FAQs
Q>How much does this cost?
A>The current cost for the 'Current Set' is $25 per set + shipping, which is $35 to the US. One 'Set' consists of 1 of each of the listed cards. A minimum order of 4 sets is required, so $135 is the minimum order for 4 sets with shipping to the US.
Q>Does Mr. Huang ship to the US?
A>Several US anons have reported that they have gotten him to ship to the US, but he intends to be subtle about it.
Q>Will he printing more cards in the future?
A>Currently unknown. It's Chinese New Year soon so he will probably be on holiday and that, but we can hope to introduce some new sets that alot of fa/tg/uys have expressed interest in; see the 'Proposed Modern Set' and the 'Proposed Land Set'. Remember, it may take some time for the plates to be set up.
Q>What are the current issues with these cards?
A>The corners of the cards are more rounded, similar to cards from Alpha. This is noticeable if you are familiar with the difference. Solving the cornering issue is the main priority for now. They also fail the bend test after approximately 5 attempts, and they fail the UV test.
Q>What issues have been fixed recently?
A>The boldness and kerning of the font has greatly improved. The major kerning issues on the Tarmogoyf are supposedly fixed.

A>I resized these images from the original 5mb ones. Can be posted upon request if need be. Credit to illFATED for the photographs.
Q>I don't want to deal with all this hassle/I only want a handful of cards. Does he ship <small amount>?
A>As a supplier intending to sell in bulk, no. The best way to get around this is buy off another fa/tg/uy who is ordering a larger amount/does not want some specific cards.
Q>I hear Kiwibro is offering a middleman service.
A>That's true. The current payment structure is $35 for a set, with a bit of a discount if you order a few.
Cards that aren't very sought after are $2.50 per playset, cards that are moderately sought after are $5 per playset, and cards that are highly sought after are $7.50 per playset. I will post the prices for each card at another time. Shipping is approximately $7.50 to the US for a padded envelope, and approximately $10 for a small cardboard box.
Q>What's this about Unhinged Lands?
A>I need to get a little more information on this, but it will have to wait until Mr. Huang gets back.
Q>Pay via '???'?
A>Mr. Huang's Paypal account has been shut down or frozen due to Paypal being suspicious of his sales. He says he is currently working on getting a new method of payment up and running. He says he liked Paypal because it was a safe way to transfer money.
Q>Where is Mr. Huang?
A>Chinese New Year is occurring currently. Please wait warmly until the 10th of February when he will return to work.
