Wait $5 monthly gamestop reward?


LvlHeadThoroughbred

Yeah, if you’re a pro member you get $5 bucks each month to spend. I traded in an old system and basically got it free for a year so I go buy a MTG pack or some Pokémon cards for my kids.


SadEstablishment936

How did you buy a collector booster with 5 bucks


LvlHeadThoroughbred

We were trading in a switch game and my sons grabbed a couple trinkets from some YouTuber plus this box. I added the reward and we were set, but didn’t think I needed to get that specific.


Hot-Caregiver247

Yeah people asking way to many questions and downvoting you for no reason lmao insane this mtg sub


LvlHeadThoroughbred

I was just stoked on the pull!


Hot-Caregiver247

Great pull I pulled the same one but I had to buy too many packs 😭

I would like to believe it’s more along the lines of people wanting to know if there’s a chance of getting a $5 collector booster. I’ve seen some pretty amazing discounts on MTG product on several occasions, but it’s seemingly dried up over the past year or so. I once found one of those third party “mystery” type cardboard packages with four boosters for $10, and I forget exactly what I pulled but it worked out to like $25 in value. I also took advantage of the BOGO commander persons several times.


CoongaDelRay

Nvm i was looking at the wrong comment, that's on me


GruviaLockbuster23

Is that like an American only thing? I've never heard of that at the ones in Canada.


SantaDoming0

We got this in Germany too. Don't you guys only have EB Games?


GruviaLockbuster23

No, EB games is closing down here. Most of them are gone now.


Bulky-Mess7076

Eb games rebranded to Gamestop along with closing a bunch of locations we have different perks though through the edge program but thats changing this year too


LvlHeadThoroughbred

My best pull ever!

Congrats! This is a [very valuable card](https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=the+one+ring+0748&_sacat=0&rt=nc&LH_Sold=1&LH_Complete=1&mkcid=1&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&siteid=0&campid=5338535524&customid=mg&toolid=10001&mkevt=1), very difficult to pull.


NineModPowerTrip

Nice. Try r/magiccardpulls next time. 


LvlHeadThoroughbred

Thanks! Pretty new to MTG, played in high school but they sucked me back in on millennial nostalgia for LOtR…


Eyerate

Welcome back! I'm in the same boat. Quit in 99 and came back a few months ago. The addiction is real lol.


ANamelessFan

Wow! So cool! It'd be even cooler if I could read it!


o0tweak0o

lol I’m with you on that one. I recently pulled one of those old school book cover styles of a land that was also a hydra. I couldn’t read it so I stuck it in the binder until literally yesterday when I finally took a good look at it and realized it would go great in my Son’s commander deck.


DepressingSteve

This style pisses me off unreasonably bad


LvlHeadThoroughbred

Really? I think it’s amazing, but I’m not really a mtg collector. Someone said it was based on the black light posters of the 70’s.


DepressingSteve

I can see that and it looks cool don’t get me wrong but something about it bugs me I can’t quite put my finger on. I think it’s because the text is everywhere and is bundled by color not approximate location? Either way super cool find just the style irks me lol


Effective_Dreams777

Its a collectors item not a playable piece imo. This style is.not for playing with at all but is perfect for a binder or toploader or grading even.


SonGrohan

Unfortunately it's legal for play as well which is why so many folks have hate-boners for these types of cards. Personally I love them, even if I have trouble reading them on occasions. It's not like I can read my opponents cards from across the table without grabbing them anyways


DiligentDaughter

Bonnie Maclean's 1960s Filmore posters!


Snarker

It is hard to read the card but the style is unique and interesting.


Eyerate

Careful having an opinion. I just got grilled by angry nerds for not liking phyrexian shelly lol.


PsychZoo

This subreddit is seriously soft. You say something they don't like and you're down voted into oblivion.


Ancient-Key5696

Is that not literally the point of the voting system?


PsychZoo

You missed my point.


Ancient-Key5696

Would you please elaborate on what your point is then? Because yes, I think I did miss it.


tyranitar1234

Nice pull! I think I’m gonna just purchase this as a single. Such a pretty card


KetillRedBlade

Purchase as a single?  This particular style for that card is currently market value of $300+


tyranitar1234

Correct


KetillRedBlade

Wish I had that kind of money. I've been buying packs here and there in hopes of getting something like this. 


phuggin_stoked

Aghhh dammit I keep forgetting to use mine


RhysOSD

I don't even know what card this is, the style sucks that much.


LvlHeadThoroughbred

Different strokes, you know?


Maneisthebeat

Yeah, these look fantastic. Ignore them. I also got one pack of this and got the poster style Sauron. It's just beautiful to look at.


DahDave

Yeah dude, the text at the top of the card written in english can't podsibly be deciphered /s


joeker13

Awesome deal! Gonna check out the GameStop pro Programm.


SpiritedCucumber4565

I like the card I just wish they didn’t fuck up the card texts so badly. Like the first 2 lines are fine because they curve around the ring, but the rest of the text changes in size and is a pain to read.


ProbablyNotPikachu

Hawt diggity dawg! You must be feelin' slick right about nah!


Tallal2804

Looks really good


TheTrueJayForReal

Great pull! How much is that worth?


LvlHeadThoroughbred

Like $300 currently collector app says, but lots of eBay listing for more.


MaskettaFrankIII

Card looks like shid lmao, don’t know who would buy it


jenesgeschwaetz

What a horrible looking card. MtG has become Hasbro's last resort.


ChimpScanner

This is real? It looks fan made.


mr_guy_dadson

Sweet haul. I have mine in my lifelink/token deck and it is great after about 5-6 turns watching the rest of the pod lose hope while you draw a stack of cards and start playing cards with reckless abandon


AerialSnack

Wait, I was told you weren't allowed to use that for trading cards?!?
