| A nice surprise tonight... We traveled up to Massachusetts to visit my parents, and decided to travel to a Newbury Comics in Burlington. Apparently the store was having a 30th anniversary sale, including 30% off all trading cards. To my surprise, there were six packs of Supernatural Season 1 hanging on the rack. I grabbed them and was fortunate enough to pull the Julie Benz auto, one of the ones I still needed from the set. ____________________ ~Ariana

| Popped into town this afternoon and stopped by my local comic shop World's Apart. My first bargain of the trip was an SG-1 Vala figure for £1.99 still sealed, but that's not the best bit. The shop has the cards near the door and when I went over to check out what they had in I found they were selling Lost Season Three card packs for only 25p a pack. There was no way I was passing up a bargain like that . So I bought £9 worth (to save anyone having to do the math thats 36 packs ). And here's what I got: TI-1 and TI-2 FB5 and FB8 LG2 Not bad for the money paid...but there's more I also pulled a PW10-Sawyer's shirt and a Michael Bowen as Danny Pickett auto. I'm tempted to go back and get the rest of the packs they had left. ____________________ "No time like the present to change the future"

| If I leave for Liverpool now I should get there by the early hours of the morning and beat AJJ to them. It'll cost me about £30 to get there though!!!
Well done on your pulls. |

| The scale trick doesn't work here for sketches. Having said that was the box opened in front of you or already open? I've known some to crack a case, but stop in each box after the sketch is pulled only to sell the remaing packs in their store. Pretty slimy sh*t IMO, but to each his own. |

| I had another pretty good card day today. Bought four packs of Supernatural Connections and four packs of The Seeker: Dark is Rising. Pulled a PW6 from Supernatural (one of the very few cards I still needed), and an Amelia Warner auto from The Seeker. The auto will be used for trade, but the whole thing was worth it just for the Sam PW card. ____________________ ~Ariana

No I didn't see the box get opened. These were loose packs purchased on eBay. I don't have any stores around me so eBay is my only source. Your thought on stopping after a sketch is found seems very likely to me! I know I will no longer buy individual packs off of eBay again. I really believe most offering single packs are playing you. Live and learn right! |
