Restock Quest

We are officially back on track, and the Restock Quest is in full swing once again!

If you’ve been keeping an eye on our TCG Player and eBay stores lately, you might have noticed that Opus I is completely done and loaded! Some of you clearly saw it hitting the inventory, because a handful of those cards didn’t even last a single day on the shelves before getting snagged. That’s always an awesome sight to see—now we just have to repeat the process for the rest of the sets until the whole quest is complete.

📦 The 35,000 Card Vault Has Arrived

This next stretch of the quest is going to take a bit of time. Right after the release of Blissful Eternity, we took delivery of a massive 35,000-card collection.

We are talking about cards spanning all the way from Opus I through Dreamlike Oceans, along with plenty of Legacy Collection gems sprinkled throughout. If you’ve been hunting for a specific single to complete a binder set or finish a deck build, chances are high it’s sitting in this pile. Keep your eyes peeled on KardboardKorner.com as we sort and list them over the coming weeks.

🗄️ Office Remodel & The Great Non-FFTCG Bulk Clearance

To keep up with all this inventory without losing our minds, we are currently in the middle of remodeling the Kardboard Korner office space.

We brought in new storage cabinets and drawer systems to make our pull-and-pack fulfillment process way faster and cleaner. Along with the makeover, we’re doing some serious inventory downsizing—specifically for everything that isn’t Final Fantasy TCG. We need to clear out physical room for our main focus, which means we will be selling off our extra non-FFTCG bulk very soon. One shop’s space constraint is another player’s treasure, so stay tuned if you’re looking to pick up cheap bulk lots!

⚔️ Mark Your Calendars: Next Event Set for October 23rd!

After how well our first Win-a-Box Event went at Mr. Gyros, we are officially locking in our next tournament date for Friday, October 23rd!

The timing works out great: the brand-new FINAL FANTASY XIV: Heavensward Starter Set drops on October 9th, giving you a couple of weeks to pick up the deck, get familiar with the new Ice & Lightning mechanics, and test those fresh cards out in actual competition with us.

Win-A-Box! Blissful Eternity

Are you ready?

It’s time for us to host our very first Win-a-Box Event. Honestly, looking back on it, I have no idea why we haven’t done this sooner!

We finally found an open slot on the schedule, and we are locking it in for this Friday. We’re also switching things up from our usual late-night schedule—instead of our signature midnight kickoff, we are starting a lot earlier. We’re looking at an official start time of 10:00 PM.

And yes, we are taking over our usual haunt at Mr. Gyros once again!

🎁 The Grand Prize & Prizing Structure

What’s up for grabs? First place takes home a full, sealed Blissful Eternity Booster Box.

If you’ve been to any of our events, you already know the golden rule: nobody walks away empty-handed from Kardboard Korner. Even if you have a rough night and place dead last, you’ll still walk out the door with at least 3 booster packs in hand just for coming out and playing.

Is that all? Of course not.

We are firing off this tournament with a minimum of 4 players. To make things even sweeter, we will be adding another full Booster Box to the prize pool for every 3 additional players that show up! The bigger the crowd, the more packs our runners-up get to crack open.

📍 Event Details & Summary

  • Date: This Friday

  • Start Time: 10:00 PM

  • Entry Fee: $20.00

  • Venue: Mr. Gyros — 9229 S. Cicero Ave, Oak Lawn, IL 60453

Just Another Update

It’s been a while since we’ve done a little update about what’s going on.

As you can see we’re starting to add more TCGs to the site. Mostly Pokemon, because that is what everyone likes. And, I get to add to my Mimikyu collection. We’re also going to start selling more singles on the site. As you can see, we already added the Pokemon Go Expansion that has just been released.

Opus I, should be up next because we’ve been meaning to do that for quite some time now. Along with the Promo cards and the Deck Exclusive cards. Our main focus will still be FFTCG.

After that Magic singles, MetaZoo and Flesh and Blood. This is a one man team on the website side, so please be patient. As always if you are looking for particular singles that are not listed you can always e-mail us, and we’ll be happy to look for you.

We’re dong more shows now as well. Some are better than others, but we’re still going out there. Trying to get at least one every weekend. Our Schedule is filling up fast. As soon as things are confirmed you know that we’ll make a post about it. Then we’ll send you an e-mail the week of to remind you. All you need to do is sign up to the mailing list. And you can do that right here on the page.

Our next show is July 10th, 2022. We’re doing a Win-A-Box tournament @Pescadon once again. We have prizes for the top 8. And even if you don’t make it to the top 8 you’ll still walk away with 2 Booster Packs.

It’s time for me to get back to work. I’ll keep you all updated.
