Bump

Foil warping can be caused by a few different things: moisture, temperature, time, and probably some others. Most of my foils I generally keep in a secure/tight location. For example, my all-foil cube is kept in a pretty snug box so the foils don't have any room to warp. What you said was correct though, foils eventually warp no matter what. The foil layer is made of plastic which responds differently to moisture, temperature etc than the cardstock it is attached to.

How many sleeves are you talking? It depends on how many cards you decide to double-sleeve. I personally only sleeve a few hundred so buying 1000+ wouldn't make sense.

For cheaper cards I would say it just isn't worth it to double-sleeve. The value difference between a NM and LP $1 or 50c card is negligible. Unless it's in a deck with more expensive cards then it's a good idea to double-sleeve the entire deck.

If a deck doesn't contain any high-value cards I just single sleeve it. I have never had that be an issue.

If the card isn't part of a deck then it's pretty much just sitting in a box or binder and as such won't be susceptible to any damage. In general all of my cards that aren't in a deck that are worth more than a couple dollars are single-sleeved and in a trade binder.

I forgot to respond to your questions about pricing: A 100 pack of Ultra-Pros, at the closest game store to my house, is $8 plus tax which is, obviously, more expensive than the double sleeved 75-card deck you quoted. I'd say <$8 for double sleeved is a pretty good deal especially with KMC sleeves.

You don't have to specify a card that you want.

Select Trading opportunities > Change the setting for "I'm willing to trade" to "Specific cards" > Enter a card you have on your tradelist > Click Apply Filters > Profit.

The dropdown when entering the card name doesn't automatically display specific copies of cards from your tradelist so you have to enter that criteria manually. Generally though it's better to leave the card attributes blank as that will provide you with the most hits.

Edit: Forgot to mention that if someone wants a specific version of a card that doesn't match the copy(copies) you have available they will show up on the trade opportunities list, but you won't see that card listed under the list of cards they want from you.

TCG mid shows $2.99.

The 7th edition foil was expensive (I sold 3 for more than its current price a few months ago) because it was the first foil printing, a very small foil print run, and it's a classic joke card. As for the 8th edition, I guess someone is trying to do the same thing.

This is the Site Discussion forum, not the place to look for support from the DB admins. That would be the "Support & Feedback" link at the top of the page.

• As it is right now, decks built on Deckbox are simply a list of cards, not a list of specific copies of cards that a player owns. The feature that you are asking for is on Sebi's to-do list and I would bet that it's pretty high as it is suggested at least a few times a week.

• As for the "Needs Attention" list/filter you mentioned, I've been on DB for a couple years and I have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

• Autotrade worked just fine for me. What exactly were you expecting it to do?

It's possible the deckbox price is off. However, I can only find about 5 or 6 copies available online for ~$3 each. 0 copies available on TCGplayer. Perhaps there was a buyout.

Edit: Hmmm, 8 copies available on SCG for $2 each. Looks like the deckbox price is just off.

How about just disable the 'Accept Trade' and 'Propose Trade' buttons? That way they can continue discussing ongoing and new trades, but won't be able to finish/confirm them until the dispute is settled.

Edit: The above possibly in addition to what PhillipW suggested, an indicator on the trade pages.
