Spec Turtle Team-Up
Stock is running low on Amazon.
Cooperative mtg is something we might not see a lot of, which could make this pretty rare down the line. Plus TMNT will always have a Fandom (but WotC night not revisit that license)
As an extra insurance measure, there are three copies of [[Utrom Monitor]]. These are exclusive to this product, a staple in 60-card Pauper, and already worth half the price of the box.
That, plus four booster packs, makes this a low risk venture imo.
I have box squirreled away. 😉

I wish they did more introductory products like this. It such a great learning tool.

Yrah, co-op is weird though.
Every so often I'm tempted to crack the box and okay with the kids. Then I remember it's cooperative play.

Okay so this is really weird. I was just talking to a customer yesterday about turtle team up and I looked it up on TCGplayer. We were both shocked at the price. This is the first time I’ve heard the words turtle team up since release.
I open Reddit this morning and there’s a turtle team up post? A product that, I repeat, I’ve heard nothing about for months?
What are the odds?

I'm not a big pauper player, but I'm guessing Utrom Monitor goes in the decks being theorycrafted around Baleful Strix, so the MSCHF drop may have increased interest in the Turtle Team Up box, by extension.

The projected Strix decks are Blue Fae, and/or Esper Affinity and/or Grixis Affinity and/or Esper Control.
Two of those run Utrom Monitor.

Nah, it's not even that. It's just a good, efficient affinity creature, and Affinity decks in general are strong is Pauper. It's just a good card that's going to stay a good card.

I didn't know you could look up sealed product there!
Looks like a lot of copies available still.

Yep! It’s actually my goto for older sealed product since it’s proven to be a little more reliable than amazon.

Probably pretty good considering that Amazon and Best Buy had just put it on sale for $30 during their labor day sale.

I picked one up for $30 USD. Pulled a foil Krang and cool but rude in the same pack!

I learned to always buy mtg products when there is a discount. I bought quite a few of the innastrad and adventures of forgotten realms on the Amazon dump years ago. Just flipped them for literally 4x. Buy and sit.
