# Bootleg Mage (BM) MTG Proxies {% embed url="" %} {% embed url="" %} While there are many US-based Resellers, Bootleg Mage tends to have the highest overall quality due to their direct work with the manufacturers, as well as creating bespoke print runs with full creative control over the improvement of cards.\ \ When looking at the sets available for sale from BL, Ron, or USea, you may see some tagged as "BM Holo 1" or "USea + BM 1". These are sets that BM hand-crafted to be of exceptional quality. Due to this unyielding dedication to quality, BM has curated a seriously top notch collection of cards for sale.\ \ BM also sources cards from both USea, Ron, and BL, meaning you don't need to shop around or try to figure out who has the best cards. BM simply identifies the best version of any given card and stocks that in one simple and convenient place. ## Pros and Cons Bootleg Mage MTG Proxies * **Highest Card Quality** among any available reseller. * **Fast** and insured shipping. (Including International Options) * **Great Customer Service through many channels.** BM has discord, website, and email support. * **Excellent pricing.** While many resellers gouge prices, BM has kept their prices at the absolute lowest among any reseller while maintaining the highest quality for the past 3 years of business. * **Dedicated Quality Controls.** BM employs multiple staff members to check card quality at the individual level, meaning order accuracy is high and damage is unlikely compared to direct purchasing or other resellers. Cons * **Limited Selection.** While there are still over 3000 unique cards available, BM often won't stock certain versions of cards due to quality concerns. Instead, they opt to wait until they can print them or otherwise wait for a reprint. * **Cards Sell Quickly.** Given the quality, some cards tend to go out of stock fast. You may need to wait for a restock to get the exact version you want of very popular cards. If it's a staple, there's typically little or no wait. * **Demand for BM's curation is high.** Because Bootleg Mage is the go-to especially for US-based customers, processing times on orders can sometimes be a week or more due to the growing popularity of bootlegs and MTG in general. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
