Did one last box of Allure for S & Gs before it sold out and I was lucky enough to pull an auto.

Congrats! Saw the cases are now at 29 so this is probably one of the last major hits.

What happened this evening that I all of a sudden got multiple trade offers on my common base?

Sorry bud. My secret is that I try to only break when I haven't heard anything for a bit good or bad.

I'm shocked how slow these Allure cases are going. I understand little because 20 boxes per case, but wow. Wandavision is going to have to be 75% soon to sell out.

Oh no. Marvel Allure is sold out. I won't have a chance to overpay (even at 50% off) for a bunch of worthless cards. Poor me.

Seriously, though, I was hoping Allure would get to 75% off at which point I would've grabbed a case.

The game theory dynamics here are fascinating. Let's say nobody bought Marvel Allure at 50% off. In this scenario, circumstances force UD to drop the price by 75% to get product sold. However, at 75% off, cases sell quick and Marvel Allure sells out in an hour and fewer people are able to buy cases. So, is it smarter for people to buy cases at 50% off rather than risk getting nothing?

Yeah well that was one way...I do think it sold out quicker too because of the chances for autos in that section which did possibly tempt people. I do think that a 75 percent off might only happen if after another few months none of the 50 percent stuff goes below 100 cases. But so far now the only one to be under 100 is now once again defenders.

Don't sleep on Beginnings, fellas...I usually do a bit when it goes on sale and it's the most consistent for the price.
7 packs in I pulled probably the best sketch I've ever pulled.

Congrats, that is pretty good. I managed to get a sketch from it before too, of Doom as well, haha. But yeah, I keep trying anime and getting spanked.

Maybe I should go back to beginnings...

So you made up for the dozens of people who get nothing out of seven packs.

It's likely that most people will get nothing of note in 7 packs, but for the price it's the set where you can pull some really big ones.
