Their card stock is thicker, their backside features a glossy finish, their color are a little darker, and their printing style does not show the characteristic pattern of dots, but is completely undiscernible.
The cards look very similar to standard Magic cards, but reveal some differences on closer inspection. The cards were scheduled for destruction, yet an unknown number was saved and somehow leaked into the public. They discontinued their business relationship after a settlement was made at the American Arbitrary Society in 1996. Unlike the Vampire cards, the printed Fourth Edition cards were never officially published, allegedly because both companies had a dispute with each other.
Aside from Magic, the company also printed two sets of the Wizards of the Coast card game Vampire: The Eternal Struggle, namely the Unlimited Edition, released in October 1995 and the first expansion, Dark Souvereigns, released in November 1995. The cards have been printed after Novemby the United States Playing Card Corporation in Cincinnati in a first attempt to produce Magic cards on US soil.
Being discovered in 1999 by Dan Bock, a former Pro Tour player, the Alternate Fourth Edition is a parallel print run of the standard Fourth Edition set.
