RICHARD GARFIELD CELEBRATION CARDS
Richard Garfield, the designer of Magic: The Gathering, has designed several cards celebrating important events in his personal life, in particular his marriage and the births of his children. Richard designed these cards himself, including naming each card and commissioning an artist to create artwork. Richard then distributed these celebration cards to family and friends.
There are two varieties of Richard Garfield celebration cards. The first is cards that Richard distributed to his family and friends. This variety has the traditional Magic card back. The second variety is celebration card artist proofs, which are copies of celebration cards that Richard gave to the artist who created the artwork on the card. For the most part, these celebration card artist proofs have been signed and numbered and had a reproduction of the artwork created on the card back by the artist.
The Richard Garfield celebration cards are as follows:
Proposal, used by Richard to propose to his first wife during a game of Magic. No public images of Proposal exist.
Splendid Genesis, celebrating the birth of Richard's daughter, Terri.
Exquisite Inception, a pair of two-sided cards celebrating the birth of Richard's twin boys. No public images of these cards exist.
