Would have to disagree that is reaction seems genuine. Everyone can react differently to different stimulus however it felt very underwhelming. And i am a person who almost cannot get excited/scared/surprised. His friend had no reaction at all. Sure, to some magic players $30k is not a lot of money, but his friend was just "Okay, yea, Lotus, i called it, whatever, let's finish this crap already".

But yea, it is pretty fishy all his packs are awesome. He is also sponsored by a store that sells vintage packs...

This is fake, I can even tell the firebreathing had wear on it, to much for a starter deck.

His reaction to me is fake. He acts like " awesome, another killer card I pulled." Holy mackeral is not the word(s) I would be expressing. If I pull a 30k card, I would not be saying holy mackeral. Holy shi....is more like it AND I'd be screaming don't breathe on it. Don't even touch it.

Supposedly, if you open a alpha/beta starter deck then the two rares in it will be next to each other on the printing sheet. This seems plausible to me as the sheet order likely determined the order of the cards in whatever stacks were used to fill starter deck boxes.

So I pay the 18 bucks for the total on the order. Payment confirmed, items shipped. Hey that's better than I thought I was gonna do!

So that was like the 9th of October. I check yesterday, still no tracking movement on this number they gave me, hasn't been picked up by the post office. I checked a bunch of things I sent out a little bit later than that, and they all showed movement. Tracking site seems to be working.

So I email the site. Hey this tracking shows nothing, what's up?

Dude is like, oh we can only send you 4 of each card. I respond with like... uhh why list more than 4? I've never been too annoyed by dealers just being like "take a hike" when I buy a bunch of stuff. Some dealers are honest about it, some aren't but it's their policy whatever.

What really got me is that... they sent me tracking and confirmed the item shipped. Only after I emailed them did they go, oh we need to know if you want just these 8 cards, or like... a refund. So they knowingly put a tracking number on an order without shipping it. You guys didn't need any more reasons to stay away, but I wanted to vent a little bit.

Players who play for stores do they just get free cards for their decks and admission fees into the evens? In return for promoting the store or do they actually pull in a salary of some kind?

TCG mid has it 52.97 to 16.64x3 (49.92)

PS - Does anyone know why Alex Bertoncini (spelling??) got banned again? I feel like we should permanently ban that *******.
