If you run 1-5 sets, doesn't that mean the labor on the cards is complete?? All on printer now, correct? Why would you ever pay a printer for 1-5 sets?? That makes absolutely no scents. I would agree with everything here except for the spelling of sense. Todd 1 Butcher 0 I never claimed to be articulate or the GRAMMAR GOD, that's that other guy.

Besides, when have you ever cared about the 'good cause'? All I ever remember is you putting the T&T H.O.F. down, snidely saying 'Well. it only cost 10k to sign Pat Patterson.' Tom has printed b/w cards for Wolf, Krakan and maybe others I’m forgetting. He also printed a foil card for just Apex. So I don’t think it’s too out of the ordinary to print limited copies of something, but that would be up to the crew to crunch the numbers and decide. Far as where the money goes, if Tom decided to put the money towards online, or use it to throw a giant full moon drum circle party in Sedona, that’s up to him. I’m just assuming it would go to the HOF because that’s where money from prior auctions have gone.

Because right now the answer to whether there will be an option for b/w sets is a “No.” Todd explained that this reasoning because they are focused on getting the planned 20 card set out to customers (not to mention installed online for COTGOnline players) by their assigned deadline. Completely understandable considering the massive amount of editing this set will require (both handbook & cards). Right now the best you have is a “maybe we will look into it in the future”. So since there are no plans to offer EC in black and white — until there is (if there ever is) - why not auction off a small number of sets to satisfy the hungriest appetites in the meantime? This would require a small workload from the crew while offering a much wanted prize for fans. I think the opportunity to own one of the 1st 3 or 5 black and white sets would fetch quite the bidding war. And if they never get around to making and offering EC in b/w, then you own a serious rare gem in the community. Plus the money goes to the HOF. So definitely better than nothing. Your interpretation seems different than ehat mine is regarding what has been posted. I see it as a not right now. Not a “no forever.” I’m interpreting it the same way. No to now. Maybe to later. So in the meantime auctioning off a set or two might be fun. Or it might be awful. Looks like Todd has shot down this idea too, so maybe one of the cycles in 2024 will be a b/w EC reprint. Prob the best idea since this is a starter set for new buyers and a lot of them may want this set in b/w too. So win/win.

To be fair I dont make any final decisions, especially when it comes to COTG. I just agreed that if the effort was made to do the layout on a whole 20 card set that just printing 5 copies wouldnt be worth the time IMO.

Let's put this a different way:
We are listening. It's obvious that there is a group of people who would like to see Early Classics in black and white.
I love the black and white cards. I want to see us do more of them.
Our first priority is our announced releases. However, this is something that I would like to see at some point.
That is all for now.

Mike M, thanks for the response! Again, please realize, that my main aim with this was just to make a discussion, and to see if I was alone on the island of Misfit B&W Early Classics Reimagined Toys all by myself. Clearly I am not, and great(?) think alike! Just that it is being considered is a huge plus in my mind!
