Black Friday Poll


Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and the deals and sales will be showing up everywhere. A quick question to buyers;

Do you look forward to box sales from the card companies, Blowout, Dave & Adams, etc.?
Or
Do you look forward to individual card sales from eBay, COMC, etc.?  

I don’t open boxes so I look forward to the individual card sales and the specials from COMC, not to mention their free shipping. They offer free promotions for sellers too over three days, I just set up my promotions for Black Friday.

  1. I definitely look forward to COMC's sale - though it seems that they did away with the scratch tickets this year, which is half the reason I held my cards there all year.

    Box sales aren't usually in my budget but I placed an order with Blowout Cards over the weekend and it arrived yesterday. Their shipping is so much faster than COMC, and their sales are set up better than Dave & Adam's IMO. I used to enjoy D & A's hourly specials, but it stressed me out too much.

    1. I looked at COMC's blog last night and I didn't see anything about the scratchers as part of this year's promotion, that is a bummer. Last year I got a couple of free shipping offers but I know a couple of other bloggers that got some account credits.

  2. Last year was the first year I used COMC's black Friday promotion. Free shipping and the discounts were worth it, but I doubt I'll take advantage this year.
    I love following box sales on Blowout AND Dave & Adams, but I have never purchased anything during their Black Friday promotion. Man, do I like to window shop! My wife on the other hand, picked up a couple of discounted boxes for my birthday later this year. I'm a lucky guy!

    1. There are some boxes that I would love to pick up but my budget is so slim it is easier to stick to singles. It seems like forever since I opened a hobby box of anything, it has to be at least 3 or 4 years.

  3. I usually do get pretty excited, but this year I probably won't do too much trading card shopping for Black Friday. I may check out COMC a little. I've ordered a couple of art commissions as artists roll out their holiday sales. My only planned Black Friday shopping at the moment is a gift card from the local tattoo shop.

    1. I added some credit to my COMC account hoping to find some great discounts. I was hoping they would do the scratchers again this year but it looks like they will not have them.

  4. I would love to look forward to boxes but my budget doesn't allow it. I look forward to COMC's free shipping because I have hundreds of cards waiting since last November.

  5. When I can manage it, I like both. The past two years I was able to get 3-4 boxes and a good amount of singles, but this year I only have enough for one or the other, and thanks in no small part to scoring a sketch card as the guaranteed hit out of a recent discount Star Wars blaster taking the pressure for a big pack pulled hit, singles won out.

  6. I love both. I never save enough money throughout the year for them, though. It's not like I don't know they are coming along. At least with COMC I already qualify for free shipping as I have 120 cards in my cart already. The number will surely grow soon. Last year I didn't buy anything from the DA sale, the year before I got 6 or so boxes. Don't know what this year holds but I have less than $100 to split between the two, so probably not much.

  7. Normally, I'd try to buy some boxes from either DA or Blowout and if there was a shipping special on COMC, I'd take advantage of that. This year... I probably will avoid buying any boxes. However I hope I can find 20 cards to buy on COMC, so I can take advantage of their free shipping.
