Now I just need to see if there is anyone interested in buying mine. I wonder how many people will put them up for sale (which will crash prices hard). I wouldn't mind putting the money from selling mine towards a Mythic Edition Box
EDIT: nvm. That seems like an awkward thing to put in the mail.... How exactly does that work? And do people cut these or are these glorified posters... Sorry, never even knew these existed. (other than of course during print process)

They ship rolled up in a poster tube, and yes, they do tend to be nothing more than posters, albeit expensive, highly collectible posters. And yes, some people do attempt to cut them, in fact there is a term for cards such as those: NFC, which stands for Non-factory cut, and they tend to be worth less than factory cut cards bc its very difficult to duplicate factory cut cards. Also, most NFC’s tend to be from much older sets, bc newer cards are cheaper and most importantly much easier to come by so there is little reason to cut up a sheet of them.

the compensation is somewhat of a soft confirmation that it may not have been logistically feasible to create and then print something unique, or even print something that is/has been scheduled to be printed at some other time. so unlike the case with the UMA box toppers being given out, which had already been produced and packaged, wizards went to what they could get in a timely manner.
id imagine many will probably think theyd rather just get that sheet, but cut into cards. however, it being a sheet retains the spirit of a collectors piece, while not quite being as on the nose about 'here are some cards indistinguishable from what is found in packs, and thus worth exactly as much as seen on the secondary market'. i cant say i know anything about getting the sheet cut properly after getting them (straight cuts would leave square corners, even if exact to card size - thus not tournament legal afaik). i know people do this, particularly for mis cuts, and play with them; so its not impossible.
as for how many of these will be out there (ie the number of people being compensated with them). hard to tell exactly with it being a given that some significant portion of the 45k 'sold' shown a the end of the ME sale were just failed/erroneous transactions. my guess if i had to throw a number out would be in the 15-20k range.
lastly, and this is assuming they are all contained on one sheet, the JPN alt-art walkers are the obvious potential alternative that meets the conditions i mentioned at the start (in production right now). im dubious that wizards didnt realize it as a consideration, which therefore means they actively decided against it. their rarity (show up half the time), and how sought after some of them are (as reflected in their market price atm); might have had an uncut sheet with the full foil set of them together being worth quite a bit down the road.

No single uncut sheet will have all 36 alt arts (unless they do something different for alternate arts and I am unaware) since half of them are uncommons; they would be on a separate sheet than the rares and mythics.
I dont know what to do with this. Normally a Foil R/M Uncut would be very cool. However, I wanted to actually play with my cards, open them for draft and wizards tower, keep what I wanted and trade the rest. What am I supposed to do with a sheet. Since 20 thousand other people are getting one, it wont be exactly rare or necessarily profitable to sell. I dont have space to display it.....
I have also received the message from eBay do consent the cancellation of the order but it’s only for one order, the other one for 2 boxes still shows on eBay has “Paid” the other is like “cancellation requested”.
I did not get an email.. Is there any indication they will offer this to those of us who got "Your payment didn't go through, so the order was cancelled. Please pay for this item again."
WoTC: Heres 2 Foils of every Rare Planeswalker and 1 Foil of every Mythic Planeswalker. + Heres two foil copies of every other rare in War of the Spark and one foil copy of every other Mythic in War of the Spark.
Me: Well that sounds......pretty AWESOME
WoTC: Well you cant exactly use any of them because we are going to send them on a rolled up uncut sheet.
Me: Oh.....uh.....hmm...{could you cut that sheet for me?)
WotC: Could you go ahead and agree to cancel your orders even though you havent received any refunds yet and some arent even pending?
eBay: oh wait heres $20

Been a member here for over a dozen years. Playing since '95 just got lost in the twitch shuffle.
I did get my Mythic Edition yesterday. I got an email to cancel my second order and was going to do that, but ebay says not to cancel until you receive your refund
"How would you like to respond?
I accept the seller's request to cancel this transaction.
You should only accept the cancellation request if you haven't paid yet or you've already received your refund from the seller. If you haven't received your refund, contact the seller"

Am I the only one that thinks it’s funny that you’re getting an authentic Mythic/Rare uncut foil sheet with genuine curling straight from the printer?
Looks like they're just taking their time with sending out orders. Just got my shipping confirmation about 5 minutes ago. FedEx shipping from PA to CA.
As for the sheets, keep in mind that those (and the $20 gift card) are free.
You WILL get a refund for a non-received product. And if your order has not been refunded, but was canceled, you can now open a claim with eBay, who will step in and get the refund for you if the seller is not cooperating. Ebay is extremely favorable to buyers at the expense of sellers.
I would genuinely rather just have store credit or some booster/promo packs than an uncut sheet. An uncut sheet is literally just going to sit in my basement in its tube collecting dust and further curling.
Then again, I'm still salty that they didn't make the alt art walkers the stained glass ones.

I kept telling people to keep their cool. As nutso as this process is, of course it's going to take them extra time to ship.
And to those people complaining about the uncut sheet, that's FAR more value than I expected them to give out as a concession. Heck, the $20 is more than I expected. Uncut sheets have some real value and getting the foil one is even harder. I am actually confused at how they are going to have enough of these sheets laying around to send out. Maybe they still have the presses up and ready.

They said they were sending for more to be printed.
Friend of mine got his shipping confirmation (to europe) 5 minutes ago, I got my complete refund for my confirmed and paied order via Paypal today (no email from Ebay regarding any compensation ) and my brother has a confirmed and paied order (with NO shipping costs/taxes - he only paied the product price) with no cancelation or shipping confirmation. He asked Ebay about the status of his order and they told him "it looks like your order has been shipped and it should arrived about the 30th may" - Äh?
Again, totally can confirm, got the email a little over an hour ago.
Oh **** sorry! I didn’t even see your post there. I thought I refreshed the page before posting.
