Behind the store there are numbered spaces.
Knight Ware has spaces 9, 10, and 11
but
on Sundays, 2 of our 3 neighbors are usually closed
Sun Cafe (spaces 7 and 8 - the ones on either side of the telephone pole)
is now open on Sunday, please don’t park there

The streets are metered but not checked on Sundays
The first street to the west of us is Lankersheim Blvd..
On Lankersheim to the south there is unregulated street parking
Just west of Lankersheim (north side of the street) is an open lot that says
additional MTA parking. It does not get used much on the weekends
unless the hollywood bowl is running something and then there will be signs

any questions, post, call or email me

thanks

I AM SO READY! I want those Tundras, so I hope no one plans on trying to beat me.

Just so your not confused, its ONE Tundra each for 2 people.
Need to keep the potential top 2 prizes relatively even.

What's a FBB French Tundra worth?

What's a FBB Italian Bayou worth?

What's a Beta Bayou worth?

EDIT:
(Ex to NM- condition for all)

Google is freely available to answer your questions.

Google is freely available to answer your questions.

People with experience can answer me specifically. Seeing how I have no idea what these types of cards go for, their range, and how their language affects them, I could only guess if the limited auctions are relevant and not exceptions.

[oarsman]

So you would rather rely on the opinions of random forum trolls as opposed to undertaking the arduous process of typing the card name into a price website and getting the answer in approximately 1.23 seconds?

Not random trolls. This thread, belonging to a specific location, will attract people I know. I would rather hear the opinions of people who I know and respect. Their evaluation means more to me than my assessment of the pricing of the various websites.

[Koby]

Perhaps it's better to ask such questions in private messages, as we're mostly aware who has a good idea on such information. The rest (including myself) can only speculate on their values.

I'm excited for this tournament! Now if I could only decide on a list and stick to it...

[everythingitouchdies]

Having physically handled the tundras I would say they are in the 200 to 225 range. As for the rest of it, it shouldnt be too hard to find out, but does not seem relevant to this thread or event.

Some beautiful stuff, the force of wills are seriously NM, nice as hell.

About a month away, looking forward to this.

[Jacob]

As far as grading, Lori is really strict. When she calls something NM, it is gorgeous on both sides AND flat.

I got 3 Pox last night, and she threw in the fourth for free because it was in bad shape. I had to look over the card to figure out what she meant...It wasn't bad shape as in "been through a washing machine with bleach, dried and then played daily without sleeves for the past 5 years." And she threw it in for free!

Which is one of the reasons we love Lori.

[Ozymandias]

BTW, we need to meet in the finals of this tourney to get those tundras, Jacob. My insane quest to pimp out landstill must continue.

[Jacob]

Insane is right! And I need to pick a deck and learn it. I made so many mistakes yesterday...Did you see Pattern Hulk made Top 8 at SCG yesterday?

[everythingitouchdies]

Reanimator is pretty Awesome. maybe you should try that. I will be playing it again if Kevin allows.

[Ozymandias]

Go ahead and learn it. I, for one, have never missed a top 8 with Landstill.

Of course he will, he's a lovable papa bear.

[Krieg]

This Sunday folks

Anyone else want the Tundra?
Or will the value on the goyfs be higher by then?

[everythingitouchdies]

Once again the 1pm start time is going to almost certainly exclude me from this event. I will probably just show up late and help kevin.

I will try and delay it with general debauchery. Hurry your ass up and hopefully you'll make it.

[soltakar]

Looking forward to this. Now I just have to decide what to play.
