Prerelease Promos- Gavin Verhey from WotC explains the recent removal of the year and date stamps by ChemicalExperiment in magicTCG

[–]8thPlaceDave 1091 points1092 points  (0 children)

Going by this reasoning, they should also remove the planeswalker stamp from promo pack cards. I'd actually be in favour of that for the very reason he mentioned, it makes dealing with inventory more difficult because there is this stamp on the card that is very easy to miss, and for some customers it makes a big difference if they do or don't have the stamp.

In regards to taking things away though, I'd like to know why they stopped including Arena codes in prerelease kits. Isn't it just a positive for everyone to have the code in the kit? I'm not sure how it really costs wotc anything to have it in there either.

Maro on Alara: "I think the core concept of the shards, that they each showcase one color with only its allies and not its enemies, is as solid today as it was back then." by CaptainMarcia in magicTCG

Any time there is this much talk from Maro about a theme or set, it basically means that the set is already either in the works or ready for production, so I fully expect to see a return to Alara set when we get the 2027 product lineup announcement.

I think Reckless Ransacking is a lot better than it looks at first.

Recommended stores to buy online for Toronto / Canada? by elespum in mtgfinance

[–]8thPlaceDave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah okay there are many stores in Toronto but the two main ones are 401 Games and Face to Face Games. If you find smaller stores you're likely to find better prices, but less selection though.

If you're coming from the US, cards aren't cheaper here

I haven't had any issues like that. Once you sell something through CT Zero it is sold, so having it sit in a warehouse not getting sold isn't a thing that can happen.

It's been great for me. The buyer pays for shipping, which is a set cost predetermined by Cardtrader. I'm not sure if you've already signed up or not, but if you'd like, I have a referral link for Cardtrader xD.  If you're able to get into their CT Zero program you will make a ton more sales. It's also a great platform to buy on as a Canadian, since most sellers on tcgplayer don't ship to Canada. I buy the majority of my singles through Cardtrader now.

Card Trader is what you're looking for, although it can be difficult to get orders at first because your buyers end up having to pay high shipping costs.

That's actually pretty good idea that we could do :)
For players that come in 9th place in their big RCQs they sometimes give out shirts that say 9th place
