It depends how you look at it. Was your $7 ticket including a free card? If they put this single card on sale later would it cost $7? I doubt it. It's Nacho Berrera. Someone not going to make a set or even Prime really so it was given away rather than find a way to sell it.

I can't wait for him to arrive. Though, Nacho might not want too. He's getting a title shot against Nick Bockwinkle when he gets here.

I just looked at his stats online. Boy, Howdy. Nacho might be in trouble.

Interesting discussion on the idea of exclusives and collectible cards at Filsinger Games. I have some thoughts on it, that I may see about sharing on an upcoming podcast myself. Would also be interested to see this as a discussion on the Filsinger Fan podcast or Unchartered Territory.

I do understand both sides on this one, but overall, it's kind of the way stuff (Collectible Cards, Toys even Board Games) has gone now. I knew i was working a hellish schedule that weekend, but for me, decided $7 was worth paying for a Con i couldn't attend to get a card i couldn't get otherwise. I will be on the other end, being a little ticked if they DO release it again (outside of Con) as it would be a bit frustrating to see it released for $3 in the store later. I DO completely agree that releasing him in a different version/art/stats at a later point would be fine as it wouldn't undermine the card that we got for buying tickets.
Hope that made sense as I haven't had my coffee yet, lol...

I’m not a fan of exclusives, etc, but we got a good price for both online and a printed card for $7’(basically) . I have no issue with it being released a year from now with a promoter picking either the printed or online for $5 or both for $9.

I have no issue with it being released a year from now with a promoter picking either the printed or online for $5 or both for $9. That's an interesting idea. Sort of a timed-exclusive sort of thing. I'm pretty sure video games do something along these lines. Those that pay and attend the con, get the card for free (or included in the price... however you want to look at things). Those that can't attend the con have to wait a certain amount of time before they have the option to purchase it. As someone who has been playing the game for a long time, I'm not really worried about myself missing some things. I scoop up everything I want. I just think it kinda sucks for future fans of the game to not ever have the option for a card, even if it is for someone like Nacho Barrera. Exclusives exist in other games and collectable lines. While they are fun for those that get them, I think they can be a big frustration for those that miss out.

Things were so much simpler when the big convention giveaway were Leslie’s brownies.
