You said Crusade is 2x printed compared with Jihad? Where did you hear that? Why would Eric print some Uniques more frequently than others? Is the issue that 66 uniques doesn't fit perfectly on a print sheet? I noticed that AL has 4 non-foil print screens, 55 on each, where as Alpha/Beta has weird numbers of unique/elite/exceptional/ordinary.

These are good questions - there are some foils known to be short printed - Back during the filming of this video Jihad foil was a much harder pull than Crusade foil - its normalized a bit, but its still harder to pull jihad.

You got hosed on those 2 boxes! I've paused my AL opening after 60 boxes. It took 56 boxes to complete a non-foil set. I've bought some summer beta so will try to build a set of that while I can still find those boxes in the UK. Clumping is so annoying in AL.

Not a good bet value wise - lots of low value cards that are probably a pain to shift. The ring is nice to open yourself as long as you don't already have one.

Serious question here, why do people feel that they are SUPPOSED to be able to gain money or break even on box openings most of the time. I can understand the desire for profitability among businesses and flippers, but it stands to reason that the majority of people in a TCG are players. People need to remember that TCGs are a product made for consumers, in a world of consumerism. We don't expect to get our money back on other products that are purchased for use and play...
@PhilosopherCards
@PhilosopherCards 9 күн бұрын
Yeah - so it’s not about making money - it’s about folks that break to sell singles on TCGplayer and other places can’t do that if they can’t break even at worst. If you don’t have a healthy singles market - the game dies. On top of that, if EV falls too far nobody cracks anything. Players might crack a pack or a box here or there, but the supply of the cards tanks and the demand for the cards tanks simultaneously. If folks can’t build constructed decks because nobody is selling singles or LGs aren’t carrying boxes because nobody is cracking - the game dies.

@seanscollection
@seanscollection 11 күн бұрын
I've found 18 foil uniques (excluding elite rarity uniques) in 54 boxes (which is spot on % wise - 1 in 3 boxes), never more than 1 in a box. I opened a whole case with no uniques! I now buy a few boxes from several different stores, open them, buy more boxes from those stores with better boxes until their boxes go bad, then try a different store. I wouldn't recommend anyone buy sealed cases of AL.

What is your box total so far and how many non-foil uniques do you still need? I've opened 54 but still need Great Famine unique. I'm hoping I have final card in one of the six boxes sitting on my shelf waiting to be opened! :D I spoke to another collector who needed to open 80 boxes to find their last unique card! AL seems to be harder to complete even factoring in smaller box size.

@PhilosopherCards Cards auctioning off at less than 50% of their market value isn't a dip. The "so what" attitude of reprint news doing a huge loss of trust and using downward trends as an "everything is fine" "dip" "etc" isn't me being a "Timmy" , just you shilling with a terrible defense.
