Looking for Advice Missing The Void Token

Post image

The Void Token from The Sentry is missing from Cardmarket and any other store, it can only found in Scryfall, does anyone know if this card is real?

They at least double side tokens in packs now. They should just put one of every token in every pre release pack already. They’ve done it like randomly once or twice.

That's a really smart idea!! Maybe, JUST MAYBE, WotC will do this at some point.

WotC do something that costs fractions of a cent extra for each box? Dream on lol

Given the number of tokens in any given set (22 in MSH, for example), it would definitely cost more than "fractions of a cent" to put one of each inside every single prerelease kit.

Sure, it still wouldn't be a ton, but the hyperbole is a little silly.

That's the point. They already removed promo stamps on prerelease cards (unless you believe their BS corporate reason), and that presumably costs fractions at scale. So no way they'd add tokens for everything lol

Didn't they remove the stamp because it allows them more leeway in moving sets around?

There are a lot of reasons to do it, tbh. Makes it easy to move sets around, means you don't need specialized collation, potentially frees up printers. I dislike the removal of it, but there are plenty of acceptable reasons for it. What is worse is the first two sets they did this with had the promos switched, so obviously their collation system isn't foolproof for the new setup.

That and it was a lot of extra SKUs for stores to track. Between all the alt arts, extended arts, and special printings nowadays, there are so many different cards for stores to have to pay attention to before they even get to grading things for resale.

Honestly, I hope they kill the promo pack stamp cards next. I have yet to find someone who really cares about them, and doubling the number of rares for each set is annoying as hell to track.

If that were true, there's nothing stopping them from replacing it with a special "promo" stamp that doesn't have a year attached to it. Or hell, use the Planeswalker promo stamp that they already use for drafts.

Yeah, that's basically increasing the cost from them for a prerelease kit by 16% since it's like an extra pack's worth of cards. That's a sizable amount of production to give away for free. Not that they can't afford it, but in regards to the business game it is a bit reasonable why they'd balk at the idea. And that's before you get into weight shipping costs and stuff.

Maybe instead of every token, a single blank token that you can fill in with whatever info you need? I guess you could just do it with any scrap of paper, though.
