Thanks! I bought a total of 3 packs...opening them in the car, not one by one in the shop. So nobody saw the seated happy dance.

Congrats... Not may shops left around Tinley or Orland. Was it AF by chance? ____________________ "We have in fact, two kinds of morality, side by side: one that we preach, but do not practice, and another that we practice, but seldom preach." |

They only have a box or so most of the time and I figured if anyone cherry picked boxes it would be them. Although it probably depends on which AF. ____________________ "We have in fact, two kinds of morality, side by side: one that we preach, but do not practice, and another that we practice, but seldom preach." |

I have had fairly good luck in their stores...I pulled a Pence Aragorn from LOTR M1 and some other nicies over the last couple of years.

I stopped in a Five Below store on my lunch break not even knowing they carried cards. At the checkout I found 6 loose LOTR: Evolution packs so I bought them. In the second to last pack I found the Galadriel's Grey Haven's Cloak (1:184) memorabilia card. Needless to say I was suprised...

I think I might have taken this whole "buying loose packs" to the extreme. This past weekend a local comic book store was having a huge blowout sale of items from their storage room because they are losing the space.
I bought a large box that had 400+ loose packs for $8. The packs ranged from fantasty art, star trek, star wars, comic, anime, movie, etc. Here are some notable pulls from the packs: Boris 4 - Medaliion Card (#1573) Battle of the Planets - Autos Angel Medina #A-1 (#605/1000) Dan Brereton #A-4 (#67/1000) Jason Hofius #A-6 (#822/1000) J. Scott Campbell #A-8 (#16/1000) Brian Rood #A-11 (#213/1000) Dan Parsons #A-13 (#472/1000) Sketch Cards - Wilson Tortusa (Tiny) #557/2000 Wilson Tortusa (Princess) #1677/2000 Top Cow Universe - Autos - #5 Randy Green #95/699 #8 J.D. Smith #291/699 Sketch Card - Matt Busch (Aphrodite IX) #143/300 I was also able to buy eight unopened boxes for $3 each. Most notable an unopened 1994 Fleer Amazing Spider-Man. Pretty good buy for around $30. |

I hit my local shop on the way to see the Hulk movie tonight. I ended up getting 10 packs of BSG and 10 packs of LOTR Masterpieces 2 as well as some random sportscard packs.
Here's the noteworthy results:        ____________________ "Man muss entweder der Hammer oder der Amboss sein" (you must be the hammer or the anvil) -Goethe Ad pulchritudinem tria requiruntur: integritas, consonantia, claritas. (Three things are required for beauty: wholeness, harmony, radiance.) |

That's really nice load of pulls - well done Incarnadine. I'm not a fan of odd packs but wish everyone well who buy cards like this.

H5 - The French Resistance. F7 - Devore. PA6 - Nicholas Worth as 'Lonzac' Autograph. |

I was downtown again so I decided to try my luck with the other row in the LOTR Masterpieces 2 box. 9 packs in I pulled another pretty good sketch by Steven Miller. I'm shocked that neither sketch in that box was a Waterhouse.

Hit a shop up and found a box of 04 clone wars in a dusty corner and ripped a few packs-
 Also got one of the motion cards that I really liked and Im tempted to do the set. ____________________  |

Picking up some supplies today I saw my local shop had a box of Hammer Horror cards so I grabbed 8 packs to see if I could pull the sketch. No sketch but I did get this auto:
