Prerelease Public Service Announcement

From PVDDR's prerelease primer:
"Before I leave, I wanted to talk a bit about the Expeditions. As you may or may not know, Battle for Zendikar has a number of promotional lands that you can open, some of which are worth hundreds of dollars. Since it's not obvious that those cards are super expensive, some people are going to be actively trying to get as many as they can at the prerelease, from people who don't know how much they're actually worth - usually kids. Don't be one of those people. Don't let anyone else be one of those people. If you see a person trying to rip someone off with those lands, jump in and stop them. If you're a tournament organizer or a judge, tell your players that those cards are valuable. Let's not make anyone feel horrible for being tricked with the Expeditions in this prerelease."

Just being honest here, if I heard about anyone ripping some kid off his Expedition lands, I'd probably open up a can of whoop ass right there in the store. If you are that kind of person, you don't even deserve an explanation. You know exactly what you were doing, and so do I.

I agree, I play with a really casual playgroup, mostly 10-15 year olds who don't care about value. If one of them crack one, I'm going to tell them to double sleeve and frame that bugger and never trade it to anyone.

As I recently had an experience trying to stop a shark, I'll be the first person to explain to the person that is the "mark" what is happening and to end the conversation right there.
People like this make me sick

I just turned 14, so I can't wait for some player to try to rip me off because I look like I just started playing. One can dream.

You would that in the smartphone era such sharking would be a thing of the past...
However, if Paulo has to mention this in his primer, then it is still needed.
Thanks for reposting this!
