so two ultra rares in my case.
plus i got two rares i would have ended up spending $20 on.
so...it was just worth it financially.
although it wouldn't have been if i had got an ultra rare i already had.
the time was worth it for the experience.

had to edit because i went to put deep throat in my folder and he was already there
so it would have been more cost effective to just buy the last few cards i wanted.
o well. cheap learning experience.

so now i have about 800 spare cards that i didn't even consider.

i guess i get to spend tommorow seeing if i can make an almost complete second set.

if anyone wants it i would happily exchange for an almost complete set of something similar.
i'm also interested in any card sets that are art:tank girl, spawn, ren and stimpy or anything cool i don't know about.

or these are the cards i'm still chasing

If this box was typical, rares average 2 per pack and ultras 2:36 packs. It's odd that the old price guides had less than a 10:1 ratio in "value". The ratio based only on rarity should be even higher than 36:1 because rares were in starter boxes too.

I suspect that there were two or more distribution ranges within the rares for v1; other CCG series even identify "Rare-1" "Rare-2" etc. or "Very Rare". But because of the bad collation across the series, we didn't have enough data. With the 101361 expansion, we concluded that even the uncommons had a huge range of scarcities. I don't know where we shared the "research" so many years ago.
.

it's all very wierd to me. is it usual to find consecutively numbered cards like this? it felt a bit annoying seeing the same 7 commons then the same 5 uncommons. come up over and over followed coz it means making a second set will be harder and i'm going to have a fair few cards i now have 8 of.
it was only the rares that seemed to be chosen at random.

Just found another binder with full sets of x-men ccg and Star Wars Young Jedi ccg.

I'm a ccg collector and had forgotten.

The reason why more non-sport card collectors aren't CCG enthusiasts is because we want to play with our cards ourselves and couldn't find three other people to play with us anyway.

x men ccg? i think i know what i'll collect next.
