Kardboard Fantasy – Crystal Korners

09/29
Today as always is get ready for this week. First things first, finish up the week in review, and Card of the Days for Instagram and Facebook.

Next we have a release this week. Actually a few releases. We have the 2025 Starter Sets Vol. 1 and Vol. 2. Plus there are a bunch of sleeves that are coming out this week. Called up my distributor, and they said that the Starters still didn’t arrive yet, but they arrived at a few of their other locations, so they should be showing up any day now. We’ll just take care of all that tomorrow.

I wish that was all for Monday, but it’s not.

My Jeep broke down on my way home. That wasted a couple of hours waiting for Triple A to show up. I asked for a tow, and they sent someone to check my battery. Go. figure. The car started up again, and I drove the rest of the way, slowly. I had the Triple A guy follow me, cause I didn’t want to get stranded again. Parked the car and now I got to figure out the warranty and what it covers. And, then I need to find a place to take it to.

09/30

The last part of this month has been slow. Orders just trickled in. We can’t have that. So what do we do? We buy more Bulk. Well we’re always buying bulk, but now it seems like we ran out of cards. I’ll leave a reminder here that we will buy your bulk that you don’t want. $10 per 1,000 cards

Called my distributor early, and the Starter Sets are at their warehouse. Along with some Card Sleeves that I forgot all about! Sounds like a good way to kick it into high gear again.

I was pretending to be an electrician tonight. If you remember, I was trying to install a ceiling fan last week and kept tripping the breaker. This time I turned it off before hand, this way I can’t trip it. It was easier than I thought it would be. So, if you need an Electrician, for something simple, give is a call. We’re Electrifying!

Installed some more lights in the Kitchen and called it a night.

10/01

Waiting on UPS.

Still Waiting.

It’s getting late now, let me check the tracking. It never left the warehouse. And, I was planning on doing the Unboxing tonight. Guess we’ll have to leave that for tomorrow.

Soccer Practice at night, but now they started Greek Dance and it’s on Wednesdays, that means we got to rush straight from the School to the soccer fields.

10/02

Our Starter Sets arrived today, we started getting everyone’s orders together and sending them out. Also got a bunch of sleeves in, check them out if you haven’t already.

It was one of our daughters birthday today, so we had a small party at the house.

What’s left?

Time to make a video, we checked out the Starter Sets, that is on YouTube if you want to check it out.

10/03

Spoiler Season is here, and that means that we’re going to be getting ready for Journey of Discovery. That means we’re going to start working on our opinion articles on the set, and since the Starter Sets are already out, we will be getting those done first. Expect those to drop sometime next week.

Worked on some listings today. From both Starter Sets they are both on TCG Player and eBay. And, I’ve go to say those went fast.

10/04

It’s game day, we got a couple more games to go before the tournament starts on October 18th.

I’ve got to say these kids make me proud, my son plays his heart out, and my daughter needs a little push, but she tries. We lost 2-1 today. It’s the first time we’ve scored a goal in a couple of weeks. Needless to say, my son scored the goal, off a Free Kick, from behind the half line. It was probably 30 yards away from the goal, but at his age that is pretty far. Sure, it might have been cause the other goalie wasn’t the greatest. But the ball went in. Even though it stopped rolling once it passed the line.

The coach has him doing all of the Free Kicks, Goal Kicks Corners, they are all on him now.

My daughter on the other hand, she is a bit reserved. She’s a little scared to get into it with the other kids, but she was hustling. I did tell her that if she tried I would get them a some Italian Ice after. I think that did the trick for her. She started chasing the ball down. She likes cats, so I told her to be a tiger on the field. She made some stops. And, she was trying to stay focused, she gets easily distracted and likes to day dream.

10/05

Early morning at the restaurant, and everyone was late today. And, of course that’s when everybody decides they want some Gyros. They all came in, and I had to take care of the rush. Luckily it only lasted an hour.

Got home, and I told my son that we will be going out to practice soccer everyday. He was trying to do a bicycle kick. He nearly has it. We started working on his foot work, that’s probably what he needs the most. But it’s mostly about having fun, so we don’t really focus on drills or anything, maybe I’ll show him something and we’ll do it for 5 minutes. After that it’s all fun and games. Sometimes he wants to be the goalie, he enjoys that when I shoot it at him.

