Kardboard Fantasy V – Legend of the Korners

09/08

I didn’t.

Feel better that is.

I just tried resting up, but you know how that goes. I ended up running around all day. And, when I finally got home it was time to get ready for tomorrow.

Kids, bedtime routine and dinner.

Oh, and don’t forget the leftover orders from the weekend.

09/09

“When I flush the John! The shower goes on!”

It’s time to try and fix this drain in the shower. I thought it was a simple clog, cause that’s what it usually is. I don’t know what’s in there, but I ended up breaking 2 rodders. That was not fun at all. I gave up on it after a while cause my drill got stuck to one as well.

Amateur Plumber. At your service.

Started Sorting Opus XIV. Add in the new bulk and new cards that we acquired, make it one big batch for our restock, instead of going through different piles at a time, to find the cards we need.

09/10

Restocked Opus XIV – Crystal Abyss on TCG Player and eBay.

The Kids had Soccer practice today, and we got there 30 minutes early. We had the whole field to ourselves for a while, we had some fun before their practice started.

09/11

Listed a bunch of Opus XIII – Crystal Radiance Foils on eBay.

And, I’ve been using Notebook LM. It’s a great piece of AI that you can feed it a bunch of sources, and it will give you a great summary about it.

Also started sorting Opus XV – Crystal Dominion for a restock.

Played another game of 99 Nights in the Forest. We made it to day 33. We’re going to get there, We would have gotten to a lot more days, but I thought that if I had the Bandages and dies I would be able to revive myself. Apparently that’s not how it works.

09/12

I had plenty to do today.

Listed some new Opus XIV – Crystal Abyss Singles on eBay. 90% of them are foils.

Restock for Crystal Dominion on TCG Player and eBay.

That took me quite some time. Trying to juggle Kardboard Korner and the restaurant at the same time is not fun. Usually I wait till it slows down a bit, and then I grab some cards. And, as soon as I grab them, the phone rings.

Same thing happens when I make something to eat.

99 Nights in the Forest has become a nightly thing.

09/13

Gameday once again. We finally got our jerseys! #5 and #12 for my kids. They played good today. And we won our second game! 2-1 That makes us 2-2 in the standings. I don’t know what place we are maybe I should check the website and see if that data is available.

The kids got their Halloween costumes today, and they’ve been parading around the house with them.

I was doing my running around today and there were garage sales everywhere. I had no time to stop today, by where were all of these when I was out there a couple months ago.

09/14

Other than orders, not much got done today.

My daughter wanted goalkeeper gloves. She says she wants to be a goalie. So, I did what any father would do, we went and got some. I told her, that if we get them, we’re going to have to practice everyday.

We also went out for dinner again, and can’t say that we were pleased with our food. McDonald’s would have been better, and I don’t care much for McDonald’s.

Kardboard Fantasy V

09/01

It’s Labor Day, it’s also my daughter’s birthday, so we spent the day getting ready for her party. It was just a small party, with family, but she enjoyed it. She finally got a Switch that she was asking for, plus the game she’s been wanting Animal Crossing. Or Crossy Roads as she calls it.

After it was all done, I had to put all the orders that got stacked up from the weekend.

And, hopefully these World Champions Decks 2024 will come in this week.

09/02

I was out cold today, missed my alarm, kids were late for school. And, well, we still have plenty of things to take care of.
Had some free time, so I tried organizing the office again. It will always be a work in progress. Today was more like one step forward, two steps back.

I either need more room for it, or less trading cards. I’m thinking more room.

09/03

It was School Curriculum Night.

And, that’s where my whole night was spent. I thought it would have been an hour or so. It ended up taking 3 hours. Running around to each class, meet with all their teachers. It was a little bit hectic.

Luckily, their Soccer Practice was canceled, and it gave me more time. Other wise I would have been running around like a chicken with it’s head cut off.

Finished up some orders. And, still no word about the World Champions Deck.

09/04

Called my distributor bright and early. The World Champions Decks 2024 have arrived and they will be here tomorrow. We’re going to have to get everything ready as to where we can just slap a label on them and have them sent out as soon as they arrive tomorrow.

Started sorting all the Gunslinger in the Abyss boxes that we’ve opened. We’re going to start putting these cards in our Bulk lots as well.

Played a game of 99 Nights in the Forest again. We finally saved one of the kids. And, got to day 11 again.

09/05

Patiently waiting for the World Champions Decks to come in. I’m get excited every time a UPS truck goes by, and then I’m disappointed when they don’t turn into the parking lot.

But, they finally did arrive. Only a week late. Got everyone’s pre-order sent out as soon as they did.

09/06

Gameday!

This kids did better this week than last week, they only lost 3-1 this time. And, 2 of those goals, were because the goalkeeper was hiding from the ball. Go figure. Yes, they’re just kids, but don’t duck so the ball won’t hit you. That’s what your arms are for.

It’s ok, we’re still keeping our heads up.

