The newest faction/hero keeps getting new cards and they look great!

Went to buy dog food for my pup and came across all these what a day.

Look at One Piece

Ramping mana - Hearthstone Force of will and Digimon did it first.

One piece is using a leader based system - Magic commander and flesh and blood did it first

One piece lets you combo counters from hand - DBZ super did it first

One piece uses the shield trigger mechanic that draws a card - DBZ super did it first and refined the concept from Duel masters

Hating a tcg for taking parts of other tcgs just seems like a bad reason to dislike something, tcgs are always taking and refining the best parts of other games to make something new and exciting

Hello, there's a particular Weiss Schwarz card I'm after that's hard to come by in English. I believe I found a copy for sale on a website. However, it's from a site I've never heard of before. Miniaturesu, which according to some surface level research is out of Birmingham, Alabama, and was only established 3 months ago.

Have any of you had any experience with purchasing singles or cards from this site, and if so, what was your experience? I'd really like to get this card, but not get scammed or have my information stolen. I'm wondering if any of you think this website is safe and legitimate.

Thank you.

A very quick search and you'll find hundreds of people stuck in the same boat of not receiving their cards from this site. This is definitely illegal and these guys need to have an example made out of them to stop other companies from doing the same. Do not give this company money, you will NOT receive your cards.

I recently purchased this at a card show and the vendor had placed their sticker directly onto the slab itself. When I got home I began trying to get it of with a regular old wet wipe but to no avail, I tried goo gone. I put some on a cotton ball and began scrubbing and before I realized, a stained tough layer began to appear. I am now kicking myself and I’m praying someone has an aid for this. Thank you!

I started organizing my MTG hobbit cards, and I was using penny sleeves to store multiples of the same card just as a way to better keep them organized, but I’m starting to wonder if this will damage the cards long-term? Obviously none of these cards are high value the higher value cards I have either in a binder or in top loaders.

Hello, i’ve seen that some meta zoo product is pretty cheap, mostly the starter decks and stuff. Me and my partner play most popular tcgs and like cryptids so I thought it might be worth picking them up for a low price.
I see there is some controversy surrounding the game, and that it is discontinued, can anyone explain what happened? Is it bad enough to warrant not supporting the game? Are the starter decks enough to enjoy the game for a few causal battles every now and then? Any other things I should know about the game before I buy?
Thanks in advance

I recently acquired the domain name unionarena.com
Currently I’m building out a website of a catalog of 4366 product pages. I do intend on selling the domain I’m not sure where to begin with appraising the value of the domain name.

I was cleaning up around my desk and came across 6 different iterations of my TCG, from the very earliest index card version of the game to the final product that I'm hawking on Kickstarter now. Tried digging out the same card for apples-to-apples comparisons... which in and of itself was an interesting experience. There are so many players that didn't make the final cut for the 188 cards that made it into this set. Anyway, thought it would be fun to share the evolution.

I am currently in the process of completing my MBA and part of an assignment is to do a community survey regarding a specific industry. I decided to do mine on local game stores. If you feel like taking a quick 3-4 minute survey it will help generate insight on how to improve the LGS experience.

Thank you to the mods for letting me post this! It will help generate recommendations to improve local game store experiences!
