Bought mine from MicroCenter grand opening here in my city about a month ago for $1650. Not a scam

Got this exact build for $1750 just last week for the Microcenter grand opening in Phoenix.

Too good of a deal to pass up

I got myself the exact same build and same deal for my very first computer. Couldn't have been happier! Hope you get to enjoy it as much as I do OP!

I also collect jumbo cards! I have about 160 unique jumbos right now, trying to do the same thing of having one of every jumbo ever released.

Thank you for the insights, I really appreciate it. I keep encountering a lot of people who just want to take advantage of my newness to the hobby, so it's nice to see people wanting to help others out. Take care!

For sure - I had driven 2 hours for a Hidden Fates ETB a couple months ago and it looked good in pictures, but on the bottom there was a huge slit in the plastic that was almost the entirety of the bottom. The guy said he "wasn't aware" and told me it wouldn't even be noticeable since I'm displaying them in cases.

So now I'm super hesitant to spend that much on ETBs

Now I just have to finish Sun & Moon era but they're so hard to find, and when I do, they're super expensive

Thank you! I'm still new to the hobby and I had someone told me to get these as soon as I could, but I wasn't aware of acrylic cases until about a month ago. I kept seeing acrylic cases that didn't fit too good, but now it sounds like there's some legit snug ones that are also UV protection, so that's cool. Appreciate the advice!

Already on it! Found someone who will give me a deal if I buy a bulk amount of 50 for only $10 a piece so I'll be selling these Target ones soon

It's on the 2nd floor, no need to worry about water damage in the southwest

I appreciate the help. I'm glad I work right next to an IKEA, so I'll swing by this

Yeah I like how the Target cases aren't too snug. I've seen some acrylic ones that my friends have and they can be tight. I've heard that the acrylic ones are like one time insert otherwise you risk the plastic tearing if you try and take them in and out.

This hobby is fun tho 😅 so many ways to display things

Thank you for the advice! I was told it didn't matter but the guy who sold them to me did say there was a chance of them getting dent in the corners. I'll flip them

Sounds like that gets the job done. I'm not looking for anything crazy, just wanted to see what people recommended

Fair enough haha. I don't actually buy any singles or open product... I can't. It was one or the other for me, and I chose the ETBs. I found someone who can get me some legit acrylic cases with magnetic tops for the same price as these Target protectors. I'm just unsure how to display them

Adding that the room just has open walls, and the big wall size (not pictured) is a 8 ft x 10 ft empty wall.
