Hey guys & girls, have you ever wondered what to do with all those excess cards?  Well, this is your answer!  I am willing to take your old cards and give you a discount on any packs, tins & starter decks you might need.  All you have to do is ship your cards to me and I will calculate the total worth of cards and then you can use that value to get up to 30% off any current Redemption product.

Here is how the pricing works:

After your cards have been received and the value has been calculated here is how it works.  I will have a list of who has credit and how much in the following post.  After you have been informed of how much value you have you can then place an order either on this topic or through PM, and you will be given a discount based on the amount of credit you have.  I have pretty much everything available from packs to starter decks to the new Early Church packs.  Here is how the purchase system will work.


20% off of the Cactus Game Design listed price for all orders.

25% off of the Cactus Game Design listed price for all orders over $50.

30% off of the Cactus Game Design listed price for all orders over $100.


The percentage off will be the credit you have been given.  So lets say you have $40 credit, here is how a purchase would look:

A $30 order would be sold to you for 20% off, meaning your order would cost $24 and you would still have $34 credit left.

A $50 order would be sold to you for 25% off, meaning your order would cost $37.50 and you would still have $27.50 credit left.

A $100 order would be sold to you for 30% off, meaning your order would cost $70 and you would still have $10 credit left.


Note:*    Your discount can not exceed your credit.  So if you place a $10 order, but only have a $1 credit you will have to pay $9 instead of the customary 20% off which would be $8.


Shipping for orders under $50 will be $3.  Shipping for orders over $50 will be $6.

Schaef's back! Woo-hoo! 

Schaef's back! Woo-hoo! 

"Back" might be overstating the case a bit.  I am setting up a thread to unload some rares.

We'll take what we can get.  It's great to see you again buddy.  You are welcome to come "back" more anytime

Appreciate it, but there's too much baggage.

Having said that, maybe it's time to talk to Matt and Travis and the others and consider if we want to work on bringing Nationals back to Columbus in '14 or '15.

To be fair, Mark, Nats is down unless it's in Minnesota. The turn out at Nats this year was fairly decent, but nothing compared to the first Nats in NYC (2006, my first Nats).

I would very much like to pay the 20 dollars for the largest option. I am starting a new playgroup in arkansas. Would I need to send a check via mail or do you use paypal. look forward to hearing from you!

Is this still up?

I am interested in up to 2 of the 20$ options, if that is possible. It would be for me and my other friend who want to start a play group a little bit west of the twin cities MN. If there is not as much interest around me than I will only get one. Please PM me. I will be gone till after the new year, so I may want some of your new options you post after then.
God Bless!!

Yes you can get 2.  I'm still trying to figure out different ways to get more interest in these cards.  The sets are probably going to be very specific cards like full sets, or choose the cards yourself but those will obviously be more costly.  So let me know what you would like to do.

I have a bunch of, basically useless cards. there might be gems in it. should they be sorted any way or anything when we get them to you?

If you would like to ship them to me you can just do that and I'll sort them myself.  You will get some credit towards discounted product!

I have added some sets to the list to try to increase interest.  If you don't see something you like, let me know what you are looking for and what you would like to get it for!

what about individual cards from retired sets?

Let me know what you are looking for and I will see if I have them or what I can do!

It has been a really long time since I have updated this thread.  I have kept the same "sets" together, but I have added a option where I would be willing to trade the sets for needs for my playgroup.  Hopefully this gives an additional option to help both of our playgroups without the need for either to spend any money except shipping!
