The Story
The Gathering — Multi-Artist MTG Playmat (Signed, Kickstarter Exclusive)
This Magic: The Gathering playmat originates from “The Gathering: Reuniting Pioneering Artists of Magic” Kickstarter campaign (2014–2015), featuring a multi-artist collage of reimagined iconic subjects by original Magic illustrators.
The design presents a “shattered glass” composition combining artwork inspired by legendary cards, created specifically for the project rather than reused from original card prints.
This particular piece stands out due to its exceptional signature density, bearing 14+ authentic artist signatures, including many of Magic’s earliest and most influential illustrators.
- 🎨 Artwork: Multi-artist collage (The Gathering project)
- 🧠 Concept: Reimagined iconic MTG subjects (not original card art)
- 🖌️ Artists featured: Shuler, Poole, Ferguson, Menges, Riche, Baroh, and others
- ✍️ Signatures: Douglas Shuler, Darrell Riche, Jeff Menges, Ken Meyer Jr., Anthony S. Waters, Dan Frazier, Drew Tucker, Brian Snoddy, Mark Poole, Rob Alexander, Richard Kane Ferguson, Bryon Wackwitz, Mark Tedin, & Julie Baroh.
- 🚀 Origin: 2014 Kickstarter exclusive (Full Steam Press)
- 📏 Size: Approx. 24 × 14 inches
A high-signature collector piece tied to a unique moment in Magic’s history, where many of its original artists were reunited—making examples like this, with multiple autographs, particularly scarce and desirable.
Note: Signature placement and exact artist combination may vary between individually signed pieces.
