rules. He wanted me to pass them on so they can glean some feedback.
Sounds like he's really happy with the list, and I'm glad we're
recognized as a concentrated source of info.
I'm also excited that I've made it into the ranks of those represented
by an SRTCG card. All right, I'm a runner! You can bet when Underworld
hits the shelves I'll be trading for all those Loki cards I can. (I
need to ask if it's a common, uncommon or rare...)
<happy dance>
