How to Achieve Free Shipping on BCW Wholesale Orders

Posted on March 22, 2024 by Ted Litvan

Hobby shops, online retailers, and other businesses that resell BCW products can apply for a wholesale account to get great pricing on BCW products and have their order shipped directly from BCW’s Indiana warehouse. Once approved for a wholesale account, customers can sign-in to their bcwsupplies.com account and the pricing and Free Shipping details adjust to wholesale levels.

Achieving Free Shipping is important for retailers, so shipping expenses do not cut into their profits. BCW wholesale orders achieve Free Shipping when the bcwsupplies.com shopping cart reaches $1,000, or $500 of Music Category items.

Spring Cleaning For Card Collectors

Posted on March 8, 2024 by John Parker

By Matt Gilman of Cards Over Coffee

It’s almost that time of year. The time when you start to tear apart your house and take part in the yearly tradition known as spring cleaning.

I not only participate in that when it comes to my house, but I also do this for my card collection too. I think all collectors need to do some touching up to their collections after a long winter. When it comes to spring cleaning my collection, I have two projects that I do.

The first part of my project is cleaning out overly used toploaders from cards I acquired over the winter. The ones that are covered with stickers, tape, have “yellowing” and card savers in general. I like to have a neat and tidy looking collection, one I can brag about.

Smash the Pokemon Raid Format With Tinkaton ex!

Posted on March 5, 2024 by John Parker

The Pokemon Raid format is an asymmetrical, cooperative game where a team of players work together to defeat a powerful Raid Boss, represented by an oversized Pokemon card or a V-UNION. While the basic rules apply, there are a number of differences, such as players taking turns simultaneously, the group getting a collective number of Supporter cards that can be played each turn, and players taking their own prize cards as their Pokemon are knocked out. For more information, see the Pokemon TCG Alterative Play Handbook on the Pokemon website.
