I didn’t feel like going through the Magic Bulk today. So, I restocked Opus XIX – From Nightmares on TCG Player and eBay. I just had to look at something different today. I’m surprised how much some of these cards went up. That’s what we like to call Supply and Demand, and there sure was demand for them, cause some of those singles are already out the door.

But, I finished with that fairly quick, so I started sorting MTG Bulk. I just can’t get away from them sometimes, and other times, I can’t get any. It’s always like that, you either have too much or too little. I prefer too much, that way it’ll keep me busy for days to come.

Also listed some MTG Bulk lots on eBay. Might get some on here as well.

I tried organizing the office again, that will always be a work in progress.

Stay tuned for information regarding Journey of Discovery Midnight Pre-Release!

Start of the week, so let’s get our Monday work done. That includes our Weekend in Review, and the Card of the Day, for Instagram and Facebook.

After that, we got down to do our MTG Bulk. went through 2015 and 2016 today, lots of cards listed on TCG Player, and lots of cards for our bulk lots, that should be going up tomorrow or today, depending on when you read this.

I had to start organizing the office again. Especially since Journey of Discovery is right around the Korner. Speaking of which, that means Midnight Pre-Release is right around the Korner as well. And, you know what that means. You’ll have a chance to win a Prerelease Kit, simply by showing up and joining Prerelease.

Details will be going up shortly.

We got our tickets!

I had promised the kids that we would go to a Chicago Fire match this year, but I got stuck at the restaurant all Summer. Couldn’t get away on the weekends. And that’s when they usually play.

But tonight, a Wednesday, is the Wild Card. Chicago Fire vs Orlando City, this might be their last game of the Season, so we better get over there.

First things first though. We got to take care of our business.

Mostly MTG bulk again. Got through 2013. That year is all done.

Also worked on a couple of reviews for Journey of Discovery. That is a long process and the more I get done during Spoiler Season the easier it is with the release.

Well on to the Match.

We didn’t tell the kids we were going to go see the Fire tonight, so we picked up some food and headed to Toyota Park .. I mean Seatgeek Stadium. It’ll always be Toyota Park to me. We parked in the parking lot and they were oblivious to what was going on around them.

Once they realized it they got excited. I didn’t expect it to be so cold, Me and Naki went in with t-shirts and a Jacket, My wife and Ana, had hoodies and coats on and beanies. I had to pick up a hoodie for the little one. But, we probably would have bought one anyway.

Now I’m looking into getting the MLS Season Pass through T-Mobile. It says it’s free for me, I just have to figure out how to do it.

10/13

We have plenty to do this week. And, next week and the week after that.

Journey of Discovery is right around the Korner and we need to get ready. We already started with our review. I usually don’t like doing them until after I made the first video for it, but that puts so much on our plate right on release, that we’d rather do it a little at a time over the course of Spoiler Season.

What did we do today?

The usual Social Media posts, and this post as well. For last week.

Since we finished with the first sort of our MTG bulk, we’re going on to the yearly sort, and right after that set sort. Started with the 90’s . I actually fond 1 Unlimited card in there, but it was beat up a lot. It’s still exciting.

We listed the years 93 to some of 95, and we have to reach 2025.

10/14

Finished the 90’s. For Magic that is. 3 more decades to go. 2 and a half if you want to be exact.

And, that was how the whole day was spent.

I did take the wife and kids out for Soccer, cause that is what we do now. It also helps me get some exercise. I feel it every time I try and run at full force. Out of breath in two minutes, if I’m lucky. After that I just jog, and try and keep up with the little ones.

Got the kids ready for school, and we played 99 Nights in the Forest. We reached Day 52. We’re halfway there. I bought the Brawler class, and I am liking it so far. The only thing I don’t like is not being able to use ranged weapons. I rarely use them, but sometimes you just need to.

10/15

Still sorting and listing Magic. I only got through 2000. The year that is. 25 to go, and if I do at least a year a day, I should have them all done before Journey of Discovery comes out.

It was the kids’ last Soccer Practice today before the final tournament. They are all hyped. The coach had them play a Scrimmage match through out the whole practice. Which was good, they were all running around having fun. And, at that age that is what they should be doing.

I was too tired to do anything when I went home. I just had the kids do their homework, and that was it for all of us. They fell asleep quick, and then so did I.

10/16

Just focused on the MTG Bulk once again. We got to get through it, as quickly as possible.

Other than that, slowly getting ready for Journey of Discovery. It’s coming sooner than you all think. And, so far these cards are looking great. Lot’s of fun stuff to play.

Got orders ready to ship, and played 99 Nights in the Forest with the kids.

That was about it for today.

10/17

It’s going to be all about Magic Bulk again. Finished listing the 2000s. And started sorting the 10s. These were the most in the whole bulk lot I got, and I figured they will probably just take all day. And, I was right. I didn’t even get a chance to finish, when I had to leave to go to the Fall Fest at the kids school.

It wasn’t too bad, the pizza was decent, and the mac and cheese needed salt. Yeah, I’m not too big on public events. I did see a couple of friends there and that was about it.

Went home, played 99 Nights in the Forest, and put the kids to sleep because tomorrow was their tournament.

10/18

It’s today, the tournament we’ve been waiting for all year.

We got up early, and off we went.

We lost both games and didn’t make it to the Play Offs. My kids forgot to turn it on today. They both seemed out of it, but they did have fun, there was a whole party for everyone involved with AYSO. Free Food, and drinks! Can’t say no to that.

The rest of the day was off. It started when I went to get things for the restaurant and I forgot the card at home. That’s always smart.

I just had to get through the rest of the day, my eyes were burning, my brain was fried, I was just ready to go home and close my eyes.

10/19

Finished up sorting the 10s today. And, it’s giving me a headache. All the cards from 2009-2014. Why? Because of how they printed the year. I thought this whole time it was cause my eyes were going bad. Turns out it’s not my eyes, cause even with my glasses on I can barely see the year. Especially with Red cards. Those are just terrible, I have to look at the set symbol to figure it out.

Started listing them as well.

Had to do some running around. Got orders ready to be shipped.

I tried to go play some Soccer with my kids, but one of them was sick, so we scratched that idea, and played 99 Nights in the Forest.

I’ve been looking online at it, and I’ve noticed that a lot of parents are playing this game with their kids. I can’t blame them, it’s a fun game. Probably the best Roblox game out there. And I’ve played a few that my kids say are good games, but they aren’t.

This is where it’s at.
