We just gave away a Dual Land to a Discord member, and we're doing it after ever MagicCon. All you have to do is be in our Discord. Have you joined yet?

This happens to us at every MagicCon in the US, too. It's a relief to vend overseas. It's not the Teamsters doing anything wrong, per se. They negotiated a contract with the convention halls to exclusively control all logistics. Complain to the show organizer/convention hall.

🚨 Teamsters Turn San Diego Card Party Into a $150 Union Toll Booth

Card-show vendors at San Diego’s Card Party say they were charged $150 just to roll their own inventory into the event on carts.

These vendors are not giant corporations. They’re mostly hobbyists, collectors, and small business owners trying to bring boxes and cases of cards to tables they already paid for.

They expected loading-dock rules. What they say happened instead is that the “anything with wheels” rule was allegedly enforced at the front door too.

This is union power running wild — a $150 toll booth for ordinary people trying to move their own inventory into a show they already paid to attend.

Apparently I got mentioned in a TCGPlayer article:

The worst part about being a vendor hands down is having to deal with this—a 4-row box of sleeved cards (which isn’t even all of it) we bought at the last show. I always put all the sleeved cards aside to save for the end, because de-sleeving absolutely sucks. #desleevingsucks

Disappointing…

[Robert Taylor 🔥 @fireshoes]

Pro Tour prizing is increasingly lagging behind the cost to attend. Ken is spending $2400 for flight and hotel. He's have to finish in the Top 28 to cover that (based on the prize structure for Las Vegas). #mtg

Serra Angel is iconic, but it's hard to beat Sol Ring.

[WelcomeToWUBRG @WelcomeToWUBRG]

Went back to pick up my Serra Angel and I left her at the altar for this Sol Ring instead. WORTH. Thanks, @genesishobbies! #mtg
