Yes Sir! I knew to do exactly this. I found the game after AL released. The first thing I did, get beta boxes. This past weekend I received three beta boxes and the beta play mat from team covenant.
I'm the one who posted it in the Discords from Reddit. The OP was definitely trying to pull one over on people. The post caption read something to the effect of 'out of all the boxes of AL that I've opened I haven't seen this pulled yet, and I've been watching the Discords for curios' I requested the Reddit user to post front and back photos, which were provided. When I requested video proof, communication from OP went dark.
Great vid! You're 100% correct about TCG list prices not being indicative of the actual sold price market. Been that way since Alpha. Every time I bring it up in the FB group, people try and laugh. They're the ones scalping and speculating, though, and it's kinda obvious. You don't have to shop around much to realize this issue 🤷♂️
@ivanfuchs2820 yessir! We've been calling them out for years now, and it eventually levels out. The whole "short-printed" cards thing is hilarious now, in hindsight lol
Personally just cut off the run of Beta. When/If more people pick up the game, thats when you roll out unlimited. FaB has done that, and WotC set the standard as that over 30 years ago with Alpha, then Beta, into Unlimited for the games first run.
I am really surprised that TC’s beta supply make it through the second 30-day order period. I feel everyone in the know has now grabbed 2 cases from them. If I am able to get a third in another 24 days, I’ll get a bit concerned.
annnd Canada is left in the cold.... beta boxes are close to 350 canadian if you can find one. And to those who say just order some from Team covenant.... that 350 canadian with shipping taxes and duties and exchage rate.... so yhea.... Canada is out in the cold on sorcery beta... and don't even talk about starters... hard to convice friends to start this amazing game. Also almost impossible to find single in canada also....
Not realistic unless you know someone one the states. I would have to get a po box big enough to receive the package, drive (gas) pay us taxes on box and pay duty at the border and the exchange rate… more expensive.
Not to mention most of the singles on eBay and TCGP dont ship to Canada, so they don't show up in our searches. The Canadian distributor for Sorcery has screwed up time after time, and constantly under orders. Our Beta preorders were sold out at distribution level 3 months before the cutoff date, and yet they didn't even bother trying to get more. I am lucky enough that I live close enough to the border that we can ship and just go over, but not everyone is that lucky.

Well, that’s depressing, but sadly, not surprising.
Ok, you talked me into, I just ordered ANOTHER case! ...telling my wife "It's Josh's fault" (she's used to it being her fault! 😂)
Happy to take the blame.
In germany we actually have beta boxes available. A wave arrived last week
Ebay prices are higher. Lots of people have never heard of Team Covenant either.

Is it possible to come across the border and pick it up to avoid those fees or is it still too expensive?
