I, too, agree that this would be the best way to do it. Because, while the
market is still "virginal," I've already picked up 4 boxes of boosters and
am only 18 cards short of a full set. I would rather just buy the cards I'm
missing. Unfortunately, I don't have much experience buying or trading over
the net with private parties and still feel kind of uncomfortable doing so.

Interesting side note... the card list on FASA's home page lists
Extraction, Gang War, Harlequin's Game, Haunted Highrise, Milk Run, Mob
War!, Protect and Defend, Robo-plant Revolt, and Operation Cottonmouth as
Common cards. You would think after 4 boxes of boosters we'd be able to get
at least one of each of these cards. Didn't happen. So, is this a misprint
of the rarity?
