Not Much Going On.

Not much happened last week.

Nothing exciting.

I was watching Ghostbusters over the weekend. And it is as good as I remembered it the first time I watched it, and the 1,000 times I watched it afterwards. And, even though I haven’t seen it in years, I can still recite every line.

“It’s ok, the table broke the fall.”

Then I watched Ghostbusters 2 and I realized that I forgot most of the movie. I remember the key parts, but that’s about it. It’s not as good as the first one, but it still good.

That was the week in review. Watching Ghostbusters.

And, we picked up some games and action figures.

As much as I would like to say they are Final Fantasy related, they are not.

Be on the lookout for them, as we’ll add them to the Site this week.

Also.

I have been toying with a Subscription idea.

For X amount of money, you’ll be getting a certain amount of packs. Or product, depending on the price and what not. It’s not perfected yet, but the gears are grinding as it is all getting worked out. In my head, that is.

You Want A Balloon?

The OLPL Fan Fest has come and gone, and we did our part. We probably blew up, drawn on and handed out around 100-200 balloons. It was a fun experience. We tried to convert people to the greatest card game of all time, but we were constantly trying to keep up with the balloon demand. And, there was a line at times.

But, it was well worth it.

The highlight was probably when one of the other vendors had brought back the balloon that we gave them last year. They told us how they took it along with them to other events. They told us how they kept checking on it throughout the whole year to see how it was doing. Although it had shrunk a little, it was still in good shape.

We enjoyed every minute of it, and just seeing the smile on the kids’ faces when we gave them a balloon with their favorite Pokemon on it, was what made us go back this year. And, we would love to be back next year as well.

So, you might as well just mark your calendar from now.

April Out, May In

Happy May Day, and let’s get to it.

We started sending out monthly coupon codes, these codes have a one time use, but every month you will be getting a new one. They are good for 5% off your whole order. No limit on how much can be taken off.

What’s the code you say? For the month of May it is Meia. Now, don’t say I didn’t give you a code.

Other than that, all the sleeves and playmats we mentioned last time have been uploaded. It didn’t take us as much time as we thought it would. They are all there, and there will be more going up soon.

We still have out work cut out for us, as we’re still going through collections that we bought. We just got over 7000 MTG cards, and we have no idea what’s in them. We’d go through them right away, but we already have a couple of other collections that we picked up that we need to go through. And, Magic isn’t our top priority at the moment, but if you find a good deal, you got to pick it up.

Like the Digimon cards we picked up, a while ago. They starter selling, and it looks like they are already doing better than a couple of other TCGs we ended up getting.

Before I let you go, I’ll remind everyone that, we will buy your bulk. All of it. Any cards too, not just TCGs. Give us your Junk Wax, old Movie cards that were overprinted, Dead TCGS too. We’ll buy all of it. Just click on the Buylist or just send us an e-mail at kardboardkorner@gmail.com

Site Update 04/27/2023

Let’s see now.

We had a whole bunch of stuff come in, and now we need to slowly put them on the site, cause if we don’t you won’t be able to buy them.

Over the past week, we received sleeves, play-mats, cards, cards from other TCGs, Key-chains, stickers and tattoos (but, those are for something else.)

And, I can’t think of anything else that came in. Now we get to post it all on the website.

We probably will just stick to having Final Fantasy TCG Singles on the website. The rest will just be posted to TCGPlayer, and eBay. It’s just simpler for us, until we can figure out something with building websites. Cause one thing is for sure. We are not programmers, nor do we have cards in stock to warrant having all the cards posted to the website, when 90% would be out of stock.

Keep your eyes open, They’ll be up sooner than you think.

OLPL Fan Fest Vol. 7 – Guardians of the Library

The Oak Lawn Fan Fest is actually right around the corner. 2 weeks away. And, you know that we will be there once again. We had a great time last year, giving away Pokemon balloons to all the kids.

This year we don’t know what we’ll be doing, but we know that we’ll be there trying to teach everyone how to play FFTCG. As well, as having something special for the kids.

The Fan Fest starts at 9AM, and goes on until 4PM.
