🌲❄️✨ From the Archives: Winter Cards Returning

Good evening, Blackbirds! Please read this entire post, as I’m changing things up a little.

It’s that time again as the seasons turn that we take a look back into the MBPS archives and uncover the treasures there. A fun fact to observe is that this is the first time that the archives sales have come all the way around the wheel again; our first one was last year’s Winter Archive Sale! Just another way to celebrate how far we’ve come.

For those who are new to it, Archive Sales allow me to clean out leftovers from this time last year by offering them to patrons who may have missed them, or simply want extra copies!

This season’s Archive Sale will be on Thursday, December 1st. The first batch of 18 sets will be available at noon EST, and the second batch of 15 sets will be available at 8 PM EST.

However, we are going to try something a little bit different. In the past, you have messaged me so that I can create private listings, which ensures the patron-exclusivity of this event. However, because my volume of leftovers is getting a little higher, and because so many folks are repeat buyers (and I am unable to create more than one private listing per individual), this time you are not going to message me requesting a set.

I’m simply going to create a public listing titled “FOR PATREON MEMBERS ONLY”, and in the ”note to seller” section, you’ll write your Patreon display name. Any purchases that do not include your Patreon display name, I’ll send a message inquiring about, and then if not clarified within 24 hours, I’ll refund the purchase.

So, it relies on the honor system a bit, but if it works without too much trouble, then it will make my life infinitely easier. In the past, processing every request has taken me hours! I feel optimistic that this will work as intended and be easier for all.

Each set will be $15 plus .75c US shipping or $2.60 international shipping.

Once I am sold out, the original cards are gone and will not be reprinted! So if you are a Blackbird who is interested in getting older cards, this is the only way to do so!

Good luck to all!
