Magic Direct from Hasbro Web Store
Posted: Sat Oct 02, 2021 1:37 am
How far out is Hasbro from bypassing all middle"men" and offering direct ordering from them? I mean a web store by which shoppers can order singles, sets, draft boosters, etc. I could imagine such a site enabling print to order fulfillments.
So for example, you could go to their site and custom order X draft booster packs of any set ever (sans reserve cards) for $N a pack so you and your friends can draft old school.
Or maybe the site could have a menu that would allow shoppers to customize the appearance of a card. Choices could include various stock art or imported images, foils, retro, PC & FS borders, modern, borderless, playtest, (pretty much every border ever), any written language, custom flavor text, artist signature, and so-on. Allowing shoppers to order and Ken cards that look the way they want.
I hope it's sooner than later because I'd really like for all of my cards to look like Beta and Unlimited cards.
What other possibilities are there?
How do you think this kind of thing would effect secondary market prices?
