The new set goes to the kids who show up.
Loyal Dibs helps local card shops hold hot releases for league players and regulars first. Scalpers get whatever’s left, if anything.
Who hears first when ten boxes arrive
The shop sends offers down the line. Each family gets a few hours to claim or pass, and anything unclaimed moves to the next group.

Come in by closing the next business day and pay at the register like normal.
Missed it goes back
Unclaimed boxes and missed pickups return to the shop for the next family in line.
