I collect English Cards, but live in Germany, and I’m interested in some of the newer upcoming sets. Issue is: The ““““investors”””” are scalping everything up. ; Is there even still a feasible way to get product for MSRP? What’s my best bet?
You won’t find English products for MSRP in Germany in the current situation. The only way to find any products for MSRP is to buy them in regular stores and those only have an official distribution for German products, so English is out of the question. Your best bet for English at MSRP might be to get an invite for a product on Amazon UK, because they do international shipping afaik.
Sorry to say this, but MSRP is a fantasy. It’s not even a reality in the USA, where the cards are printed.
Your best bet in Europe is Cardmarket . It’s where sellers constantly undercut each other, which is the closest you’ll get to a fair price. Forget waiting for MSRP; it’s a “Manufacturer’s Suggested Retail Price,” not a law. If you wait for that price, you’ll end up with nothing.
Which by the way is a perfectly fine option too, don’t let the general hype in the current situation or FOMO pressure you into buying anything.
