Total Foil Count: 3,742
So last week we got a bunch of new readers because of the BCW link to the blog based on how I store my collection using their product. It was not a sponsored post but they did send me some goodies because I let them us my pictures and post! I was out of town for work, so I just got the picture from my wife with my son sitting on the new package, trying to get into it.
When I finally got home this is what I found in the box...
I already have a bunch of these boxes! Yeah well it was not the boxes themselves, but what was inside that counts!
Now as everyone know I am a KMC guy and with my OCD I am already shaking a little bit at the thought of using these. There is not that much of a difference but I would know, and I would lose sleep about it. I am going to try and find a good use for them, seeing as all my 105,248 cards in my collection already have a perfect sleeve on them, I am just not sure what to do.
These I am sure going to use for my next EDH decks I want to build. I always wanted to see how they held up to playing, and since I normally use Dragon Shield this will be a nice change of feel. Only thing I wish they were was Matted instead of Gloss.
And these! I am super excited about these. As you know, I have my own separators that I use for the collection, but these are perfect for just normal everyday use. Like if I am doing the sort on a collection and I need temporary dividers to keep things apart, these types of dividers work great. If you remember back in the Kaladesh days I found out that they were discontinuing the holiday gift box and I went out to pick up all the ones I could find. Not only do I love the boxes, but the separators you got with them work so well! I actually thought of picking up a bunch of these on my last order, so I am happy to see how these work!
And with this one you need to pay attention. Next to the long box you can see a bunch of black foam blocks. Wonderful foam blocks! I have talked about it before, and explained a bunch of different uses for extra boxes that get shipped with some WoTC products, like the new Bundles with the extra long skinny black box that goes on the bottom of the Bundle. They are great to use as spacers when you have larger BCW boxes with a lot of cards, but not enough to fill up a row. These foam blocks are perfect for that use case, but now I can get a tighter squeeze, and these will work great with my foils. I will be able to really pack in the foil cards so no air can get to them.
I broke again. So I have another Amazon Credit Card, and they were also offering no interest for 18 months on any purchase above some amount. Modern Horizon is also coming out this weekend, and I wanted more than just the 4 boxes I got from the LGS, and when I checked they had sold out anyway. So I broke down and bought 2 more boxes from evil Amazon! They should be coming in the mail next week.
But...
I also picked up some stuff for the collection...
Number 2 of 3 in the Mercadian Masques block! One of the crappiest sets out there and the only set worse is Dragon Maze. For all you folks out there that do not think sealed product is investable, well I just bought this thing for $375! If it is old enough and sealed, it will go up in price. And the only reason I broke down and bought the stupid thing is because I did not want it to go up anymore before I could buy it. No Interest, done!
Oh but that is right, Number 3 of 3 in the block! I figured if I was going in for that box, I might as well get it's brother now instead of when the prices inflate more. So now I am totally done with Mercadian Masques block.
That leaves 3 more sealed boxes to get.
Coldsnap
7th Edition
Urza's Destiny
I might be able to pickup a Coldsnap this year, but unless I send a lot more cards on CardSphere I will be waiting until next year to grab the other two. If I do end up getting my other two credit cards paid off and I find something else on Amazon, I am going to be pulling the trigger. Then it is the slow roll through the Fat Packs! I might try and get Portal and Starter 1999, but who knows.
So yeah come trade with me on CardSphere!

And that is it for today. I need to get up to the post office and grab some envelops!
