Fortnite Trading Cards - Page 3

I think fortnite really could improve their marketing for Merchandising overall. As stated above, having loot cards/code cards would be great, or random inserted Vbuck cards even. Panini does similar, and they give out VBucks in-game at times....
But the same with their toys. action figures...buy the figure, get even a very limited amount of Vbucks would be cool.

or their little loot packs..etc. I'd find myself buying figures or loot packs etc if they came with even some Vbucks for in-game....Plus would get kids that ARE buying the figures probably into their games to use the VBucks.

Purchased a couple of these blaster boxes from Target:

Opened a blaster during the NBA draft and pulled a Dark Vertex Legendary Skin Optichrome Holo:

Pulled another Optichrome Holo!

How hard are the Optichrome Holo cards to pull?

It looks like an average of 1 in every 24 blaster packs, or an average of 1 per hobby box according to cardboardconnection.

Ok so 1 in 4 blasters. Nice for you to go 2 for 2 then!

Thanks - I didn't even realize the first one was an Optichrome (thought it was a normal Holo) until I looked at it closer today. The image and text are slightly raised, which is the easiest way for me to tell.

I grabbed 2 20-card packs out of curiosity and hit a Chrome and foil. The Optichrome is Tempest.

I know nothing about this set (or property) but it scratched an itch.

Nice! Tempest is a legendary skin if I remember correctly, which means that's a pretty good pull

Mahomie · 11-22-2020, 07:29 PM

If anyone is looking to sell any Optichromes of Ultima Knight, Ice King, Ice Queen, or Glow, please let me know.

I have three black knight shards and four holos. Condition was not Series 1's friend so I think 8's of these will do really well over time, 9 and 10 obv big multipliers.

Wanted to update this as I got some more Megas in yest. Legendary not one per, this round it has been about 1 every 2-3.

Opened these after finding them super cheap and since I have the case (which I think is USA), wanted to open some and search for BK.

5 boxes in...no ice, but saw a holo with a light blue back and saved it for the end to slow roll

Could not believe it. Has the usual back corner crimp so probably 7-8, but over the moon actually pulling one of these:

Snagged 12 boxes total 3 left, trying my best to save for the weekend. 5 holos out of 9 boxes so far which falls in line with every 24 packs. Only other notable pull of the first 9 was a Drift ice which also had a crimp (these are Italy Megas).

Mahomie · 11-24-2020, 12:17 PM

^^^Huuuuge pull, congrats! Have you opened any Series 2 products yet?

Thanks. Only legendary holo so far so super super lucky for it to be BK. The premium on 10s of these is going to be silly...I have a holo and shards coming back I just expressed, both 7'd lol and this one will prob be right there too.

No Series 2 yet. I don't rip a ton of wax but I was eyeing up the hobby release a couple weeks ago. Surprised they sold out so quick as I would've snagged a few.

I will probably grab some soon...any recommendations? The optichrome look cool but I think if there's something similar to the megs containing ice I may try there first. I need to scope a few youtube breaks.

Mahomie · 11-24-2020, 07:59 PM

I haven't opened any Series 2 megas yet, but I've had decent luck with retail blasters. Pulled this one earlier (Glimmer Legendary Skin Optichrome):

Oh man. Valkyrie was second to none in Series 1 for me. Panini really bringing the smokes in Series 2.

Nice pull! I am more than likely going to snag a few megas to try, will report back when that happens.

Obv couldn't hold those other three series 1 megas until the weekend...no BK but did hit a peely shard

, super clean Drift base and Valor shard. I really want to know what dictated that back right bottom crimp being present or not. 2 layers of rush...first hitting something great, second seeing if it is going to 7 or 9

nera20 · 11-25-2020, 12:27 PM

what is the retail price of megas?

therocket · 11-25-2020, 12:58 PM

Opened three megas

Cracked ice of
Fusion
Ice king
Ice queen
Anarchy
Banner trooper
Pastel

Optic chrome
Street striker
Sledge

Holo
Supersonic

Got two hoppy boxes on the way but can’t get the cracked ice in them. They are sweet looking.

Big crimpin’

There wasn’t much edge chipping like some other Italian shards I’ve seen though. My first PSA return came back a week ago and I had quite a few back bottom right crimps 9 that were pretty clean elsewhere, so there is some hope for these.

nera20 · 11-28-2020, 10:34 AM

in the mega boxes what is the bonus card considered?

Cracked Ice or Shard?

For Series 2, it's two cracked ice cards per mega.

Thanks I just wanted to make sure they were called Cracked Ice before I list them thanks for your help

Think they are technically crystal shards. Checklist just calls them two rare. I would literally just throw cracked ice crystal shard rare in the title.

chasacar86 · 11-28-2020, 02:58 PM

This is quickly becoming my favorite thread lol.

Express order back on these knights, just wanted a couple slabbed. Gut tells me one of these would've 8'd in bulk, but I'm obv too impatient.

Holo is a slightly harder crimp/crease back bottom right, shards is white chipping on bottom edge (for anyone subbing and needing reference).

Guess they could be 6's so we'll take it lol.
