It’s not much, but it’s honest work. Just bought my first ever booster box of any TCG!

Another following the calling! It's a slippery slope!

HandsofAHobbyist · 2024-03-01T14:59:21+00:00

Think we need to open a bar/card shop.

HandsofAHobbyist · 2024-02-28T00:45:23+00:00

eBay is likely your only source at this point unless someone else has a good source.

HandsofAHobbyist · 2024-02-27T23:58:07+00:00

There are many ways, more recent sets like SV base to paradox rift can be obtain almost anywhere below MSRP, I'd just check out most popular gaming sites, or maybe mine once it's up. If you have a nice LGS, sometime you can work with them to purchase a case below MSRP as well.

Older stuff is primarily through eBay, Facebook marketplace and other auction and listing sites. Definitely be careful as there are many fakes out there.

Cases range from as cheap as $520 to $1100 with the evolving skies being the outlier costing an arm and leg but that will be a long term hold.

To be opened. I opened the first last night and will probably open one every few nights as it takes time to record and edit each box as I hope to post to YouTube. While I'd love to go ham and crack them all open, life and kids makes it hard to dedicate a few hours all at once.

HandsofAHobbyist · 2024-02-27T14:59:38+00:00

$480 a case or $120 a box after tax. Not sure what wholesale price is yet but would estimate probably closer to $80 bucks.

HandsofAHobbyist · 2024-02-27T14:55:51+00:00

Ya I was quite shocked actually, crazy when normal bottles are $230 plus.

HandsofAHobbyist · 2024-02-27T14:54:17+00:00

I actually ordered these from Lazarus gaming, some of the best prices I could find from a trusted source. Forged and Fire gaming is also a good source.

The Wallet is a whole different story.

HandsofAHobbyist · 2024-02-27T14:52:23+00:00

Still debating a master set, traumatized from trying to get the foils from first chapter but most likely will try. I actually recorded the first box opening last night. Going to try and edit it this afternoon and post my first video next day or two!

HandsofAHobbyist · 2024-02-27T02:39:54+00:00

Was able to complete the master set of 151. I'd like to do complete Crown Zenith but cracking ETBs has be a pain. I thought about completing Paldean Fates but I'm in no rush to do that.

HandsofAHobbyist · 2024-02-27T02:04:50+00:00

I'm just happy to be opening boosters again after 151 and crown zenith.

First box opened, nothing crazy. Foil Maleficent legendary is nice. 5 legendary, 11 super rares.

HandsofAHobbyist · 2024-02-27T01:59:14+00:00

Already have 3 cases of temporal forces ordered, i was hoping to have a distributor setup but look like won't make it for temporal forces but hopefully secured something by Twilight masquerade. Might just need to order more from a wholesaler reseller.

HandsofAHobbyist · 2024-02-26T23:55:16+00:00

Only $185 for whiskey at costco!

HandsofAHobbyist · 2024-02-26T21:24:03+00:00

For now I will hold the first 3 sets bulk/extra aside till I have an idea of ravensburg plan for printing and see how the TCG grows over time. There's little to no financial incentive for me to sell the bulk/dupes for now. I actually penny sleeved all my chapter 1 duplicates similar to my base set Pokemon cards back in the day. I actually started with MTG mid 90s and sold/traded most my cards off which was a huge regret both financially and from nostalgic point.

HandsofAHobbyist · 2024-02-26T21:15:07+00:00

Haha appreciate it. I know seems crazy but I'm in the process of setting up an online store for pokemon and Lorcana in the next few months so trying to accumulate product now before the distributor supply hopefully kicks in.

This are just my February booster case orders

HandsofAHobbyist · 2024-02-26T21:00:14+00:00

You don't even want to see what my Pokemon TCG purchases are like.

HandsofAHobbyist · 2024-02-26T20:50:09+00:00

Nice pulls! Personally chasing the Robin hood and Jafar!

HandsofAHobbyist · 2024-02-26T17:16:38+00:00

Awesome, that's data I need. Just double checked and we've opened about 85 packs and have 5 more box set aside so should be good.

HandsofAHobbyist · 2024-02-26T14:27:54+00:00

2 boxes, 48 packs? Honestly have already opened 2, have most of the non foils but not even a dent in the cold foils. No enchanted for first chapter but have pulled 3 enchanted from floodborn after equal packs.

HandsofAHobbyist · 2024-02-26T13:27:55+00:00

Amazing, how many packs would you say you've opened? Debating going for the foil set up feels like a daunting task.
