You have enough books to read to keep you busy 😅

I hope that the analogy doesn't go so far that a friend of yours ends up trying to wrestle you for it and then it ends up falling into your fireplace. If you have one.

They don't seem to have wrappers? This would be a disappointment to me at least. Can anyone please confirm?
Still greatly anticipating their release!
Thanks

You can see pictures earlier in this thread, no dust jackets.

Thanks again, yes, what I feared. I tend to store my boxes safely and put wrapper protectors on the books. Will just have to treat them gently 🙂

No, no dustjacket.

I lined them with polypropylene without touching the book with the cellotape...which is a pain in my axe to do😄

Just arrived :)

And for those wondering, they do come in a protective box.

Look out for a TCG review on Thursday 12th September 2024.

I had a brief moment when I saw the outer box
