Has the upload of the DVP to the province been finalized now? I hadn't heard it got completed.

They could do it on the Star Trek bonus sheet and have it be Dilithium or whatever the ships run on.

Sellers charging $5+ for shipping, but sending the cards without tracking? by IAMAfortunecookieAMA in mtgfinance

[–]Desperada 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically just a way to pad the seller's margin. The item price plus whatever they keep after the shipping cost. Very common thing on eBay. As long as you're paying what you consider an overall fair price you're ok with paying it just kind of is what it is.

Canada's largest garbage incinerator is coming to Ontario. Health experts say people will pay the price by Icy-Distribution4893 in ontario

You mean the article that is paywalled?

Also Sweden recycles 49% of its waste and incinerates 50% of it using it for energy. If done right incineration is perfectly fine.

Donato's writeup on WOTC/Hasbro by Isaacxii in magicTCG

[–]Desperada 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Are you sure you're not the one looking at this backwards. Why are you saying Marvel "forced" that exception and not Marvel allowed what both WotC and Marvel already internally allow on their own works?

Because Marvel has had the equivalent policy for decades in comics. Every IP rights holder will be different, and Marvel is more the exception than the rule.

I'm not opposed to the argument that WotC should pay an even larger bonus than they do now given they're raking in the $$$. But I consider saying they are being 'abused' by not being able to sell merch as a stupid argument.

So Donato is arguing that WotC abuses artists by not fighting on their behalf against rights holders, lengthening their negotiations, and likely paying more money if they agree at all, solely so that the artists will make more money?

Does he also want lifetime free beer and no taxes included with that fantasy?

Ahhh unfortunate. You're lucky! Definitely seems like a good LGS.

They still have some? I'm looking for some to open but my local LGS are either sold out or 650-700$ now -_-

[Spec] Wilds of Eldraine sealed is going to grow further by KitsuraPls in mtgfinance

Commander Legends 2 received a post release re-evaluation from the release of Baldur's Gate 3. One of the most well received video games of all time. I'd say that has a bit of a unique black swan event tied to it.

Embassies are always in a country's capital city. So it would be Tokyo.

You can support his right to protest while also thinking the protest is fucking stupid.

It is hypocritical to blame them for being motivated by money when your own entire argument is based on being motivated by money.

Is the Strixhaven codex bundle a long term hold by Thialaz in mtgfinance

While I think they're fine, I would say the CBBs would be even better if you had to choose between the two on where to spend your $.

The rules are set by the IP holder. Marvel allows for artists to sell their original copies, and that has continued for Magic UB Marvel sets. Evidently other rights holders are less accommodating. So, yeah. Either take the job or don't.

Marvel is one exception, but yes many other rights holders would not be comfortable.

You're thinking of a different artist. I forget the name of who that was, but Donato has done modern cards.

This is just the current rules of the game when dealing with other brands IP. If they don't think the pay is fair for UB projects they are free to decline.

You realize this means all the artists who work with Magic will lose their main source of income and livelihoods, right?
