Hiddie Hoo!

Yeah I did a thing.  It was not a huge thing, but it was a thing.  It was the weekend and I had a Friday off, so I decided to head up to my LGS near the house and wanted to pick up some stuff.  So with Dominaria I only bought 4 Booster Boxes, and opened up everything without leaving me anything to keep sealed.  This was all in the plans so I could pick up a couple of cases to not open using Rudy and Alpha Investments.

Enter Battlebond, and how much I really want those lands, I will only be picking up 1 case of Dominaria and I am grabbing more of the Battlebond set.  I know, why would I do that!?  Just pick up more Dominaria!  Well Battlebond is not a Standard set and Dominaria is, so I know I can pick up more Dominaria in the next 2 years.

So I am really putting my new purchase plan into play here, still only pre-ordering a small amount so I can free up some of my cash for purchases like this.  Trying to take advantage of these times to grab more of the sealed product that I think will be worth more in the later years.

Coming back around, I did just pick up 1 sealed box, just because I do not buy much from this specific LGS, and wanted to throw them some support.  Now I have my collection sealed Booster Box and I do not need to buy anymore Dominaria sealed if I don't want to.

BAM!  What the fuuuuaaaa!

Yeah, this was the last card I needed for my full set of Masters 25.  I have been looking around for a while to pick up this one, and saw that Grey Duck Games had it, so I snagged it!  Honestly I think I will go back to this smaller LGS around Oct to see if they have any other Masters boxes (Iconic or 25) and see if they want to clear out some of their inventory to pick up the new Ravnica sets.

They also had these cheaper cards that I wanted to grab while they were at the lower price point.  Most of these are mythic rare cards, and I kicked myself when I should have grabbed Hazoret when it was at $2.00 to fill out my playsets, so I am really trying to get out there and snag up the Mythic Rares at the lower price points before they pop.  My though process is that they might be around the $2-$5 price range, and after rotation the prices will go lower, but I can still grab these Mythic Rare cards at these price points knowing that sooner or later it will get around those prices at some point.

I still plan on trying to pick up most of this stuff after rotation, but I figure with Mythic Rares I could just finish my sets early.

FYI, my Mox Amber was list price around $19, but I just wanted to finish my playset.

Oh yeah, Karn... $65?  Fuck that in the goat ass!  I will be waiting for the next print release and the max box openings to pick up those.  Pretty sure I will be spending around $50 to grab my playset of those, but there is no pain in just waiting to see what happens.  I have no problem paying $65 for Karns, just not a month after release.

Suck it CardSphere!  Boom!  Yeah, I am getting a lot of Unlimited cards from CardSphere and I love it!

This little guy.  It is a little more on the MP side but I was really happy to get this through CardSphere.  The trader was really nice and helpful.  Looks like I had the (Light) printing it, and he sent me the (Dark) version.  Now I need 5 more of the two version printings of the Arabian Nights set for my complete set.

And just to add a CardSphere update, I was getting there and it was getting impressive.  I was really close to $1600 balance, and it was getting sexy.  Then a trader reserved the right to send me a bunch of booster boxes.  Now, I am not complaining, but I was getting really attached to my balance, and now it is all gone.  So I am off to the races to get more of a balance again.

But seriously, all the sealed Booster Boxes I am getting from CardSphere?!  It is nuts!  I know I keep saying it, but I never thought I would be getting this many sealed boxes from a trade site.  I am just amazed.  As long as you just put a decent price on the sealed Booster Boxes, someone will send you what you are looking for.  And considering I am shipping bulk and cards I do not want, I am making out like a bandit with CardSphere!
