Many Redemption players have been on the scene for a long time. They've bought the packs, they've played the tournaments, they've traded everything that wasn't bolted down, just to get that one long-sought promo card. But as time has marched on, they have found their collection of older, more common cards growing. And growing.
And growing.

What can be done with these extra cards that you can't use? That's where The Storehouse comes in. Just like its namesake, cards that are going to be discarded can be sent to The Storehouse instead.

The Storehouse was founded for the purpose of allowing long-time players to donate their unused collection of cards to be sold or donated to new players or those with smaller collections. Donated cards will earn their donors credit towards the purchase of new booster packs.

For more information visit The Storehouse.

Update:

The first batch of cards donated at this year's nationals are in. One4music has donated nearly 200 cards, totalling $24.35 in credit, that can be used to get half-off new card purchases from the Nexus (or at the moment, my supplier, Open Sky)!

One4music, please PM me your personal information so that when you order from me in the future, I will know who to apply the proper credit to.

There is a lot more for me to calculate, there were a lot of generous individuals at the tournament, and I cannot thank them enough!

Let me know when you've got my credit calculated, I will mostl likely be getting starters to teach new players in the area... and sleeves if you carry them.

Update:

Ben Arp's donation has been tabulated. He has donated over 2600 cards valued at $463.05! Thank you very much for your contribution!

I will have a bunch of cards for you soon I am figuring 4 or 5 thousand cards you said the are going to help get playgroups started didnt you.

The Schaef · « **Reply #5 on:** August 05, 2006, 11:41:29 PM »

That's the idea. When my storefront goes up, I'll have singles for sale there as well, but so far we've taken in well over 7,000 cards and I don't have an exact count but I'd say I've given out over a thousand cards already, and I'm getting ready to ship some out to the Ship, PA group.

DaClock · « **Reply #6 on:** August 06, 2006, 02:35:18 AM »

Wow, thats an awesome amount of credit. I'll have to figure out how I want mine distributed.

Will all redemption products be avaliable? Will all cactus products be avaliable? Will other products be avaliable?

The Schaef · « **Reply #7 on:** August 06, 2006, 08:05:28 AM »

For the moment, only the cards (starters and boosters). I will talk to my supplier about the board games, but I can't make any promises on that.

angelic foe7 · « **Reply #8 on:** August 06, 2006, 10:09:45 AM »

sounds good I will work on getting them to you as soon as possible.

Jim Woolcott also made a donation to The Storehouse at Nationals this year. He does not wish to cash out his credit, but he probably got the most bang for his buck of any donors to date. With only 422 cards, he provided over $200 worth of donations! Thank you so much, Jim!

i'm counting my cards right now. you rock man this is a great idea.

:edit: alright i got like 450, ill see what the shipping is and calculate the credit.

The Schaef · « **Reply #11 on:** August 07, 2006, 07:15:40 PM »

Don't worry about the credit, I can handle that part. Just plug it into my handy-dandy spreadsheet and it spits out the number for me.

xCOLINBODAYLEx tkp · « **Reply #12 on:** August 07, 2006, 07:56:39 PM »

alright ill send em in as soon as i have time, this is a great idea, count on my support.

Schaef, I saw on one of your posts some where that you were going to start selling single cards. Are you considering doing the same thing with storehouse for single cards? I'm just kind of interested if your considering this.

May we buy Preists in September or October? I know you said wait one month and buy 10, then another and buy alot, but when do you count the release as being?

The Guardian · « **Reply #15 on:** August 15, 2006, 11:00:54 PM »

Since Priests aren't being sold to distributors yet, I'm guessing the September release will begin the one month "buy 10" period.

I haven't yet decided what I'm going to do with my singles. Obviously I am already donating some of them back out, to my playgroup and to other low-income playgroups that may need some startup cards. One possibility I am considering is making some pre-built decks and selling those. They very likely would not be tournament-winning decks since they would be short on Dominants and have few or no rares, but it might be a good way for a beginner to get a handle on Redemption combos and strategies. More details when I stop counting cards long enough to sit down and work on the idea.

The release for me is the general release, as it is the vendors I am trying not to undercut on sales, not just Cactus.

NWJosh · « **Reply #17 on:** August 15, 2006, 11:31:06 PM »

Thanks for the info. The deck idea could be a good idea. With all my extras that I can't use to make decks I'll have to think about sending some in.

DaClock · « **Reply #18 on:** August 15, 2006, 11:46:35 PM »

Sent more cards today, trying to beat Jim's record for credit per card.

The Schaef · « **Reply #19 on:** August 21, 2006, 06:39:58 PM »

It worked. 32 promos/ultras for an additional $278.20!

YourMathTeacher · « **Reply #20 on:** August 22, 2006, 03:46:20 PM »

Will your store accept PayPal?

The Schaef · « **Reply #21 on:** August 22, 2006, 04:48:25 PM »

I will make that one of my accepted methods of payment, yes.

The Schaef · « **Reply #22 on:** August 22, 2006, 11:36:49 PM »

The latest contribution to be catalogued is from Brad Coverdale, who contributed nearly 4,000 cards for $389.60! Thanks, Brad!

The Schaef · « **Reply #23 on:** August 25, 2006, 12:48:04 AM »

UPDATE:
Cards from starter decks are welcome and particularly appreciated, including Dominants and all Lost Souls regardless of type. I know these were discouraged in the past, there is now a slight change in the policy.

The Schaef · « **Reply #24 on:** September 04, 2006, 09:01:13 AM »

ANOTHER UPDATE:
Trade value for all C/D, E/F, G/H starters (except Lost Souls) has been increased to ten cents. Anyone who has starters to donate, they would be appreciated (I'm looking at you, sealed deck players).
