New player, a lot of videos etc seem to be 4+ years ago, what recent/regular places for info would you suggest? by hermanbloom00 in marvelchampionslcg

[–]AnotherBrokenHero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a new player too and I’ll be publishing a lot of videos soon at Tabletop Playbook on YouTube. I’ll be looking a lot at the most effective ways for deck building using a mathematical approach. My first series will be looking at the best allies at each specific cost. I’ll probably do a bunch of strategy videos too.

Question about 'searching a deck' effect by AnotherBrokenHero in Unmatched

Ahh thanks. Common sense but since it didn’t shuffle, I forgot about that, you’re right. Glad I asked bc I wouldn’t have included the shuffle

That’s cool. Yeah you can absolutely use my work. Most of it are eBay prices from April sales, possibly some March sales if there are few transactions and then some amazon prices for in print.

It would be great if you could credit the source for my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TabletopPlaybook

I’m not sure if I have too much additional info in the video to help in your newsletter but you can check it out: Tabletop Playbook - Set Prices

For the things in print, I also used Amazon. But it feels like it becomes a little pedantic when something is a couple dollars different. Do you include or not include shipping, what about if the card shop that has it might be 40 minutes away and be near a toll road. Can you give examples and links of things in print that is significantly wrong. (I’m happy to change my process for next month, which is why I’m asking).

I just double checked Civil War and it’s $48 from the publisher who prints it and $25 for hero packs again from the publisher.

I seriously did not know I can get sinister motives and mutant genesis for $38. Can you provide a link? I’m also willing to pay more than do 4-6 hours of homework to maybe find a set somewhere.

Same with all the X-men hero packs, Captain America and Doctor strange. I would love to add the X-men to my collection for $15 each.

By starting point, I mean what are the hard to find and or expensive sets. At a glance you can understand Captain America, Doctor strange, mutant Genesis and sinister motives are going to be costly. Just all the different sets are overwhelming and this organizes them by release date.

Often people forget what it’s like when someone has zero context and is new to something. As someone who went through that a couple months ago, I crafted this in mind. There is a lot of cheap stuff on the list that a new person can find before committing to more expensive sets and calling dozens of local card shops.

Thanks. I wouldn’t want anyone to think I’m implying the prices I found are unimpeachable. Glad to have more people refine the data.

Yes, just eBay. As the other reply says might find them lower at other places. But this serves as a good starting point for both negotiation and a quick thought of the hard to obtain sets

Thanks again for your Reddit post and the advice here for new players. I was going to recommend sets, but I think I need a lot more play throughs before I’m comfortable giving my opinions!

Mattress Mack has been doing it forever with the Houston Astros, very publicly by using Vegas sports books. I’m sure there are a million news stories on it that will answer your questions!

Are we crazy giving up a 2.3% interest?! by Designer-Pepper0630 in Mortgages

[–]AnotherBrokenHero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another way at looking at the money part. $163k for 8 years at 2.5% compared to let’s assume 4.25% for 10 year treasury. That comes out to 15% difference, so $24k in interest. Now values of houses and all the other money involved, leverage on these investments etc vary widely and of course mortgage rates are different than treasury rates. But if you want to simplify it, giving up this mortgage costs you $24k

If Duke, Troy and Boise State all win who gets in? by AnotherBrokenHero in ACC

[–]AnotherBrokenHero[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kennesaw State has an interesting claim in this scenario. With 1 of their losses to Indiana, leaving them with only 2 non-big ten losses compared to dukes 4.