Took care of all of the Weekends orders. And, now it’s time to get ready for the upcoming week.

Kardboard Fantasy VI

09/22

Let’s start off the week right. Or just what we usually do. Finish up our “Week in Review” and get the Card of the Day scheduled for Instagram and Facebook.

30 day plan, and it said work on your Main Menu. And, our Main Menu is small and easy to navigate, so we didn’t have much to do for that today.

Tried installing the new lights, and for some reason I kept tripping the breaker. I had the lights off, which is usually enough to take make the change. I gave up as it was getting late. I’ll work on it tomorrow while I have some day light.

09/23

Got a new workstation for Kardboard Korner. A new/old workstation. Got to format it, and bring it back to it’s factory settings before I do anything with it. That will take up most of the day. But, luckily you don’t really need to stay on top of it, just take a look every now and then to make sure it doesn’t crash. Which it already did.

Starting to work on Rebellion’s Call today. A quick sort, and I should be able to do the restock tomorrow.

Had to do some running around for the restaurant which put my lights on the back burner. Plus I took a nice nap. I had laid down for 5 minutes, and I was out.

09/24

I got a new laptop. The old one has been around since 2009. And, it’s still running strong .. ish. It will still get the job done, it’s just that whole Windows update. As of next month they will stop supporting Windows 10 and that old computer won’t run Windows 11. They’re forcing me to buy a new computer.

Actually, I was already looking before hand, probably a couple of years now, but you know what they say. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.

Kids had an early day at school, and Soccer practice afterwards. I had them do all of their chores and homework before hand, so we can spend the night playing 99 Nights in the Forest.

We tied our previous record. For some reason we just can’t get passed the 33rd day.

 09/25

Started the day off working on the Rebellion’s Call restock on TCG Player and eBay.

Spent the whole afternoon painting. I always think that it’s only going to take an hour or so, and it never is that quick. Especially when you’re painting the kitchen. Cutting it in took the longest.

I spent the rest of the night chatting with AI. Gemini to be exact, and for whatever topic you decide to talk to it about, I would always tell it to respond with no filter. This way it will respond to you with information that will actually help you. If you don’t, I’ve noticed that AI is more of a hype man than anything else.

09/26

Listed new Rebellion’s Call Foils on eBay.

I keep trying to figure out these BeyBlades that I got in July. But, every time I just lose interest in them as soon as I look at them. I’ll give it one more shot, if not, I’m just going to sell them as a Bulk Lot.

09/27

It’s Game Day. And, what a game it was. we lost 6-0. Technically it was 5-0 but they didn’t call an Off Side. The kids was hanging out with our keeper while our line was at the midfield. Any way, I just figured out these are all just Exhibition matches, until the Tournament starts.

My kids were great. I never felt more proud. My son ran, bumped the attacker off the ball, stole the ball and went on to counter attack all by himself. Where he was swallowed by 5 of the opposing teams players. It was a play I wish I recorded.

The ref gave him a warning, but the bump was perfectly legal it’s called a Fair Charge.

My daughter played good too, she was a Forward in this match. She created a lot of chances for herself, but she never took a shot. We’ll have to practice on that this week.

09/28

This Sunday was a lazy day.

Other than taking care of the Weekends orders, I just played 99 Nights in the Forest with the little ones.

And, then I played by myself. And, it’s a lot easier when you play by yourself. Sure, trying to get the Cultists alone is a bit harder, but there’s less of them to make up for it.

Picked up my wife after a concert she went to with her cousin, and we stopped by Lawrence Fisheries. Got a late night snack, and then it was off to bed.

The Week In Kardboard

09/15

Monday morning comes with the usual. Finish up this weekly recap, and the Card of the Day for Instagram and Facebook.

Other than that, it’s more or less leftover orders from the weekend.

Took the kids out to play soccer today, I haven’t done that in a while, and I’m feeling it. My legs were tired, but I enjoy it.

09/16

30 day plan.

I forgot all about this. I need to get back on track with this. Day 14. Fix the About Us section.

