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.

Irregular Scheduled Programming

Just finished updating the site, with From Nightmares singles.

Hey, it only took us a month. Not too bad. Could have been worse. I just noticed I never posted the Rebellion’s Call singles. So, if you need some of those just send me a message. You can contact us through the contact page.

We’re still going through all the singles and adding more to the count for them. I believe we left off on Opus VI. Ice was the last element we sorted. I remember the stack of cards on my desk as I was opening From Nightmares Booster Boxes.

I ended up putting them all in a card tray and forgetting about them until the time would come to bring them back and slowly getting through the pile once again. And then one more time, because we bought a couple of collections, so we have to go through them.

Other than that, stay tuned for our irregular posts.