After the game, I was just running around. Didn’t stop until 4PM, and after that I was just spent. Managed to get all of my orders done. And, I went straight to bed. I think I’m getting sick.

09/07

Yep, I’m getting sick.

Time to pop some Ibuprofen. And, try and get through the day.

Ended up heading out to Indiana, and have dinner with some of our kids. We picked a place that we went to years ago. Apparently they have good burgers, or did.

After we got home, I just put the kids to bed, got their lunches ready for school, and passed out. Hopefully, I’ll feel better tomorrow.

Kardboard Outlook

08/25

It’s the start of the work week. Plenty to do today as we get ready for the World Championship Decks 2024 coming out this Friday. Well not really a lot to do, it’s not like it’s a regular release with all new cards we have to take a look at. But, still we have some things to do before hand.

Other than that, the day was spent finishing up the weekends orders.

08/26

I usually get a call on Tuesdays if there’s a release coming out that week. And, today is Tuesday, and I haven’t received a phone call yet.

That means that they’re either really busy, or they haven’t received them yet. I’ll give them a call tomorrow to figure out what’s going on.

Opus XII restock on TCG Player and eBay.

08/27

I have Opus XIII ready to go, and did that restock for it on both TCG Player and eBay.

Called my distributor today, and they don’t have a clue on when the World Championship Decks are coming in.

I still need some product, so I ordered plenty of Gunslinger in the Abyss. It’s selling like hot cakes, and these singles are fire.
Got to wait a day for those to come in.

Took the kids to soccer practice spent an hour there, just watching them go. All they need to do now is have fun.

08/28

Gunslinger in the Abyss came in today as it was scheduled. Now it’s time for us to crack open some packs, and list those singles. But, not until later, so we can upload it to YouTube.

Spent the afternoon, posting singles on eBay. And, some of them sold in minutes! That’s something that we always like to see.

Played some 99 Nights in the Forest with the little ones before bed time, and we finally made it to day 11. Only 88 more to go. Thing is you have to restart from the begining each time.

08/29

These boosters are half way gone already! Might have to order some more. Just have to wait for the money to clear on TCG Player and eBay and PayPal. eBay and PayPal are pretty quick, but sometimes TCG Player takes up to two weeks for the money to reach my bank account.

We’ll worry about restocking once we sell out, we still have a Master Case available, so if you’re on the lookout for some, we got you covered!

Yes, sometimes I’ll just insert an image that has nothing to do with what I’m writing.

08/30

Time’s flying by, I can’t believe that GConnn will be tomorrow. I have to get everything set up for it. Luckily, most of it is already ready from other events. about 70% is Final Fantasy, trading cards and toys. The rest is .. well it depends on what I feel like bringing,

I’ll probably bring some Pokemon for it.

Other than that, I spent the whole day at the restaurant.

08/31

6AM, Wake up, time to go.

Had to be at the Orland Park Civic Center at 7AM to start setting up. I probably could have arrived later, but it’s always good to be ready before hand. You never know when the unexpected can happen. It’s not like you can expect it.

It was a good show, had about 275 people show up. Made some money, made some trades, and found an Final Fantasy VIII Siren GF Action Figure still sealed.

I picked that up before anyone else had a chance to.

Went home took a nap, and headed out for a little BBQ. It’s Labor Day weekend, we got to relax a little.

Started off with finishing the restock of Opus XI. On both TCG Player and eBay. I still need to get some new Opus XI listings on eBay, I just have to find out where I placed those cards.

Tried Organizing the office again. The shelves in particular. Sometimes items come in, and I just throw it all on the shelves. And, that makes a big mess, because if you don’t do it right the first time, you won’t go back to it anytime soon. It does look a lot better now compared to before, but it is nowhere near to finished. And, I don’t think it ever will be.

We can always hope.

We’re really getting into 99 Nights in the Forest. I’ll play a game with the kids every night. We’ll make it to the end. So far we reached day 7, and I always die trying to save them from whatever is attacking them.

08/19

Toploaders came in today, now we don’t need to worry about them until we run out again. We got our last batch in April. 4 months. Let’s see when we’ll have to order our next batch. Let’s try for 3 months this time.

Also a batch of Heroes came in including Foils. I just wanted to pick up one card, the Full Art Ultros from Crystal Dominion, and I can’t stop at one card. I ended up stopping at around 350.

We might even have bulk Hero lots coming soon.

Did the restock for Opus XII – Crystal Awakening. Tcg Player and eBay.

Also got a deck up for The Twelve. They look like they’ll be fun to play.

08/20

Had a 125 card order today, that took me a couple of hours to put together. Mainly because it was an eBay order, and you can’t download a pull sheet that is sorted like they do on TCG Player. Maybe you can, I just haven’t figured out how. If it was a TCG Player order, it would have taken me maybe 30 minutes.

It was a busy day with the kids today. Meet the Teachers, and Soccer Practice. They’re starting to do really well, and they enjoy playing soccer. School it’s 50/50 on that one.

Going to have more Bulk lots soon. They’re all halfway done at the moment.

