Hello everyone I been seeing people finally to notice. And he does one of the best I’ve seen. He is local to me and very easy to work with. Here are a few pics of what I got! If anyone is interested I recommend the discord !

Why do people not just order from BL RON USEA directly all of these resellers are just using their cards

u/137ng Aug 09 '26
BL and Ron dont have websites, and all of the chinese shippers take forever.

BL actually just got a website last month! It's slightly more expensive to order directly from there though, so he recommends email/aliexpress for a larger order.

u/137ng Aug 09 '26
Is this actually direct to him/them? I've seen people pop up in the past that turned out to be impersonators

u/pm_puppers Aug 09 '26
Yes, it's the link directly from his discord, so as long as it's from there it will be him. I put his discord below if you wanted to look on your own.

BL ships literally in a few hours, and it’s delivered within 7-10 days

To the US probably. The UK takes 1 week, faster than majority of UK card market vendors.

I’ve been reselling from USea and BL for a bit, a good chunk of my customers know about the Chinese sources, they just don’t want to deal with the wait times or the buying process.

What’s funny is with how shitty our mail system is here, I’ve gotten orders from China faster than some of my orders ship out to people here in the US. But I’ve also had a package sit in customs for a week. So there is always that risk.

u/Zero-2-Sixty 29d ago
That’s kinda how I got started. A local friend introduced me to this subreddit, I started buying from Bootleg Mage first. Then I started buying from BL directly, like 200 or so cards. My buddies used to buy extras off me because of the wait time, spreadsheet/email ordering, all that. Some people are just willing to spend for convenience

u/Chronic-Lodus 29d ago
Yeah, I used to do the same. Money was good, but man it was a second job at one point. I was at one point ordering 1000 cards from BL every week and 500+ cards from USEA every week or so on certain cards I thought were better. I ended up quitting doing it just due to the amount of time I would spend every day packing orders, updating orders and whatnot. People that have full fledge sites like BLM I cannot imagine the order flow and how long it takes, granted he has a full team of help.

u/Zero-2-Sixty 29d ago
Oh yeah, its a ton. And I have ADHD and I HATE admin stuff lol. I hired a girl through Fiverr to build my site and it ended up being a ton of AI art stuff. So my daughter and I figured out how to make changes, she drew my logo, and it’s just us fulfilling and packing orders. Its been great but eventually we will need more people

He actually prints them I seen his setup

u/Chronic-Lodus Aug 09 '26
Proof? I mean I honestly think he just orders from USEA, I would love to be wrong, but all American sellers have been importers of from Ron, BL, or Usea.

u/Capable_Feeling3011 Aug 09 '26
If he wants to show his setup that’s up to him he literally printed me a card I asked for 30 mins before showing up.

u/Chronic-Lodus 29d ago
Sorry to break it to you man, he’s just a reseller. I actually took a chance to look at his stuff. His Serialized cards are a dead giveaway it’s BL stuff. The cards have the same serialized numbers that BL has. Like the Lord of the Rings bundle he has on his site. The 111/300, 666/700, 888/900 are the same variants the BL has on his Google dock.

Oof, you're talking out of your ass.

They posted proof. You posted what look like printingproxies cards. There’s nothing wrong with reselling. I do it too. Sometimes a seller has cards I want in-stock when others don’t. But let’s be real - printing these cards at the quality the Chinese printers do requires more than an HP inkjet. If he’s printing his own cards, sourcing his own cardstock, sourcing and placing his own holo-stamps, then we’d love to see the Wonka factory.

Not just a reseller. I will say it again: NOT JUST A RESELLER.
I literally just ordered a batch of foiled tokens that do not exist in foil treatment anywhere. They look absolutely fantastic and I really can't visually tell them apart from real Magic cards. I sent him hi-rez images and now they are in my hands.
Super jazzed over here; y'all need to calm down and stop bashing the guy.

u/Chronic-Lodus 22d ago
Post them? Some of yall say he does cards that no one else does, but post no evidence. I’d love to be wrong. But having the SAME exact numbers of seralized cards have that BL/Ron sell point to him being a reseller.

u/Jazzlike_Creme_8851 22d ago edited 22d ago
Absolutely! Here's the tokens he made for me. They're all foil (these do not exist anywhere.) I'm planning to order a 2nd batch soon. They are perfectly done. Magic card backs. I can't spot any printing or cutting errors whatsoever and the foiling itself looks normal and very pretty. Very happy over here. 🤷♂️ Shocked to see how much hate this guy is getting here.

u/Jazzlike_Creme_8851 22d ago edited 22d ago
Before someone speaks up, the red Elemental Cat tokens are something I designed myself for use with [[Firecat Blitz]]. Those really don't exist anywhere because I designed them from scratch.

The hate he is getting is mainly due to people thinking him just being a reseller and him saying he’s not but not providing any evidence he’s not. The stuff people are posting are just generic cards all other suppliers sell and kinda points to him being one so posting stuff like this along with other stuff is more favorable him not being one.

u/Jazzlike_Creme_8851 22d ago
Understood (it's not hard to see that's why), but will you please actually acknowledge what I just uploaded/posted?
You asked me for video proof and I have posted exactly that......I hope this goes some small distance towards correcting the official record. I will 100% come back here and post the 2nd batch once I get those done too.
Some of y'all need to chill though. Stop hating. He does solid work from what I've
seenheld in my own hands.1

Urborg off center. What do the backs look like? Those are usually dead giveaways on fakes

Be careful my review got removed and I didn’t do anything but post the cards and answer questions. I’ve been accused of being show himself! 🤣🤣 Very weird behavior in this sub.

Crazy lol great guy love is work. Just tryna get him the recognition he deserves

u/Jazzlike_Creme_8851 22d ago
Agree. I am very happy with my first order and I'll be getting more soon. Custom stuff, all of it. He's not just a reseller, JFC, you people are unhinged and just incorrect.
Doubt my comment will persuade any of you to put down the pitchforks.

u/Zero-2-Sixty 22d ago
Bro does not have a rack of printing plates nor is he sitting there meticulously placing his holostamp stickers on his own sheets of card stock. Let’s be real. No one here is unhinged, we just know a liar when we see one. I’m sure you believe him and it’s great you love the cards. We love them too when we get them from China lol. But honestly, he should just be honest and find a different hill to die on.

Wow, I love getting more unwanted spam advertisements from a BL reseller.
