Magic card frames are the distinctive visual design of trading cards in the Magic: The Gathering collectible card game. The card frame has evolved over the years, with each set having its own unique design elements. The original Magic card frame, known as the "Alpha" frame, was introduced in 1993 with the release of the game's first set. It featured a black border, a small illustration at the top, and a rectangular area for the card's name, mana cost, and card type. The text box below the illustration contained the card's rules text and any additional abilities. Over time, the card frame evolved to include more information and visual elements.
Mister Magic
Pure dark magic from Grover Washington – a record that was a megahit back in the 70s, but which still sounds amazing many decades later! There's a sound here that's completely sublime – and the album is to Grover's career what the first 2 CTI sets by Bob James were to his – a stretched-out, masterpiece of sublime jazzy energy – served up with a really spacious sound overall! Grover's sharp-edged sax is at the lead of the set – but the album's also awash in electric piano work from Bob James – and backings that are as lean, clean, and soulful as the best on CTI from the time. Titles include the killer "Black Frost" – a track that we never tire of – plus the hit "Mister Magic", and the cuts "Earth Tones" and "Passion Flower". © 1996-2024, Dusty Groove, Inc.

Very Good
- Vinyl can have some dirt, but nothing major.
- May not shine under light, but should still be pretty clean, and not too dirty.
- May have a number of marks (5 to 10 at most), and obvious signs of play, but never a big cluster of them, or any major mark that would be very deep. Most marks should still not click under a fingernail.
- May not look near perfect, but should play fairly well, with slight surface noise, and the occasional click in part of a song, but never throughout a whole song or more.
- This is clearly a copy that was played by someone a number of times, but which could also be a good "play copy" for someone new.
Additional Marks & Notes
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Over time, the card frame evolved to include more information and visual elements. The border went through several changes, from a thin black line to a thicker, more stylized design. The illustration area at the top of the card became larger and more detailed, often featuring the card's main character or theme.

The text box also grew in size to accommodate longer card text. In recent years, a new card frame called the "M15 frame" was introduced. It features a simplified design with a cleaner, more modern look. The border is thinner and less stylized, and the illustration area is smaller and centered. The text box has been resized and repositioned to create a more balanced visual composition. Magic card frames also include various symbols and icons that represent different aspects of the game. The mana symbols indicate the types of mana required to cast a spell, while other icons represent specific abilities or card types. These symbols help players quickly understand the card's characteristics and gameplay effects. The Magic card frame is not only a functional element of the game but also a visual representation of the world and themes of each set. From the bold and intricate designs of older sets to the sleek and minimalist style of modern frames, the card frame has become an iconic part of the Magic: The Gathering experience..
Reviews for "Add a touch of magic to your card collection with a decorative frame"
1. David - 2/5 - I was disappointed with the Magic Card Frame. While the concept is interesting, the execution fell short for me. Firstly, the frame is quite flimsy and feels like it could break easily. Secondly, the size of the frame is much smaller than I expected, making it difficult to fit larger cards. Lastly, the instructions provided were unclear and did not provide enough guidance on how to properly use the frame. Overall, I did not find this product to be worth the cost.
2. Sarah - 1/5 - I do not recommend the Magic Card Frame. It is a complete waste of money. The frame arrived already chipped and cracked, making it completely unusable. Additionally, even if it had arrived in perfect condition, the frame itself is poorly designed. The cards do not fit securely and constantly fall out. The overall quality is lacking and I would advise against purchasing this product.
3. Mark - 2/5 - I had high hopes for the Magic Card Frame, but unfortunately, it did not live up to my expectations. The frame is made of cheap plastic that feels flimsy and easily breakable. The card slots are too small and it is a struggle to fit standard-sized cards into them. The frame also arrived with scratches and scuffs, making it look even cheaper. Overall, I was not impressed with the quality and functionality of this product.
4. Jessica - 3/5 - The Magic Card Frame is just okay. It gets the job done, but it has a few flaws. The design is not very sleek and the frame feels bulky. Also, I found that the cards do not fit securely and there is a constant risk of them falling out. On the positive side, the frame is easy to assemble and the colors are vibrant. However, I would not repurchase or recommend this product due to its limitations.
