| I don't remember if I ever posted in this thread or not. Anyway, a couple of years ago a grocery store put a bunch of their cards on sale. I bought remaining cards from a Heroes series, a LotR series, and 2 or 3 Star Trek series. Nothing from Heroes, but pulled many chase cards and 3 sketch cards. BTW, they were $1 a pack. 2 or 3 stops at the store I spent $40-50.

Not to bad for the money spent.
Love Worlds Apart. Must get back to Liverpool one day. |

| I bought two packs of loose Walking Dead cards at my LCS (gotta support them) and pulled a Steven Yeun A6 auto. I found this funny because in my two boxes I bought from my friendly dealer, I pulled both Steve Yeun auto cards. I'm all Yuen, all the time.

That is until recently. I have been buying New Moon Series 2 packs when I find them at Target. I figure at least I can get some of the update cards. My last 3 trips there have been 3 packs each time - 2 different stores. I pulled a Carlisle auto (shortened version that is about 1/2 the size of the other auto), an Alice auto, and then the other, longer Carlisle auto.
I have been pretty happy. 99 cent packs, so for less than $10 I got 3 auto cards.
Thanks,
Nathan
That's pretty lucky Major congrats. |

| Got 4 packs of the new Bond series at work today in the hopes of pulling a Halle Berry card- no luck on her but I did get: Gotz Otto as Stamper (L) and Michelle Yeoh as Wai Lin (L) Very happy with the Yeoh autograph, may have to get a few more packs to see if I can hit that 3rd autograph. Val

I must admit when I did see packe for sale they came with a lot of dust! Guess I can't blame stores if there not selling. I was always afraid of cherry picking esp when stores allow you to select the packs. |

| Congrats, Chris, great pull! But...those weren't packs from an open box, since each pair of packs had their own packaging. All retail packs should be sold this way (or in mini-boxes). It's the only way to foil the retail pack searchers. Beating the odds of 1:2000 is pretty impressive, but when the vast majority of the packs have all been searched, those odds increase dramatically.