Again?

I thought I did that a couple of months ago.

Restock for Crystal Dominion on TCG Player and eBay.

09/17

Had a few Legacy Collection cards laying around, so I listed them on TCG Player. I got a whole bunch of boxes a while back, and nobody wants them. That’s kind of weird, maybe that means I should open them up. I haven’t done a video in a while.

Soccer Practice for the kids, we went early again and played for a bit before the coaches arrived. After that we got dinner at Wendy’s, homework, and played a game of 99 Nights.

09/18

Listed a bunch of Crystal Dominion on eBay. These ones aren’t just a restock, new foils mostly. If you need some, we got some.

We took the kids out for Soccer. That was all afternoon.

Started sorting Emissaries of Light. That’s up next for a restock.

09/19
Well, you guessed it. Restock of Emissaries of Light on TCG Player and eBay. Also listed new foils from Emissaries of Light on eBay as well.

There’s more stuff going on in the background, things I mentioned before, but I won’t speak about them until we have something going. I’ll drop hints here and there, but that’s about it.

09/20

The weekend is here, and it’s games day. Today the kids lost 4-0. And, my kids played the worst they ever did. It’s probably my fault, I had them up late. So, next week they are going to sleep early. Can’t have them fall behind on things that they enjoy doing.

I thought I was going to take my kids to a birthday party, but then they said that they didn’t want to go. That’s strange. I usually am all day at the restaurant on Saturday, but it looks like I got the night off. So, I took a nap. A long nap. And, then I went to get dinner and went back to bed.

09/21

Had to take care of things for the restaurant today. Things that I should have done yesterday.

Got home, got stuff ready to take to Storage, went to Menards, picked up a bunch of Light Fixtures. Some of those lights will be for the videos.

After that I just finished up the Weekends orders and headed to bed early. ish.

The Lost Korner

I lost everything I wrote up to Friday. I guess the memory on this Computer took a vacation with the 4th of July weekend. And, now it’s my job to figure out what I did this week. Might be a shorter week in review post. Maybe I’ll start calling this “The Kardboard Diary” Or the Kardboard Ledger.

Let’s see now.

I started chatting with AI, and asked it to give me a no filter review about Kardboard Korner. It said something along the lines of an outdated website that hasn’t been updated in years.

I’ll just copy what it said.

“KardboardKorner.com, based on a critical, unfiltered assessment of a hypothetical (but likely accurate) user experience, probably suffers from an outdated design and potentially limited features compared to leading e-commerce platforms. The website itself might not be providing the best possible user experience or effectively showcasing their products.

However, this critique of the website needs to be balanced against their strong reputation as a seller. It appears they excel at the core aspects of their business – accurate product delivery, excellent customer service, and reliable shipping – which is arguably more important than a flashy website. The website’s primary function is likely to facilitate sales, and if it’s doing that, even with its shortcomings, their strong back-end operations are clearly compensating for a less-than-stellar front-end.”

That means we need to get to it, and make it Flashy and all that other stuff Gemini said.

So, we asked it for a 30 day plan, and we started on it. Backed up the Website on Day 1. Day 2 Made sure that the website was secure. Day 3 Tried making the site load faster. I’d like to day that we accomplished all of that and now it’s on to Day 4 which we’ll start today.

We’re also looking into getting our online presence more present, if that makes sense. We’re also looking at making our Facebook and Instagram pages more engaging as well. We’re starting off with these 2 because they are integrated together, and can be done at the same time with just a little bit additions to Facebook.

We hit the Flea Market on Wednesday, and I was talking to one of the Vendors, and they told me Robbins on Tuesday is where it’s at. And, that’s where I’ll be on Tuesday.

Saturday, the day after the 4th, we hit up the Swap, and it was dead. Doesn’t mean that we didn’t find anything though. Super Nintendo with all the cables and controllers, also picked up a couple of N64 games.

Found a new, let’s say market in Crestwood. It’s on Sundays, so I’m going to go and check that out this week.

We did restock Opus V this week. It’s already up on eBay, and TCG Player.

Well, that was the most important things that happened this week. Now, it’s time to go to the next one.
