Just called my LGS. They are going to hold one for me until 12pm tomorrow for $34.99!! Yessssssssssss
Anyone know if one should open this? Would it totally destroy value?
cards in it are selling for more individually then what u paid for it 👍

Excellent. I would do three things to them:
1. Crack them for EDH
2. Sealed box for display
3. Sell
If I were you, I know it's tempting to make a quick buck, but I would keep them. They're unique.

That's where I've been leaning. Excellent and useful cards, great memories of the old days( I started playing @13 in '95 ), and heck, I could trade or sell ones I don't need for cards I do need.

Excellent trade fodder. Trade them to the local EDH player for Standard cards!
There are many cards from past FTVs that I have been trying to get for a couple years, and no one has them. I would definitely keep mine. Unless it would be worth lots of $$$

I guess if say, one wS worth a ton and I never would ever use it...maybe then I'd part w it so I could go buy RtR.
Is there different stuff in these or is it a set everyone gets the same?
Should all be the same

But apparently there have been slight mixups.
Hope they accidentally drop a Mox or two, maybe a Lotus in mine lol

More like two o one card and zero of another.
Will hope to just not get boned and get full 15 then lol
Doing my happy dance. Got the last one they had.

Open it man. But put that stuff in hard sleeves and proxy them in your deck if you use one.
That way you retain value and *freshness* and then can sell for mint value later on down the line!
This sucks I have to wait to get my FTV from my local lgs they do like preorders on them basicly and then shop owner clears only certain people to get the very few they get or else someone buys all of them at once here 😒 hopefully I get cleared to get one

That blows bro. Hope So too and hope they only charge MSRP. 2 people came in behind me as I was buying mine and were sooo pissed as I walked by w the last one lol
That's the thing they do sell them to the cleared people for MSRP they sell everything for MSRP that's why they do it that way cause if I had the money is be that guy that buys all of them at one time lol once they sell all of the ones they get from wizards they buy more off eBay or something put them on shelves and then mark up MSRP
Ahh I see. My LGS doesn't do that as far as clearing, they charge MSRP for everything like this, BUT only one purchase per customer.
I'm still debating what to do with these. Haven't even opened box yet, lol. Afraid to.
Play them! But do like one dude said sleave the up in hard top loaders like you get trades in on here and proxy them in decks keep the box and stuff too that's what I did with my legends but I didn't proxy them because they never get shuffled our anything cause they are my generals
Lucky I want that FTV.

Great idea. At least till I sell them. If i do. Yeah gonna open it up here in a bit. Really want to play those cards.
By proxy do u mean just put a blank or something in th deck and when u play it use the card in hard case?

Or go online an download magic set editor and print it out on paper and slide it into your deck wit like the flip card marker behind it so it feels like a real card that's what I do When I play a proxy I pulled it out and set te hard sleeve down off the the side more often then not people don't care
Is it just me? Id just sleeve 'em and play 'em. 💁

Well Proxy em, sleeve em play em sounds good too lol.
Sigh..still afraid to open the box lol.
If I sell these cards in a few months I could pay toward a few medical bills and buy a booster box of RtR is my thinking
Huge MTG nut so hard to think of selling but could get me even more cards and some irl help...grrr
Wish I could of gotten two, one to play, one to sell lol
In my personal opinion (FWIW), you could probably get more from selling each card separately anyway. Compare with other, older FtVs.
They come pretty much oppened already. I got mine, read the poster, used the spindown at FNM, then put everything back exactly the way it was. You don't even have to tear anything! :) Now that I've used the die I will be happy to trade it for RTR stuff.

Yup, I've done the same. I think i will store these in the box as they came, rather than my album, until I make a spot in my decks.
These cards are too amazing...except for desert lol
