What I find interesting in this is the clear distinction in collecting habits, packs vs. sets, sets vs. teams, teams vs. players, new vs. vintage etc.Hackenbushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15507810776309048794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-10870546017659078112012-01-07T09:46:33.534-05:002012-01-07T09:46:33.534-05:00No, that's not the solution for me.

I ended up with three full base sets (with a bit of trading) from the boxes I opened, but I also ended up with something like 9 or 10 of a few cards while only getting 2 of others. I'm sure there's some math lurking in there that would say if the pack contents are truly random that would be expected, but what fun is that? No matter, it's annoying when it happens...Nachos Grandehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02911007368272468591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2700049103080920994.post-71817536541014497642012-01-07T08:04:47.690-05:002012-01-07T08:04:47.690-05:00This is exactly why I try to buy completed sets on...This is exactly why I try to buy completed sets on eBay. <br /><br />I know I don't get the joy of busting packs, sorting cards, and pulling big hits.
