Yes and I still do believe thats true. Im not taking any responsibility for what this guy has, hell I don't even know him personally. My main point was there are a lot more Wyverns than people think. If he wanted to get rid of them all at a decent price thats up to him, if he wants to sit on them also up to him.

Absolutely, Ryan.

Just to clarify, my Post wasn't to criticize you.
Quite on the contrary, I think we're both trying to say how weird this person is acting... having 6,000 (!) of cards that sold about $50-70 + each until recently and letting that news leak and even wanting to sell them in block ?!?! [-X ](*,) :-O #-o

Is Opening wyvern backed cards out of wyvern boxes a reality? I have never heard of anyone pulling them from these sources, only from regular FE packs.

The store I work at is sitting on
130 + Premiere Base Set Booster Boxes
150+ Premiere Base Set Starter Boxes.

Thats why I ask :-O

Well, depending on how much he wants, we could team here and buy them together on the forum.

I need one complete set myself.

Ok, I'm confused. I've NEVER heard of them from FE packs. ALWAYS Wyvern packs...

I'm confused too! I don't like the idea of 300 lbs of useless Wyvern cards.

They were in wyvern packs every time I saw them.......never heard of a FE pack having one......., we had a local guy buy a box of Wyvern from cliffs comics for $30 in 1996.....the whole thing was wyvern backed FE.............needless to say, every box of wyvern in the area skyrocketed........I think I saw a few more misc get opened, but the supply dried up pretty fast......guy used the money he sold them for buy a Hyundai........heh

So what you are saying is they don't have Wyvern backs, but Fallen Empires fronts! :-D

So the opening is done, and suffice it to say, the majority of voters are correct. I am retarded! A close 2nd are the people that voted "None of the boxes will have misprints".

I suspect (although I thought this before I purchased the Wyvern boxes), that this error was regional similar to Summer Magic (which could explain why there is someone sitting on 6000 wyvern misprints).

I was just hoping to win the lottery!!! :-\'

Time to slowly bleed the remainder off on ebay ](*,) Anybody feel like taking up a new CCG?

You would have been a genius if you hit it though :wink:
I think I'd have taken the risk as well depending on the $$$ you spent. The shipping was probably the worst of it...
