We had a Coupon out for Cinco De Mayo, and decided that not everyone had a chance to use it.
So, we decided to add one more day to it.
Maybe 2 more days.
If you missed out then, here is the Coupon Code “20Korners” Use it at checkout to get 20% off of all singles.
And, if your order goes over $200 you’ll get Free Shipping as well.

Well the Toploaders came in, right as we were running out of our old stock. And, I was about to head on over to the local sports card shop to pick up a few. Sometimes time is on our side. Sometimes it’s not.
We also got a few new Full Arts that are now listed on the site, and some Tears of the Planet Singles that are on TCG Player.
04/29
Started the day off with restocking Opus XVI – Emissaries of Light.
Then I watched the Champion’s League game. Arsenal – PSG. I haven’t watched much soccer since 2013 and I wasn’t surprised that I didn’t know any players, but I still thought I’d know at least one person.

Wednesday, that means we’re heading to the Flea Market. Pretty much struck out today. The guy that told me to come back didn’t show up. All I ended up finding was a PS2 controller in ok condition. If it works, I can start testing PS2 games.
Turns out that something happened since the last time I turned it on. Didn’t want to start or nothing. Took it apart hoping that maybe something was off. Reached the Power Supply Board and I started smelling something burnt. Got to order one and hopefully it’ll be fine after that.
Decided that I should go through all of my old Consoles. I know that some just need cables, but others like all 3 Xboxs probably need a lot more work.
05/01
It’s raining again. Always on the days that I got Garage Sales to go to. That didn’t stop me though. I still took a drive around and actually found one. Nothing great but did grab a couple of CDs.
Bunch of Legends and Heroes added to TCG Player.
On the way home we found a rummage sale. I didn’t even know that it was going on. Of course I turned the car around and headed straight for it. And, of course as we’re walking in, we see someone walking out with a big Five Nights at Freddy’s Plush. This thing was huge. Not much else was there.
Ordered the Power Supply Board for the PS2. Fingers crossed it will work once I replace it.
05/02
We’re getting a small restock of Hidden Legends in today. They’re already up on the website, and they might be sold out by the time that you read this. There’s also some Final Fantasy VII Anniversary Art Museum Vol.1 and Vol.2.
Went sailing again. It’s almost like no one is having Garage Sales anymore, and the people that do, they want to charge eBay prices for everything.
05/03
Saturday means Flea Market and Garage Sales.
Got up really early today, thinking I’d beat the crowd. I did beat the crowd, and the vendors. I got there around 7:30 and everyone was still setting up. No time to waste, I started making my rounds, decided to walk around a few times looking for anything that would peak my interest. Didn’t find much the first time as everyone was still setting up.
Second time around, about the same.
Just found a Led Zeppelin cassette and a Wii U game-pad, which I needed. I started thinking that this Flea Market isn’t good on Saturdays. it was 2 hours and didn’t find much of anything. Started heading towards the exit, and I noticed a bunch of PS4 games that just made it on to a table. Crash Bandicoot 4, and CTR Nitro Fueled. ended up getting all of the games the gentleman had on the table.
Time to go. Nothing left to find here, other than Vendors selling they’re items at the prices that I would sell.
Off to the Garage Sales.
Drove around and found some. These are always hit or miss. Mostly miss. And sometimes you’re just a second too late. Drove up to one, and saw someone paying for a WWE folding chair from a show.
05/04
Decided to take a lazy day today.
Tested out all the games, made sure they worked, and got orders ready to be shipped out on Monday.
04/21
I’ve been looking for Toploaders all morning. They’re out there, they just have gone up quite a bit with these tariffs. We might start looking into alternatives for shipping out cheaper cards.
Also did a restock for Opus XII Crystal Awakening on TCG Player and eBay.
04/22
Purchased Japanese Pokemon EX cards for the vending machine at the restaurant. These are a hit with the kids. 50 cents well spent in their eyes. People have started coming in just to get Pokemon cards, they easily spend 5 to 10 dollars at a time.
Started working on decks for Final Fantasy IV.
04/23
Tried going to the Flea Market this morning. It was rained out. I was hoping to catch my guy there where I got all the Pokemon games last time. Guess we’ll have to wait another week.
Managed to find some Final Fantasy VII Anniversary Art Museum Vol.1 and Vol.2. And also some Hidden Legends. No News on a restock for Tears of the Planet and Legacy Collection.
04/24
