Midnight Pre-Release

With the Final Fantasy XIII Custom Starter Set coming out this week, that means we have the From Nightmares Midnight Pre-Release closer than we thought. Less than a month away. March, 18th 2023.

If you ask us we believe this set will be one for the record books. We’re already sold out of Booster Boxes, but that doesn’t mean we’re not going to try and get more. That Cloud Signature card is a collector’s dream, especially if you look at what Yuffie has been doing. But, back to the Midnight Pre-Release.

March 18th @ 12AM we will be handing out the kits for the tournament.

You’ll be able to come in early to play some casuals and hang out as we count down to 12AM. It’ll be like New Year’s Eve, but better.

It’ll be $45 to enter the tournament. Which will get you your first kit. After that the Kits will be $40 each.

Everyone will walk away with something. So, make your plans and come try and pull a Cloud Signature before everyone else.
Details on prizing will be up soon.

Site Update – 02/20/2023

We finally finished adding Opus I to the Site. Not only Opus I, but the new Boss Deck Singles as well. It took us longer than expected, but we hunkered down during the Weekend and just finished it up before you can say Kardboard Korner.

It was a tough process as we were trying to filter out all the Wave 1 cards. Some are easy to spot while others are a bit harder. And, others … well it’s hard to see which cards are Wave 1 or Wave 2 when you don’t have any Wave 1 cards, and you’re trying to figure out which one is Wave 1 out of a whole bunch of Wave 2 cards.

We shall restart working on our Wave 1 guide once again. With better knowledge on what we’re doing.

We’ll still say that we are not 100% sure on some cards, but will say we are close to 95% sure. If you see something wrong, please let us know so we can fix it and help everyone distinguish Wave 1 cards.

I’ll leave you off with these guides here as they are super helpful.

Yes, every time we mention Wave 1 we will be posting these links.

Site Update 02/13/2023

It’s been busy around here behind the scenes.

We’ve been trying to separate all of our Opus I cards between Wave 1 and Wave 2. Some cards are real easy to distinguish the differences, others are just the same image with just tiny differences that half the time you’re not even sure what you’re looking at.

Luckily there are a couple of guides. I posted them on some previous Wave 1 posts and I’ll keep posting them on every Wave 1 post. I’ll just go ahead and post them here once again.

Now we’ve slowly been adding Opus I singles to the site. We finished Fire, Ice and Wind, and are currently working on Earth. Take a look and pick some up.

The Final Fantasy XIII Custom Starter Deck is right around the corner. We’ll be taking Pre-orders soon. We’ll be shipping them out as soon as they come in, so you can get them as close to release date as possible.

Other than that, we’re going to be finishing these Wave 1 Singles for a while.

Boss Deck, Check. Sephiroth, Check.

How did we forget?

Well, we didn’t actually forget, but we still think it’s 2022.

The new Boss Deck is coming out in the next couple of days. And, we will have some. They are currently on their way. In a truck somewhere on the highway. And they could be on their way to you as well.

I remember when the first Boss Deck came out, we had some fun with it. Trying to take on 3 people is a beast of it’s own. Imagine being the Boss in a video game. You got to take the Light Warriors out, or in this case, AVALANCHE.

Keep an eye out for our unboxing video coming in the next few days, as we dive into a deck and check out what these cards look like.

Wave 1 – Auron – 1-001H

Starting off right at the beginning. This one is not confirmed, but my personal opinion. I noticed this by looking at a graded Wave 1 Foil. The foil pattern is different between the 2 Waves. Here are the two guides from the introduction post that will help you guide your way.

“Differences in Opus I Wave 1 Printing vs Later Waves”

If you look closely, you can tell that the colors on the cards are a little different. The Wave 1 card looks a little dull compared to Wave 2 which is more vibrant.

Wave 1 is on the left, and Wave 2 is on the right.

First off, I noticed that the whole card is moved up, not just the Crystal. If you take a look at Auron’s boot there is more showing than what is on the Wave 2 card.

Something else I also noticed, but is not consistent on Wave 2 cards. Could be the difference between Wave 2 and Wave 3. There is a little, let’s call it a, blob on the left side of the card. Could just be a printing error, but it is something I noticed when I was studying the cards.
