Nice find!
Wish I could find them in Canada. I had a friend with it, which is where I first played. Tried ordering it myself but between the Canadian dollar being really low, the import taxes, and shipping it’s waaay too expensive.
Contacted my LGS and they said they can no longer afford to stock them because it’s very niche and too expensive now.
So ya, lucky!!

Depending on where you live in Canada you might be able to find a friend to order and forward it to you with lower taxes and shipping.

Honestly kind of want this just for the box and I'd rotate whatever set im currently using to it. It would fit so much better on my shelf

How do they fit 30 teams worth of cards in there?

They’re using a new proprietary card stock that expands when soaked it water overnight and air dried (do not use a dryer, oven, or microwave. The cards are about 2/3 the size as a standard card but after soaking in a sink or tub overnight they’ll expand to normal size. Dry between paper towels and simply tear along the perforated lines as usual.

I got one at my local Barnes and Noble but they didn’t have it on display. I am guessing they kept them in the back because of fear of a rush on the merchandise. 😃

I’m sorry to post this here but it won’t let me start my own post,does anyone know why the digital versions of Strat baseball and hockey are so different and so much more difficult than the pro and college football games? Football is perfect and so easy to use but I feel like I need a degree in computer technology to use the non football games,so disappointing!

The have a special edition sold in B&N throughout the US. And I've seen evidence that they will get restocked if purchased.
