A Day Late.

07/21

They changed our Mailman, and now I haven’t seen a Mailman in over a week. I’m waiting on packages, and cards, and as much as I hate to say it, bills. Where’s my bills? And, where’s my packages so I can pay for the bills. Does anyone know who to contact?

I need more bulk! Lots of it. I need to replenish our bulk lots. I got 10 lots started, and hopefully they’ll be ready to go soon enough. That also means I want your bulk. All those FFTCG cards that are just gathering dust. I’m paying $10 per 1000 cards.5

I’ll even send you the shipping label. KardboardKorner@gmail.com

The shoes, finally dried up.

Yeah, nothing really happens on Mondays.

07/22

Started a Gunslinger in the Abyss Coupon on eBay. We need to make some room for it, cause the office is already crammed with boxes, cards, toys, and video games.

Started working on the bulk lots, halfway through 10 of them. Hopefully we have enough cards to complete them all.

07/23

I was expecting my orders to come in today. But, where is the Mailman? I just saw them once in 2 weeks, and all they had was a single piece of junk mail. My orders should have arrived already. People need their cards.

Checked the tracking, and it said that delivery was attempted.

Restock on Opus VIII for TCG Player and eBay. Plus I added to the bulk lots, with some Opus VIII.

07/24

One of my packages finally came in today. This is about 100 foils, plenty of Full Arts. Expect them to go up on the site tomorrow. At some point. Well by the time you read this they will all be up somewhere, whether it’s Kardboard Korner, TCG Player or eBay.

Did a restock on Opus IX – Lords & Chaos. Those are already up on TCG Player and eBay as well.

07/25

It’s the start of the weekend, that means I’m going to have to be at the restaurant 12 hours a day, and then still find time to put my orders together and go to the Flea Market. This is the time where organization and a clear schedule will help you shine. Unfortunately, I have neither. I just get up and go.

Sometimes I try to stick to a schedule, but I get sidetracked easily and well, chaos comes marching in. Controlled Chaos, but chaos none the less.

Put up the Full Arts on the website. And slowly working through the rest of the cards, they should all be done today.

It’s supposed to storm all day. Still made my way to the flea market today, and I wished I didn’t. There was probably a total of 12 vendors, where there would usually be close to 200.

Can’t do nothing about it, so I just headed to the restaurant where I stayed all day.

07/27

Sunday, Sunny, hot.

Off to the Flea Market cause yesterday was a bust. Alsip was bustling today. Time to make my rounds. And around. And nothing. Nothing worth my time. There were a couple of things, but they were overpriced. They were trying to sell them for more than I would sell them, so I had to pass on them.

Walking away left a bad taste in my mouth, so I decided to head to the thrift store. And I found a big fat skunk there too. 2 hours wasted, finding nothing.

Headed home, took care of the weekends orders and called it a day.

Legacy Collection, Thoughts On Pull Rates

This is an interesting set, and I believe we need to look into this a little bit more than usual.

What we know so far is that the Legacy Collection, will be replacing the Anniversary Collection Set of previous years. And, instead of just giving us all of the cards in one box, we’re hoping the RNG gods will help us with grabbing all the cards that we will need.

It’s a 200 card set, and each card will have a Premium Foil version, and also a Full Art version. As I previously stated, this might mean new art, I highly doubt it now. After I re-read the news article Square -Enix posted, it is just a different foil type. Will this be only for the Full Arts, or for the regular foils as well? That’s something that we will have to find out in February, unless we get shown some of these cards before hand.

Back to the the 200 cards. This set will give us a total of 600 cards plus the 2 Signature cards, and the 6 Crystal cards, these give us a total of 608 cards for a complete collection. And, that my friends will be a rare sight.

Speaking of the Gold Stamped Signature cards, how rare will these be? Because I’m sure it won’t be once in every 5 Master Cases, not with this many Full Arts. Even if they hand out 1 Full Art and one Foil in every pack you’ll still need at least 200 pack for a full set, which I don’t believe that they’ll do.

Let’s do some math.

A Master case is now 3 cases of 6 Boosters. A Booster is 20 packs. This gives us 360 packs per Master Case. Which makes it unlikely that we will be getting a complete set of Full Arts from one Master Case. Given that 200 of those cards will be the regular Foil Version, that leaves us with 160 slots for Full Arts, which I don’t believe that we’ll be getting that many.

And, since we won’t be getting a complete set of Full Arts in a Master Case, this brings me to believe that the chances of getting a Gold Stamped Signature card will be even rarer than the chances we all have with a regular set.

Let’s break this down a little further.

If we have 160 extra packs per Master Case, this gives us about 8-9 Full Arts per box. Which I believe is too high. I’ll say that they will be about 50 Full Arts per Master Case, which will give us about 3 Full Arts per box. Some boxes will have just 2 Full Arts if this is the case.

We’ll need 4 Master Cases for a complete set of Full Arts.

Since, we already know that with the regular sets, the chances of getting a Gold Stamped Signature was 1 in 5 Master Cases. That gives us 5 complete sets of Full Arts.

SO.

If we need 5 complete sets to pull a Gold Stamped Signature, That gives us 20 Master Cases.

That means we’ll be getting a Gold Stamped Signature in 1 out of 10 Master Cases.

Now, this is just my thoughts on it. We’ll have to wait until February to see a better number that’s closer to the pull rates.

Let us know what your thoughts are? Is my number too high or too low? Or did I hit the nail on the head?