It was time for sailing, Garage Sales. Saw a Craigslist post, and I got excited. 15 family garage sale, all at one address. Dropped the kids off at school and headed straight over there. I should have known better. When they hype up the garage sale, that’s when there is mostly junk. Junk for me that is. But, it’s ok I did manage to find a 5 pound scale that I can use at another garage sale.
But, the morning still isn’t over. Still have some time before I have to get to my “real” job. There’s a Rummage Sale going on at a VFW. I got there I didn’t expect much, but sometimes you do find some good stuff. As I’m walking around, I see a gentleman starting to grab a lot of books, I take a closer look, cause curiosity gets the better of me, and he’s grabbing old Stephen King hardcovers. That could have been me if I got there 5 minutes earlier, which I would have, If I didn’t go to Lemont.
But, that’s how it is sometimes. You win some lose some. I did walk away with a Walking Dead figure.
Finished the TCG Player/eBay restock for Opus XIV Crystal Abyss.
04/25
Sailing again. Today wasn’t much better than yesterday, but I did manage to find an auto of Lou Brock. I don’t even know who that is. But, apparently this card is worth around $20. It’s on eBay if you want it.
After that we restocked Opus XV Crystal Dominion. Also added some Yu-Gi-Oh singles as well.
04/26
Nothing of importance today.
04/27
It’s Flea Market Sunday. Didn’t find much for inventory other than New Super Mario Bros Wii, and The Rock Brawlin’ Buddy. But, I did manage to find some things for the office. A tablet and a Chrome Desktop. Still need to figure out if they work or not, but it’s a cheap gamble. can’t go wrong with $15 for both.
Had the little ones with me, we probably walked a few miles going up and down every lane, checking out what each vendor had to offer.
The highlight at the Flea Market for them is always the Lemonade. You buy the cup, and every time you go back, you get to refill it for 3 bucks.
Its the Red Wings! Sort of.
We’re starting off with Dark Knights.
Cecil, of course will be the first card that we’ll be putting in our deck.And, after looking at all of the Cecils available, we decided on 2 different Cecils. This way you can always have a Cecil on the field. Our main Cecil will be Cecil (15-073H). You’ll want a Crystal Generator on the field, before you play this one, or you can just go ahead and take the one point of damage. Because at 3 points of damage, Cecil will search for Cecil when he is sent into the Break Zone. And,as a true Dark Knight, Cecil will deal your opponent 2 points of damage with the help of Souleater.
The other Cecil is Opus I (1-108H). Cecil will be mostly used for the cost to pay for Souleater, but if he is on the field and you receive damage, Cecil will deal one of your opponent’s Forwards 5000 damage.
The rest of the Dark Knights are Graham (8-075C) who will break a Forward when he is put into the Break Zone. Zeid (25-024H) who can come in with Back Attack and every time Zeid is dealt damage, your opponent selects one of their dull Forwards and sends it to the Break Zone. And, Teodor (18-028L) 9CP? Yeah, no. We’re Warping! For 2CP Teodor will enter the field on your next turn. When he enters he field your opponent discards 2 cards, and since Teodor warped into the field, your opponent will discard another card as well.
We have Tilika EX (18-061R) to generate Crystals. Garland (IX) (8-026L) to keep your opponent’s Forwards at bay. 3 different Dark Knights. And a Baron Guardsman.
Our Backups include Tyro (11-072R) just because if you’re playing Earth you should play Tyro. The rest of the Backups include Crystal Generators and Dark Knights. Nothing special going on here.
Two Summons in this one. Zalera, the Death Seraph (24-026H) and Hecatoncheir (15-082H). You could probably add Cu Sith (10-068C) in here as well.
Monsters, just a handful Antlion (11-066C), Behemoth (19-066C) and Seeping Brie (17-073C)
And, the LB deck consists of 3 cards Maat (22-119R), Selh’teus (24-118R) and Noctis (23-125R). There’s still not much of a selection with the Limit Break cards, so we take what we can get.
Well this is what we got. What would you do different?
Let us know in the comments!

How will we make a deck that can tell us the story of Final Fantasy IV? I’ve been thinking about this for quite some time, and I never came to how we would do it.
Do we focus on each Character? Do we focus on Good Guys and Bad Guys? Do we take into account Interlude and The After Years? We can probably do it all, but where do we start? How will we make the decks without using the same cards over and over again?
As of today there are currently 192 Final Fantasy IV cards. This includes The After Years.
Cecil.
Do we take his story on how he changes from a Dark Knight into a Paladin? Or what if we just keep Cecil as a Dark Knight? Can we make a deck with Cecil and all of Baron’s Soldiers? Probably not. We only have Barn’s Guardsmen and Kain. Maybe Baigan can fit somewhere into that deck. What about Paladin Cecil, as he is set to battle against Golbez. Do we add Golbez in the deck?
There are so many questions. And, so many decks that we can build.
Stay tuned.
