Pirates CSG - Unpunched vs. Punched & How to Recard Punched Ships

The physical cards in Pirates CSG are unique in that in order to use a card, you have to physically "damage" the cards and punch the pieces out. To most who play the game, this isn't a big deal. For some collectors, they are looking for quality, unpunched cards.
In this video, I show you the difference between Unpunched and Recarded or Punched cards. Not only that, but I also go over how to recard your ships. This can be helpful to store or ship a large Pirates collection.
Be sure to check out the Pirates Database to browse through cards and find specifics on cards I mentioned. tilorfire27.gi...

Once in a great while you can find SE box ships unpunched, but they're only from factory sets AFAIK. Rarely sold individually though, and always better to assume punched as you said.
Nice video!

Thank you! I think factory sets are so rare at this point, I'd rather someone assume it is unpunched and then be pleasantly surprised. I store 95% of my stuff recarded or unpunched since it can take up a lot of space to store everything punched.
