    The excessive Time Spiral: Remastered inclusions makes a lot of sense actually - the set was released around the time of the big Pokemon rush, and being the "premium" set of the time a bunch of people were straight up stealing them off the shelves, or scanning different packs to get a discount (these being the versions they sent to big box stores, which is why they have the paper outer wrapping). All the Targets and Wal-Marts and the like basically declared "fuck this" and returned all of their most steal-able stock to the distributors and refused to buy more to put on their shelves, so distributors were left with tons of these things - which is probably why it's their "chase" inclusion for these particular scams.

    You know what I remember? Some card shops would sell pre-made casual decks for like 10-15 dollars. They weren't anything special, just 60 somewhat on-theme cards that served as a good jumping off point. Sure, you could usually build a much better deck for the same amount by yourself, but it was a great way for card shops to get rid of the goddamn mountains of cards they would accumulate. I remember buying a goblin one that had a chieftian, some gempalm incerators, and a bunch of derpy goblins. Eventually I tuned that very deck into a fairly capable standard Goblins during Zendikar/Scars block and had a great time. Good times.

    free speech laws are generally pretty lenient in regards to what you can say about another person or company but there are almost always hard caps in regards to libel and slander. Accusing an individual or group or company of criminal behavior is a very serious thing so terms like scam, grift, fraud or alternatively cult should probably not be said unless you really mean it and can back up your statements. products like these and others that professor has reviewed maybe be of poor quality or value and the ethics of selling them can be questioned but I don't think any of them constitute a breach of local of federal laws.

    All else being equal, I think it's better that a parent bought this instead of a intro deck or jumpstart deck for their kid. Assuming that the kid is already an enfranchised player this is going to be a better gift than another intro product. It's not a great product overall and it's cheating people out of a few bucks on average, but I don't see it as a huge crime. No enfranchised player should buy it for themselves though I bought one myself just to see what was inside it. Once is all my curiosity required. But for someone who wanted to buy a gift for me they would do better to spend $30 on this than what $30 would get them from most of what is on offer at the local Walmart. I don't need another Jumpstart or Intro deck.

In law school they use what you’re doing as an example of something that people think they can do to get out of defamation liability. So you’re not covering yourself on the defamation lawsuit front.

    @@slavisatosanovic2672 Depends where they live. I was in Thailand a couple months ago and while there's a pretty good MTG scene in Bangkok (they have like a dozen LGS in Bangkok alone though only about half of them do MTG) but the problem is that they need to import their product and Thailand has a pretty steep import duty on pretty much everything that comes into the country. Combine that with the difficulty getting enough product for the demand in country and you can end up finding anything that isn't currently being printed at two, three, or more times what they would go for in the US. If there's only a single box of TSR in the entire country of nearly 70 million people you should expect to pay a premium. In the US the ability to get the product shipped to you from major retailers means that an LGS isn't going to be too far out of whack from internet prices no matter how remote the location, but that's not true for many places in the world outside of NA.

    I like how in the printings listed for Etali on Scryfall, "Resale Promos" is an option, making the foil as worthwhile as the nonfoil from any other set. Seems they've been at this for a while too. You can look up the resale promo "set" as well to see what sort of cards you'd expect to find in these sorts of scams. And don't look now, but 2021's 7 cards have been the most cards as resale promos so I only expect more of these sorts of products to crop up in the next few years.

    Old boxes have been mapped, you just have to open a couple and you can know the rares for all the packs. Also revised pack are extremely easy to search because they are very transparent. Never ever buy individual old packs, except from maybe trustworthy sources. Chances are they have been tampered with.

  • @user-oo7qo7dj7c

    Hey TCC,. I find this selling tactic very predatory and I hate that they can get away with it. However, having done a tiny bit of research on Card Kingdom, to buy all the booster packs that you got, plus each of the promos you got (except the damaged one), you would have to pay $338.95+shipping. If you got all these for $30 each, that means that customers are actually getting, on average, more value out of them than they put in. Now, this doesn't completely vindicate the company. They sell you the dream of pulling a pack worth hundreds of dollars and then give you a pack worth $10 and and handful worth $3-$7. Booster packs are a bad way of getting singles, and because of the lack of variety you can't even really do a chaos draft off of a few of these. Furthermore, they are doing this to liquidate back-stock, and so one would expect to be getting a great deal. However, given that even the boxes without two Time Spiral Remastered packs in them represent a cheaper way of buying the packs you get than buying those packs individually, do you not think it is harsh to call this a scam? It is obviously predatory and misleading, but at least you aren't spending $30+ on like $10 worth of back-stock, like some of the trash "mystery" products you review here.

    I can understand the above sentiment, but the Professor is already a huge proponent of buying singles, as packs will almost never give you what you're actively looking for, add in that these are randomized boosters and the only thing this could possibly appeal to is Chaos draft. Yes, buying the boosters might be more on Card kingdom (Who lets be honest, have lower prices than a lot of LGS), but it's impossible to tell what you will get, and the cards inside a VERY unlikely to hold the booster's value. This is also counting current prices and these boxes will likely only ever lose value in time.

My point was that it seems harsh to chuck these in with all the scam ones that charge 2-3 times more than the value of what's inside, given that these actually give you your value for money, even if it's still a bad product.

    Time Spiral remastered is the chase pack if you get a second one. One TSR is guaranteed per box. I normally don’t buy these but I did buy the last one at a local Walmart and I got two times Time Spiral remastered‘s, and Geist of Saint Traft and Nissa as the promos. Those promos were the most valuable cards in the five packs.
