I don't want to miss any out-of-print cards, that's why I ask this question.So this EX card will not appear again after the event?
This is the point of this exercise ... to create FOMO or '***** of Missing Out'. Pay up now or miss out.
It's hard to guess what will really happen.
As
@Number6 said, according to Totem the first couple 'SEC' cards were to be 'exclusive' and 'would be never to be sold again'. Totem obviously saw the huge profits and exclusives were renamed to 'SECs' and those cards that were never going to be available again are of course available in the weekly games.
Will the new exclusive variation remain unavailable unlike the original exclusives released as forever 'unavailable' is hard to say?
My guess is they will find a way to sell the card again. Possibly releasing it as a NFT or NFT bonus loot box of sorts.
But I think it will take time as there is no urgency on Totem's part for various reasons:
- The overall catalog is much larger now so 1 card in lost sales will be missed less
- The inventory of exclusives is a magnitude larger now so again 1 less SEC won't be a factor
- Totem seems pretty committed to NFT so it's going to take a while to give up on that
While I do think the NFTs will eventually be rolled back into the core product; I do think it will take a while.
Not sure if the new exclusive card will make it to the store or not but my guess by the time it does nobody will care as it will for the most part forgotten. I remember the original exclusive card (Niemira Christmas card) but couldn't tell you the 2nd exclusive or even the most recent NFT.
