Is that a good thing?
Sort of sounds like they will be filming a funeral of sorts.

Scifi CardsOK, I have a challenge and an offer for those that will be at the Expo...
I challenge people to dig through their extra base sets and donate kid-friendly sets for the Treasure Chest. We all note that kids are not collecting as they used to. This puts cards into the hands of kids who will appreciate them. I've started my box of sets, and have about 25 so far.
Now, if you need an incentive... If you bring me a kid-friendly set I'll give you $5 off a set from my table. So, turn your sets into new sets!
I want Paul to have to make an extra trip because of all the sets donated!

Ed

I've got a whole bunch of Indiana Jones and Clone Wars extras sitting around, if I have the time to put them into sets I'll mail them to you before the show. I'd guess I've got 5-7 of each.

I'd be more than happy to be a go-between for anyone who has sets they would like to donate to Treasure Chest.
Great idea Ted!
