Site Update 005

Opus VII is up. Now on to the next Opus? Maybe. We’ll get started on it, but since Opus XIII is right around the corner. We might start focusing on that. But it’s still a long way off. It is?

Yeah, we got a month and a half to go for that.

Other than that, still no news on the Sephiroth Tins. Shadowbringers Starter Decks are coming out next week. As soon as we get them they’ll go up on the site. They’ll be up for Pre-order. But, not before I know how many I’ll have my hands on.

Same thing goes for the Boss Decks. They should be coming out in March, and they will be up for Pre-Order as soon as I have them.

Site Update 004

Well Opus IX is posted. Opus VIII is next and then all the way down to I, then Wave 1. Promo Cards, and Deck Exclusive cards. We’ll get them all up, hopefully before Opus XIII comes out. Trying to get an Opus down a week. If that works good, we’ll be lucky. If not then I’ll have to stop to get Opus XIII up.

In other news we still haven’t gotten the Sephiroth tins. I keep hoping I’ll get a notice that the distributor has received them. I should call them tomorrow to see if they have any news. I know Square-Enix has started sending them out to people who purchased them directly from them, but they made a huge mistake. Instead of sending one tin, they sent out a case. That is probably why the rest of us have not received them yet.
Here’s to getting them in the mail soon.

Site Update 003

Finished up adding Opus X, and now started on Opus IX. It was faster then I expected with the holidays and all. But it has been finished. Now I’m hoping I can get an Opus done each week, but time is not on my side. So, it’ll probably be every two weeks.

We’re still waiting on the Final Fantasy TCG Gift Tins 2 to arrive. We’ll have them up on the site as soon as they arrive.

The holidays are over, so we should be updating the site much more regularly.

Site Update 002

Finished up adding Opus XI. It should have been done earlier, but life got hectic for a while. But, now we’re back to get things moving again. Opus X should take less time. Hopefully, but with Christmas around the corner, it might take a backseat, but it shall be done.

Other than that, it’s time to figure out how to add our social media sites to the side bar. I added the latest YouTube video as you can see on the right side of the screen. Yep, right there. I don’t like how it looks though. Maybe figure out a way to make it look better, somehow.

We’re still waiting on the Final Fantasy TCG Tin Gift Set 2 to arrive. There has been a delay on that from Square-Enix, but hopefully it’ll be here soon. I have plenty of things that will come along with those that, I need for shipping.
Everything else looks good. You can also check our Ebay store, it’s under cardboardcorner. Plenty of items to pick up from there.

And, before posting this update, we added Opus X Fire to Wind. Just Earth, Lightning, Water, Light, Dark, and the Starter cards left to go. I can say by the end of the week these should be ready to go.

One in Every Pack

After the flea market trip, I stumbled upon the Final Fantasy TCG on accident. I had heard about it, but that was years before it released. And, that was a Japan Exclusive. Little did I know that years later it would be released world wide. It was a little after Opus VI released that I saw it at the Gamer’s World at the mall. We had just randomly walked in, and I noticed the booster boxes behind the shelf. Squall, Cloud and Firion were just staring at me.

I just did what any grown man would have done. I bought a whole bunch of Packs and couldn’t wait to get back home to examine all these wonderful packs that I had just gotten. I felt like a kid again. Only this time it wasn’t baseball cards. I don’t even know why I was collecting baseball cards as a kid. I never watched the game, and still to this day I can’t sit and watch a full game. Maybe a couple of innings, if it’s on tv. Or, the 9th inning if its a close game.

Anyways, back on track. Where was I? Ah, yes. I tried getting the family to hurry up on our shopping trip, but to no avail. We had to get the kids clothes, and stuff. Winter coats and the like. I was about to start pounding my feet as we walked from store to store, but I am an adult. Carrying a baby in my arms. It would have been a sight to see if I had started doing that.

But, after what felt like 4 years, 8 months, 13 days, 6 hours, 27 minutes and 14 seconds, it was time to leave. We had finished shopping and were on our way home. Luckily we live 5 minutes from the mall, and got home fast. But, that didn’t mean that we were done. We had to get the kids fed, bathed and put to sleep.

And then, it was finally time to inspect these cards. I grabbed all the packs I had gotten and sat on the couch, nope not on the couch, on the floor. Right in front of the coffee table. I placed all the packs in order, and began to crack these booster packs.

I was excited, after all these years of collecting baseball cards, and then basketball cards, I had finally found trading cards that I would love to collect. Thoughts raced through my head. How many cards are there? 6 Opuses. Is that the plural? Where can I find the rest of all these cards? They had Singles in the display cases. How much are the good cards going for?

Cracking the first pack, it’s all a haze right now, but I know I was hooked. Looking at each card. One by one. I didn’t know about the rarities. I read each card, looked at the picture, and went to the next card. And then I reached the foil card. I thought I got lucky. A rare foil card in my very first pack. And, Then another in the next pack. I must be really lucky! And another ONE!!!!

Then I realized, there’s one in every pack.
