Those of you that prefer online, does the lack of manager cards create a problem for you at all? Do you have difficulty finding the cards you want to use? I only play LOW these days (with a couple of Indy sets as well), and there are plenty of managers available... I only started with the color reboot, but I have Paul Ellering, Jim Cornette, Bobby Heenan, J.J. Dillon, Mike Lano, Rock Riddle, and the Dark Menace that can all be used as managers... And, no problem finding the cards... Easy with custom rosters. |

I haven't really done that yet. Also, does having fewer cards available than the physical sets make you feel like you're missing out? |

I haven't really done that yet. Also, does having fewer cards available than the physical sets make you feel like you're missing out? Managers are just as easy imho... And, if I wanted to, I could get pretty much all of the cards online... I am just sticking with mostly the new color LOW stuff. There are a few updates/changes that I would like to see for the online game, but it works well for the most part, and allows a great deal of freedom as far as where and when I can play. |

I love the cards. I love holding them in my hand, shuffling through my decks, rolling dice, laying them all out when I am match making etc... With that said, I am a big supporter of Online. Definitely see the benefits of being able to play the game online. The more ways to play the greatest game in the galaxy, the better! Well said and I 100% agree. |

I like the easy of playing Online. Also, the cards typically arrive beat up and my OCD is crazy... so Online helps with that. Also, some of the physical sets cannot be purchased anymore. That must be your post worker. And totally unacceptable. Have you ever tried taking them to the post office and asking what gives? I know it's silly but paying for express or overnight might solve the problem. Can't say I have ever received a damaged card. That's my OCD lol. Gotta have the game ASAP. It's really just the cards wrapped in a rubber band and thrown in a cardboard envelope with no protection. I've experienced that since 2008. |

Sounds like you need to raise hell at your post office. FG has been shipping cards the same way since '86. Can't stay in business 30 years sending damaged goods. |

Are you getting the Priority Mail Envelope or just regular shipping? I always pay the extra for the priority mail envelope seems to add a extra layer of protection after that i just have to get the rubberband marks off the top card  As for playing I use the cards 99% of the time, Online rarely. |

I can appreciate the usefulness of Online for those that like it and have their reasons for liking it.
I still prefer to play with physical cards for a number of reasons, I guess.
One of them is that it's how I've been playing since the 90s. I'm used to it, I guess.
My big reason is that I can play with my cards when we lose power during a bad storm, or the internet goes down during the peak hours that I'm awake late at night (because of f**k you, Comcast).
Another reason I am leery of playing Online is that I already spend a ton of time at my computer and sometimes it's nice to step away from it, go to another room with my cards and dice and just play. Sometimes unplugging myself from the computer is quite necessary to maintain my mental health.

Although I am online only now, I purchased sets through the mail for years, and never had any cards show up damaged. |
