I opened a Commander Bundle just over a month ago, primarily to obtain five of the thirteen TLE promo cards exclusive to this product.

About a week ago, I pressed buy on the ten other singles via Cardmarket's Shopping Wizard. They have been slowly filtering in from different sellers, with the final two landing today. Between the postage, their rarity, and the fact that these cards are all reprints of playable Commander staples, this is possibly the most expensive binder page in my collection.

Speaking of expense, I also secured a prerelease-stamped copy of Badgermole Cub. This card is seeing a lot of play, so I expected it to be one of the most challenging prerelease cards to acquire.

I actually got the Cub at a decent price. It was seriously well protected in transit: rather than the usual piece of protective cardboard, it came inside a perfect-fit inner sleeve, inside an outer sleeve, inside a toploader, inside a sealed plastic wrapper. Felt like opening a sealed product rather than a secondhand playing card.

I should note that this wasn't even the most expensive prerelease card I purchased this month. I really struggled to find any reasonably priced listings for the stamped Wan Shi Tong, Librarian. I tried negotiating with a few unreasonable sellers and got nowhere. Eventually, a copy turned up at market value and I managed to jump on it. It should be arriving in the post any day now—watch this space.
