains a Portal Second Age tip card, the other one has a filler card in its place
|
|
The Portuguese Tip Card won't exist.Now,the last 2 eventual Tip Cards missing on Magic Rarities will be the Japanese and Spanish,but the Existance of these 2 Demo Boosters is still a Mystery has none has been founded yet
PS:Eric what's the WOC Number of your Portuguese Demo Booster?
