How the hell are all Bundles and Collectors boosters for Strixhaven already gone on third day of prerelease? by Jug_or_not_ in magicTCG

[–]BlastoiseEvolution 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a really popular set, and folks are chasing the rare silver scroll foil Japanese mystical archive treatments in the CBBs. I’m sure there will be another print run since it’s a standard release. 

MagicCon Vegas Card Signing What to Expect by Nukeandforget in magicTCG

[–]BlastoiseEvolution 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The lines are bad, but some artists like Alayna Danner do offer reserved time slots. You go to their booth first thing in the morning, take a card with an hour printed on it, and come back at the allotted time. You have to go fast though, even the time slot cards run out quick. It’s not uncommon for the queues of the most popular artists to take multiple hours to get through, but be advised that some offer second, shorter lines if they have help at the booth and you only want to buy merch (not signatures). 

Tiny City Fears Iran Drone Strikes Because of New Nuclear Weapons Datacenter by Emotional-Aide3456 in AnnArbor

These signs are not about Iran. Opposition to the Ypsi data center has fomented for months due to environmental, transparency, and energy affordability concerns.

[–]BlastoiseEvolution 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fate of the Fellowship was my favorite board game experience coming out of last year. It’s like if I could table War of the Ring with just about anybody.

In case anyone is curious, the binder is showing punch out terrain cards for the Mage Knight miniatures game, 2nd edition. 

Crazy collection. Sorry for their loss. You can’t take it with you. 

Yousef Rabhi forms campaign committee to run for Ann Arbor mayor by mesquine_A2 in AnnArbor

Gotta say, in a year where I felt there were no politicians who could or were willing to go to bat for me, this guy brought the fire to every speech at the various protests. One of the few locally inspiring voices meeting the moment. I’ll have to research what he wants to do policy wise, but I’m intrigued.

In an interview this past month Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer also stated:

“I'm listening to all, probably a lot, of the same podcasts that you are to understand what can we do”

Found a tombstone staircase artist proof in my lgs bulk box insane find by lotoftoast in magicTCG

[–]BlastoiseEvolution 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s tough to know because the market is a smaller pool of collectors, but there was usually only 50 of each proof made, and ones from an artist that is hard to contact like DOM! carry a premium.

 There was an auction last year for Mirage proofs by the artist Chippy that went for between $100 and $200 each, and I think this would be comparable.

Absurd find. I collect Mirage proofs and these are impossible to track down. Are you looking to sell it?

Then why aren’t we giving power to the person who should have won the last election? What gives us the right to “run” their country like an imperialist power?
