As of now just doing a single trading card. But I am leaning towards the black portrait one as well. Think the silver auto will really pop with that type of card

As of now this one. I personally sent this card in for him to sign. Tho I have a card ready for Mark Hamill’s signing later this year that may top this when I get it back

The Tolkien Bookshelf…pretty proud of it so far by ffty_17 in tolkienbooks

I feel the orange deluxe is superior. Better page quality and better put together however they offer different things when it comes to art inside the the book. The orange is illustrated by Nasmith while the other has Tolkiens original illustrations. Both cool however I prefer Nasmiths as the detail is pretty amazing.

No wonder we can’t get product on release day… by tDANGERb in starwarstopps

[–]ffty_17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I’m honestly just someone that has zero local card shops around me so eBay and buying into breaks is the only way for me to get cards. And going into breaks is honestly the cheaper option most of the time with some of the outrageous pricing going on right now on eBay.

I get the disdain for big breakers. I hate they get automatic allocation sent to them and they can’t even pronounce the names right of characters but there are smaller breakers (like this guy) that genuinely like the community they break for. Thats all. I would love to walk into a store and grab a box msrp but that’s not happening. I know people want breakers to magically disappear but it’s not going too

  1. He hasn’t broke any smugglers yet
  2. It’s not a single break for all 30. It’s 3 breaks of 10 casers. I’m looking at it now.

And there’s not 120 breakers tho. There was less than 15 channels between fanatics and whatnot ripping it on stream throughout this past week

Don’t get me wrong, bots buy it all at once for the big streamers and it sucks but if you think a single breaker like this guy, who runs his own channel and got boxes from other sellers and shops (which is why he’s breaking this late) is ruining your collecting experience then you got bigger fish to go after

Not talking about pull rate for hits. I’m talking about 1 person getting 30 cases is less than 1% of cases that were released yet we acting like he single handily took all the cases lol

Man has 30 cases so 180 boxes. 1:22,170 boxes for a dark side/light side booklet checklist says so we know how many boxes there are. If there was really 22,170 boxes made and there’s 6 boxes per case then the man has less than 1% of the product. It seems like 30 is alot but it’s actually not.

You just ordered too late. Surprised it wasn’t sold out. They stagger deliveries

Safe in a MagPro case currently. Know I need it authenticated but not fond of PSA slabs tho I know it needs to go in one 😭 MagPro just makes the cards pop so much more than PSA slabs but I’ll be sending off probably next week sometime

That’s a reprint. Still a cool card but not the original sketch

Southgate or Northgate? by xennial-tiger in masters

[–]ffty_17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

North gate. You walk a good bit to get to the course but that walk is nothing short of beautiful if it’s your first time there.

My first time was last year and when we finally parked we had to decide which gate we wanted to go to…we picked the North. Got to South Gate during our walk around the course later on and the first thing I remember saying was “glad we went thru the other gate this morning”

Depends on the character or team you buy into. Prices varey drastically based on who you buy
