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.

Site Update 001

Well, as you can see the shop is now functional. I’m slowly adding cards. Opus XII is done minus the Legacy Full Arts. They will be added soon. Opus XI is getting added as we speak. For the most part. All the Fire cards have been added. Tomorrow we start with Ice.

I decided to work backwards. The recent sets will be added first till we get to Opus I. After that I’ll also be adding Opus I Wave 1, and finally the promos, and the cards that are exclusive to the Starter Decks. Not much of a variation in those cards. The only difference is how the category looks. You probably noticed after Opus IV how the category changed. A minor difference, but if you want a full complete set of all the cards, well, you’ll need to get those as well.

And as always I’ll always be trying to get every single card that has ever been printed. Even that elusive A-002. Well the first one I get my hands on is mine.

If anyone has any ideas, or something you would like to see, just shoot me a comment on this post. Or an email. Or just hit the Contact button up on the menu.

And, I thought I was done

And here I thought, that building the website would be easy. Well it was. Thanks to all the different plugins available and free themes and what not. It was fairly simple to get this website to where it is now. Not that were anywhere near finished, but we are on our way.

Trying to set up the storefront for the website took longer than I thought it would. Just because of all the cards I had to post to the website. And that’s one thing were still not done with. I sorted through all the cards, from the boxes that I opened and now it’s time to count.

Inventory.

128 different cards. 128 foils, and 21 Full Arts. All need to be added to each page, along with figuring out the price.

That doesn’t even make sense. I’ll just take a nap for now.

But, Nope.

Did not work out the way I planned it would. As soon as I went to post this post. Or, should i say article? I noticed that WordPress did not want to co-operate. Instead of a nap, I got to figure out what was wrong with the site. I was getting a blank screen whenever I tried to post something, or edit an existing page or post. Off to the help center I went. And for a couple of days, I was trouble shooting and trying to figure out what was wrong.

Changing themes, deactivating plugins, clearing cache and cookies.  All to no avail.

And, finally, I read somewhere that I should just install the Classic Editor. And that was all it took.

Now, it’s time for my nap.
