Zendikar's Treasure is Old Cards?

Reddit

CONFIRMED - This rumor has been 100% confirmed by an email from John Carter, the Judge Coordinator for Organized Play. Read about the Zendikar Repack Confirmation!

The Magic media are all chattering away as a store has supposedly spoiled opening a booster pack and finding inside it an Antiquities copy of the card Candelabra of Tawnos. The following picture was posted on the store's site. It is an isolated incident as stores are not supposed to be opening product yet, but this store believes it is in the clear as this is product not earmarked for the pending pre-release.

Two independent sources have called to verify the claims, Evan Erwin and Kelly Reid.

We have reached out to our contacts and are waiting for confirmation or any comment from Wizards concerning this issue.

Update 8:34am: This seems to be 100% true. More reports have come into the MTGSalvation forums of people opening a number of other old cards including original dual lands, a Mox Diamond and more. This is Magic history in the making for sure.

Update 10:03am: A German store reports opening a Mox Jet after opening 27 boxes of Zendikar.

Update 11:00am: A reliable spoiler source on MTGSalvation says that the distribution is 1 in 20 boxes. Also it is becomign more apparent these cards are not in Mint condition, reportedly they seem to be played and in Near Mint quality. So it looks like Wizards may have purchased the cards from the secondary market.

Update: 1:28pm: Spoke to Jessica our PR Contact for Wizards and at this time she doesn't have anything to say about the repacks. Though this does not mean she/Wizards won't have anything in the future. So we would say to expect an announcement on Monday after the pre-releases.
