sales@potomacdist.com (Potomac Distribution) — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 22:08:00 +0000

We've had a number of customers asking about our depleted KMC deck protector stock this week. We've had a huge demand for KMC sleeves over the past week or two, and as a result our standard size stock is very low and we are almost completely out Yu-Gi-Oh size sleeves.

The good news is we have a large KMC restock shipment on the way that should arrive around the middle of next week. We expect to have every design available at that time, including the new Metal Rose sleeves and oversized Character Guard sleeves.

If you are looking to place a KMC order for deck protectors that we don't have currently, please email us at sales@potomacdist.com and we will contact you as soon as our restock arrives.

Vampire: The Eternal Struggle fans - Remember that the new Heirs to the Blood set is shipping next Wednesday, February 3rd. It's not too late to place your pre-order and have it shipped next week!

Booster boxes are $63, 10-box booster cases are $619, and starter boxes are $49.
