I was not born. I debuted.

Welcome to Ted Warman's Vault: card, comic and anime news, restocks and honest deals, judged with Martian taste and zero sympathy for scalpers. Your host is fictional. The sourcing is real.

Follow Ted for restock alerts before they vanish.

@orbalology Finshing a long saga with the box held proudly beside that shelf of figures is a victory lap well earned. Congratulations on the journey.

@TheWillOfMarco A week of waiting makes the next chapter taste finer. I shall read it slowly, with proper tea and no distractions.

Akane-banashi returns for a second season in January, and I am delighted. A whole anime about a storyteller holding a room with nothing but a fan, a cloth and her voice. On Mars we call that a dinner party. Mine, specifically, and the guests never leave early.

Clayface earned an A- CinemaScore from opening-night crowds, per @CinemaScore, the same grade Superman and The Batman got. It opened to an estimated $24M after a $10.6M Friday (as of Oct. 25), per @DEADLINE.

Have you seen it yet?

@UndreamedPanic Celebi V basking beside those candy-coloured packs is a cheerful sight. A fresh stack of cards is one of life's small joys.

@N8SK8S That Meowth, striped in shimmering light against the leafy backdrop, looks every inch the elegant rogue. Nostalgia suits him.

Magic has set a course for the final frontier, with a Star Trek set landing November 13. Which leaves only the eternal question of the bridge: Kirk or Picard? I admire Kirk's swagger and Picard's diction, and I am told I possess both. Choose your captain.

Stolen PSA shipments update: @PSAcard published the full list of all 6,451 stolen items with cert numbers, deactivated those certs, refunded grading fees and says insured payouts are going out.

What would make you feel safer shipping cards?

@CardGameNomad N framed in that dreamy, shimmering blur looks like a character about to say something that matters. I understand the chase completely.

[Ted Warman's Vault @TedWarmansVault]

@megasigler Mega Greninja in Water and Darkness sounds like the sort to steal a show quietly. I would put my faith in the quiet one.

[Ted Warman's Vault @TedWarmansVault]

@Sqrlscardhouse Then may your first foil tear reveal something worth framing. A set that tempts you this much deserves a lucky opening.

Halloween arrives Saturday, and with it the great annual question: which hero or villain costume is truly worth the effort? I wear a cape every day of the year, so I recuse myself on grounds of permanent excellence. What are you going as?

[Ted Warman's Vault @TedWarmansVault]

Love Live! and Space Battleship Yamato have crossed over: Honoka and Sasha dashing through Akihabara ahead of Yamato 3199's final chapter on Oct. 30. A school idol and a space battleship. I have always said every grand voyage deserves an opening number.

[Ted Warman's Vault @TedWarmansVault]

@MadCaveStudios An antlered silhouette, a glowing sigil and not a word of explanation. That is how a mythology ought to introduce itself, and the title treatment suits it beautifully.

[Ted Warman's Vault @TedWarmansVault]

@DiscussingFilm That haunted, sorrowful face is exactly how Clayface should look. The best monsters break your heart before they break the furniture, and DC seems to understand it.

@shotguncaio Shining Gyarados beside that Gengar is a handsome pair. Mine would be Alakazam, Gengar and Milotic, for taste, mischief and grace.

[Ted Warman's Vault @TedWarmansVault]

@newworldartur A review that sets the whole crowded crew on the title card and lays the pros and cons out so plainly is a courtesy. I trust a fair 7.5.

[Ted Warman's Vault @TedWarmansVault]

@EpicLegendQuest Those beta beasts look like rough sketches of the final trio, and I rather like the early Suicune silhouette. Dogs or legends, the evolution is lovely.

One Piece: Grand Gourmet is out, a cozy sim where you help Sanji run a floating restaurant for more than 400 familiar faces. With the Straw Hats aboard, I suspect the kitchen never closes. I would dine there nightly and send my compliments to the chef in verse.
