This is an image taken by an employee of Kidforce Collectables from Berea, Ohio. I (Kelly Reid, Editor of QS.COM) just got off the phone with the gentleman and while I am not a professional lie-detector, the guy actually sounded like he was for real. Allegedly, it is in the stead of the Basic Land, is sitting in the pack rotated 180 degrees, and his rare and a foil were still there.
If this is indeed true, there are no words other than jaw-droppingly, mind-shatteringly, unprecedentedly epic. The scale and implication of this is huge, and the guys at Kidforce are well aware that if they are hoaxing us, they will be publically humiliated and shamed by Quiet Spec and every other Magic site in existence. They have requested that they NOT be called about this, so please respect their wishes, hoax or not.
If this is indeed real, you might want to order a few more cases of Zendikar. It's going to be one hell of a weekend, folks. I would just like to add that neither I (Kelly B Reid), nor Quiet Speculation dot com can can confirm or deny the veracity of this employee's statement. We here at Quiet Speculation always believe in respecting WotC's rules regarding treatment of sealed product before release date and cannot endorse opening product without authorization.

I have already pre-ordered 4 boxes. I will be sure to let you know if I find any epic cards like this! If I don't respond to this post you can assume it means no such luck :-/
I've opened some weird packs before, (Cards upside-down or crimped with the packaging) but this seems too crazy to be true.
Haha I can see this happening... it fits in with "Priceless Treasures" doesn't it!
I have two cases on order. (Diving into the secondary market, and I want to finally be the guy who has the good cards and the skill, not just the skill.) There are going to be more cracked packs of Zen than any other set. And I wonder how many sudden shortages are going to happen as places realize it's worth more to crack than sell packs.
Also, if these are repacked, rather than reprint, it'll be mint/NM condition antiquities, dark, revised, unlimited, ect. Pure money, indecipherable from the existing market save quality.
I'm excited to crack my cases.
It's a complete fake. So many packs have been opened already, why has no one else reported finding something like this in their pack?
It's a fake, the store is pulling a sham, and they deserve to be made fun of for the rest of eternity.
I just can't beleive it. Could WotC really keep a secret this big from all of us? Reprinting any old cards like this is just too WOW. Words seems to fail me. Now if this is true, to what extent are these new "treasures"? Do they extend all the way to the "jewelery" AKA moxes?
