SPORTS CARD TRADE NIGHT

We will host a sportscard trade night the first Wednesday of every month. (Check our Sportscard Collectors page for updates.)

Mark won $540 worth of packs at the December 2011 Trade Night! Merry Christmas!!

Bring your extra and unwanted cards to trade with other collectors.

In conjuction with that, we are running a super promotion. We will give away a prize containing one pack of virtually every sportscard product that comes out between now and then.

To participate, all you have to do is buy sportscard packs and you ought to be doing that anyway. For every $5.00 spent on sports cards singles, packs, boxes and sets, we will give you one ticket. The more you spend, the more tickets you get. Then on trade night, we will draw ONE ticket and give you a few minutes to search through your tickets. If someone produces the matching ticket, they get all the packs accumulated. If nobody has the matching ticket, the packs will carry over to the next trade night and we will add the next month's packs to it. All tickets issued prior to the drawing will be thrown away.

Trade night drawing rules

1. Must be here to win
2. We will draw ONE ticket only.
3. We will give everyone present FIVE minutes to look through their tickets.
4. If the winning ticket is present, then we give away the incredible package to the lucky person.
5. If nobody claims the prize package, we will carry over the packs to the next trade night while adding even more packs as they come out.
6. All tickets issued prior to the drawing will be tossed out.

MODERN MASTERS BOOSTER DRAFT
Where: BOSCO'S in Spenard
When: Sunday June 9. Sign up at 12:30
Cost: $30

We suggest you prepay for this tournament. We are limiting the Modern Masters Draft to 32 players as allocation of these cards is very low. (If there is enough interest, we can run our usual $15 Sunday Booster Draft in addition to the Modern Masters Draft.)

What is Modern Masters? The folks at Wizards say:

The Modern Masters set is a 229-card expansion that contains reprints of Modern-legal cards from Eighth Edition through Alara Reborn. The set will not be Standard legal and will be produced in very conservative quantities�this is a bit of an experiment for us, and we want to get it right; we will not be increasing the quantity of any card in circulation by more than a fraction of what is already out there.

We will get a limited supply on the release day of Friday June 7 and will limit you to 4 packs per person. We will set aside enough for 32 players for this Sunday Booster Draft. If there are packs left after the Draft, we will continue to sell those. We do expect a few boxes from other sources over time and will sell those as we get them.

Murder in Baldur's Gate and the R.A. Salvatore novel The Companions kick things off. Powerful forces both mortal and divine are set in motion, and will bring an end to the Era of Upheaval. The six novels and five D&D Encounters seasons spotlight the impact of the Sundering on different places and people of the Realms. Faerun will be forever changed, and your players can experience it all each week at your store!

Even more goodies this time around � player maps and non-player character (NPC) cards!

In July, players and DM's can sign up to become part of the journey through the Sundering app on our official D&D Facebook page. Each week, players and DM's will be able to report progress, show choices they've made, and impact the final outcome of the story.
