PLEASE READ - IMPORTANT UPDATES

Added 2019-11-18 23:34:53 +0000 UTC

Lots of updates and exciting things happening everyone.

Force of Will trading card game new set "Alice Origin" will go on sale TOMORROW. New box design is 20 packs per box and the price is CHEAP, i will only be selling by the case only. Will sell out within 24 hours. Demand for FoW remains "flat" i do NOT see any growth in the player base nor am i seeing a decline.

Commander 2019 is now shipping from Wizards to distributors, the restock is NOT as large as expected. But i will be able to get enough to offer another batch to the patrons at the same price as release. Based on estimated numbers, i expect Commander 2019 to appreciate faster than Commander 2018 due to a higher single card value and tighter supply on the restock. Expect the final sale of these within the next 2 weeks.

Mystery Booster boxes contain 24 booster packs instead of 36 packs. MSRP is $5-$6 per pack, no word yet on supply numbers, but this will be offered to patrons at release date since it will NOT have an allocation period. I dont know the price yet. I personally believe this is going to be a very successful product, similar to the MH1 product line.

Throne of Eldraine Booster boxes are starting to come off allocation. Wizards is starting to ship distributors large supply of boxes. This means, they should land in the distributor warehouses within the next 7-10 days. So it is looking like Throne Boxes will be on the December 1st patron list for 79.99 shipped in addition to other Pioneer/standard boxes.

Pioneer continues to show very impressive demand and appears to be here to stay. Unlike the frontier format that failed. It is looking like this is here to stay and will cause substantial impact to anyone holding sealed boxes from 2013 forward.

Throne collectors boxes appeared to have bottomed at $240.00 on ebay and now are continuing to uptick back to the $270's+ I still believe these will be $400-$450 within 18 months due to lack of supply. I do not believe the cards inside will appreciate. Similar to the Shards of Alara all foil box from 12 years ago.

Modern Horizons has NOT had any additional print runs but wizards is still shipping product from the 2nd print run from months ago. No idea how much product wizards is sitting on.

Vintage / Reserved list cards are still in a bear market with no sign of a turn around. Use caution but slowly building a position into this old stuff is probably going to yield extraordinary returns for anyone who can hold for long term. Use Caution.

With continued price increases worldwide and e-commerce being crushed with sales tax and rising shipping fees on ebay/tcgplayer and most large stores with websites charging hidden fees/taxes. I believe the demand for patrons signing up and the demand for "CHEAP" magic boxes will continue to push upward. In addition, a LOT of mtg players simply like the idea of communicating directly with me and having "real" conversations and getting unfiltered personal responses.

Simply put, within the next 12 months, if the number of patrons pushes over 4,100 i will have to close ALL patron slots to prevent anyone new from signing up in the future. I feel any higher and i will not be able to reply to all the message and give the personal service that i feel needs to be done for supporters.

Thank you to everyone for allowing me to run this Youtube/Cardboard empire
