Isn't the point with promo cards that they are limited and you can't just "get hold of them".
Especially not after a while..
Just a thought.
No, it's a bad practice that disenfranchises a whole bunch of fans who either joined the party too late or had the misfortune not to live close to where the convention was being held. I'd far rather that FFG used preview cards of their next set than one-off cards which eventually get sold by secondary traders looking to gouge prices on eBay.