Also, I found a case of Rebellion’s Call Prerelease Kits! It was a nice surprise. Now if they were Opus XI, that would have been a whole lot cooler. But, if you need one they should be up on the site, so go ahead and grab one.

08/21

After a long hot summer, the kids are finally back to school. Now we can start focusing on Trading Cards. It’s always a slowdown during the summer for me, just because I can’t get as much done as I can during the school season. It’s mostly cause I like hanging out with the little ones.

Have I ever mentioned Before Dawn?

It’s something I have been working on for 20 years. On and mostly off. I keep trying to restart it from the begining, the last couple of years I’ve been getting it going. It started off as an RPG, now it’s taking on many forms, and I have some plans for it. I’ll have more info on that soon. I won’t say much more about it … for now.

08/22

I’ve been working on Before Dawn all day, almost forgot to head to the Post Office because of it.

And, that was all I did. Yesterday and today, I probably spent a good 10 hours on it.

Oh, and Dreamlike Oceans was announced. Not today, a couple days ago. We already made our announcement on it. And, yes we are excited!

08/23

The kids have a game today. Got to wake up early, open up the restaurant, and then head to the game which is about 30 minutes away.

I got there, my kids were both starters. We started off the game good, and then well, we need a Goal Keeper. They play in quarters. The first quarter they had a kid that was great. The second quarter, the kid was day dreaming, playing with the net on the side, the third quarter same thing. Last quarter they put in someone else again. We ended up losing 5-0.

At least they’re having fun.

08/24

Sunday was quiet.

Slow day.

Ended up taking one of the kids out to play soccer.

Got some dinner, and finished the orders.

Also worked on Before Dawn a little bit.

Kardboard Chronicles II

07/28

It was a long day today.

We have good news though. We got our numbers for Gunslinger in the Abyss and it looks like we’re getting our full order. That means we’ll have plenty that will go up on the website.

We’re trying to have everything ready before the release next week. That includes our reviews on all the cards and all the cards listed and ready to go on TCG Player and eBay, along with the Full Arts on KardboardKorner.com.

Took the family out for ice cream, and took care of the orders.

Opus IV Dadaluma is unbanned. And then all my copies on TCG Player and eBay sold in a matter of minutes.

07/29

I had forgotten about the 30 day plan for the website. Well now it’s time to get back to it.

Check that the contact link in the footer is visible and clickable. I never had a contact link in the footer. So, I got one ready and it is now there. You can now send us an email straight from the link on the bottom. Checked it on Mobile as well and it’s working great. So, go ahead and send us some love.

Had to look for a Japanese Pokemon card I misplaced. Luckily I found it pretty fast.

Took care of the orders, and I passed out early.

07/30

Flea Market Swap. First thing in the morning. And there was nothing there for me. I did find an Xbox One but, I don’t really mess with them. I still have a bunch of Xboxs and games sitting at the office. It’s one of those items that aren’t high priority for me.

Headed to the bank, got my check for the Prerelease Kits that are coming in today. And, that means, I’ll be back on YouTube. Tonight. The video will be up by the time you read this, and I’ll probably have another one up as well.

Tested out that Metal Detector I got a couple weeks back, and it seems to be in good condition. Now, just need to find time to actually go and look for things.

07/31

Woke up to a flat tire. That’s never fun. Swapped out the spare and now I got to do some extra running around later today. Of course this happens when I’m already stretched thin with everything that’s going on.

That’s life though.

I just saw that one of my shorts on YouTube has gotten 1,500 views so far! That’s exciting, they usually top out at 500. I’m guessing everyone is getting excited about Gunslinger in the Abyss.

Got a couple of decks ready for Midnight PreRelease, hopefully they’ll be fun to play. The Bomb Squad, and OctoPirates. I’ll let you know how they turn out.

08/01

It’s August.

I thought my kids teams were going to be released today, but that got delayed to August 5th. Which is good, cause if they were released today, they would have had their first practice tomorrow and I would have been spent from Prerelease tonight.

Spent the day, doing the Gunslinger in the Abyss opinions. We’ve got 3 up already, 5 more to go.

Midnight Prerelease is tonight. We’re excited and ready.

Submitted 2 decks to Shantottocast’s Fix-It-Friday. (Give them some love, great people, and they help out the community tons!) Just to see what they had to say and how to improve them.

08/02

It was Midnight and Prerelease was ready to go. It was a small crowd, but fun none the less. Our winner walked out with an extra prerelease kit.

I was exhausted. The day went by slowly, and it takes me longer to recover from any late night activity.

My plan is to just get through the day, and go to sleep.

Again.

08/03

Woke up feeling a little better. And headed out to the Flea Market.

Actually found some first generation BeyBlades. I haven’t gotten a chance to look at them yet, but you know if they have metal on them, they are from earlier generations.

Took care of orders, while I watched SummerSlam.

All that’s left is to take care of everything before Gunslinger in the Abyss makes it’s way into my hands. We’ll have a very busy week.
