MetaZoo first debuted the tarot cards at Long Beach Collect-a-con with various ways to win the black-bordered sample cards. Attendees could win them via a giant Seance spin-wheel if the wheel landed on the Seance set logo and they chose the correct bag as a prize. MetaZoo’s Chief Product Officer, Andy Mourat, was also randomly asking attendees to choose a suit; Cups, Swords, Pentacles, or Wands. If you guessed correctly, you won the card! The tarot cards given away at Long Beach are considered sample tarot cards.
If you missed Long Beach Collect-a-con, you still may have a chance to obtain a sample tarot card! The first attendees in line at New York Comic Con each day will be given what is left of the sample tarot cards. If you’re going to NYCC, be prepared and be early!
The wider release of the MetaZoo tarot cards will be red-borded, similar to core set cards. Holo tarot cards will also be available, however, it is unclear at this time what ratio of holo to non-holo tarot cards we can expect. Considering how the WPT playing cards are rolling out, I would expect that we will see 1 holo tarot card per box.
MetaZoo tarot cards will be available on October 6th via eBay Live. Similar to WhatNot or Drip, with eBay Live you bid on an item in live, scheduled auctions. Due to the nature of live auctions, we can expect that the tarot cards will start at a base price, however, the sale price of the tarot cards will vary depending on how aggressively participants are bidding for a box of tarot cards.
