@alifeofmovement Nah we don’t for revised stuff. Ive sent power or pretty specific things to get graded but between how long it takes to send and get back + how slow high graded cards move its not our thing. Happy to let customers buy at our nm price and let them do it if they want.

@DroodHT I'm this good of condition do you bother to grade?

When I see a new TCG and @pawelburza involved in its promotion, I can only make one decision: PADRE'S BLESSING for me from Cyberpunk TCG. And I'm asking when the exhibition games will be in Warsaw?! :-)

@HairyKraken That was not an RCQ it was a store championship. Same with Urza's saga

@DroodHT except ocelot, that drawn a lot of people at my lgs

2 years later and it somehow got worse. At some point its not a failure on their part its by design that they don’t want RCQs to have support.

Out of the last 4 RCQ top 8 / winners promos only 1 is somewhat played regularly. We started off with Nykthos and its been downhill since. The promos at the RC have not been better with the latest being Dragonlord Silumgar. I'm begging you WOTC talk to 1 person not out of touch.

Its so funny watching people on twitter try to understand why spotlights are smaller than the 1800 player Toronto one.
There had not been a playable open tourney in Canada since before the pandemic, not a single one.
Just show up with sleeves and a dream, limited is gas.

@AndyAWKWARD I bought him a really nice raptors one, he always picks this one instead.

@TCG_TALK @Justin_Neagle yea the reality is theres lag, because spider-man got stuck at LGS level most LGS then ordered a lot less of TMNT and because TMNT did poorly it will probably reflect in marvel superheroes order numbers.
English
@Justin_Neagle @DroodHT Whenever any TCG says “best selling set” most of the time they mean distribution sales to the LGS, not off the shelf sales. It’s a marketing headline. Still means they are making sales. Doesn’t translate to LGS all the time.
English
@Justin_Neagle Maro says it sold top 10 all time and me and every LGS owner says it sold incredibly poorly / it was liquidated a below cost on black friday by every store.
It could not possibly be because stores have to order blind and there is a lag between the 2

@CCkun91 @fireshoes Still happening but it will be only to the highest tier. So i think it will remain unchanged until mid 2027 and then after that who knows how many stores reach tier 6.
English
@DroodHT @fireshoes So are stores going to keep receiving the name stamped promos?
English
@GreendeckMTG i appreciate that, we get granfathered in the highest tier for the first 6 months i think but it seems almost impossible to keep beyond that.
English
@DroodHT That is a bummer. I hope stores like yours can start at highest tier.
I'm happy to see some change. There's a WPN premium store by me that doesn't run RCQs (2-slotters) because, and I quote, "they dont feel like it". I hope their WPN status gets pulled to bottom tier.
English
@archiecoder They posted the new article today at 8pm est and basicly said premium applications were closed at of march 4th so prob just need to delete that part of the site yea
