Love how in the end you talked about using the fresh juice to update your decks. Sometimes it is really hard to connect to somebody opening cardboard worth hundrets of dollars as it was nothing. Seeing you still enjoying the game itself makes me happy. Thanks
Very, very nice Draft box! Congrats on the Ruby Medallion you were searching for! I appreciate the love for the set despite all the negativity. Gotta be yourself and enjoy what you enjoy!
I like this box! Has a ton of what I’m looking for! I’m noticing more and more that it’s really rare to go to pound town with this set. Very interesting. Thanks POA!
Yea looks like set boxes has about 70 rares and draft 60. The set list pulls should have been much spicier. I have seen nothing but junk from that spot.
Yeah this set is AWESOME! Too bad single prices have tanked for value purposes, but this will be a set that's hard to not enjoy opening with so many cool playables :)
looks like a cool box, and did not help me with my debate of which type of box is better overall xD on another note, im about to finish building my first commander deck (waiting for a few cards in the mail) and the double sleeving made it huge. like.. so huge. any advice on flattening the deck down/sleeves/deck boxes, etc?
I'm a first print collector/player. If I have the means to grab a first print over a reprint, I'll pay more within reason (as long as it's TRUE nm). That being said, there are a lot of cards in this set that are $1 atm, and their first prints are still in the $teens$, so I have no problem paying a buck for real playable placeholders.
No one bought boxes so people cracked packs which flooded the singles market which in turn killed single value which also lowers the box value and incentivizing cracking more and entering a death spiral for the cards.
as a person who likes to get most of the first prints of cards, I would prefer a morophon from MH1 more than the CM one even though its more expensive. I'm sure there's more people like me out there.
As a result of Wizards printing everything to oblivion, you're seeing the beginnings of an organic collectors market around MTG that prioritizes first printings of cards, which is why the MH Morophon is still selling at that higher price. Compared to CMM, that card is actually rare and people would rather pay a little more for that version than the new one, because the focus isn't purely on playability. This has been the case with other TCGs, but never Magic because the focus was on getting the cheapest cards for play. Personally, I'd much rather have the originals than these reprints.
Idk, but it's looking like both draft and set boxes are heading towards the Amazon dump route to be completely honest. Wotc should hold off on reprint sets for at least a couple years before every LGS is closed.
One more thing! Why in the list slot do they have the same card that's in the stupid set? Am I loosing my mind? Who actually makes these actual important decisions? 😜

Some LGSs need to do a way better job of inventory management and because they're not particularly good at running a business, will fail. This type of thing highlights their management opportunities.
@@PackOpeningAddict for sure there those problems but when a store can't make money because of the products alone, all that other stuff doesn't even matter. Doesn't matter how great your business skills are when the products are selling for less than you pay from distribution. Then all the singles crash on release weekend. The only way to make any money at all is preordering, well if they don't get cancelled 🤣.
@mfdoom1898 that's the rub. At distributor pricing, stores could and a lot did sell singles and at the worst, you could recoup costs. For a change, it was stores racing to the bottom instead of general users. None of this is new. This has been an issue with MTG for over 2 years now. Once in a while a product comes out that's a big success (Kami, 40k, LOTR) but most have been a struggle. If an LGS hasn't been factoring in business trends, mtg trends, customer thoughts... They're mismanaging. Kitchentabletcg, who owns an LGS, did a bunch of videos covering the reality of managing this product to not get crushed. Running a store isn't supposed to always be easy. Every store everywhere on all products made a purchase that became a loss leader. Your ability to navigate those waters are whether you will be successful or not. That video of the guy who spent 3x more than he normally does? And I assume put it all on credit? Your store is not long for this world. I dont wish failure upon people, but some people do not know what they're doing.
@@PackOpeningAddict I'm not saying running a store should be anywhere close to easy. I'm saying the MTG market isn't going to be able to handle more of these reprint sets. Every set has reprints as well, then secret lairs are mainly reprints, jumpstart with every release, it's too much. Look at card prices now. If this continues even Louie's store will be gone.
I have looked at the card prices. I've run daily spreadsheets. They crashed the afternoon before official release. Then they made a nice recovery vs box price. Now we are in the stabilizing phase. Box prices vs singles are settling at that 80% of box price on average, which would be equilibrium. If I owned an LGS, I'd under order the next reprint set. Get some for my whales and some events. That's it
