I bought about 14x jeweled lotus texture 1066 singles for the same amount spent on this bundle opening video. goes to show how rare finding a jeweled lotus is in sealed products... crazy...
Looks like the Selvala you pulled at 2:10:29 was textured foil, but then about a minute later you said you hadn't pulled a textured foil? Am I seeing that card wrong? Definitely looks textured in the video.
I got to see you open some of the most beautiful arts and definitely the most beautiful foils of all time in this video. Sorry I missed being there with all the awesome people at Champion but sometime soon maybe I can go back.
Oh, most of the big money cards were passed off to the folks that were right off camera (store owners and employees) who were able to properly store the cards.
Yup. It's the same amount of product we open with a regular set and those are $2000. Shows the difference in pricing with a *premium* set like this one.
I am sure they will. Once people get their boxes this weekend and start opening, there will be an influx of these cards in the market. It just won't be right now while all of the hype is going on.
We don't typically do enough Constructed to know if the cards in The List are actually curated but for a casual observer such as myself, it's interesting to see the older cards show up on occasion, albeit likely not worth adding any cost to the packs since they are so infrequently pulled.
Well, I can't speak for this particular store, as I do not have their perspective on the issue, but I imagine this is what LGSs have to do to make sure they have singles on hand for release day. So, while it may be more profitable to sell it sealed, if they have customers who are only looking for singles, it would be important to cater to them as well.
I didn't do the math unfortunately. It was nice to see that a number of the *best* cards that were opened from the Set booster boxes showed up as good pulls in the Collector booster boxes as well. The main difference seems to be the textured foils and the etched foils only being available in the Collectors.
