If I can throw in my two nuyen - would there ever be a time you would
actually consider selling those binders of cards? Me neither...

I must live in an area that ~no one~ plays collectable card games. The
same can be said for most of the comic and/or hobby stores - they might
collect Magic, but Shadowrun? If they do, it is one box at a time,
individual packs. If I wanted the option to buy a box as it seems to be
the norm, well, what is it? There are 36 packs in the latest booster, no?
Multiply that by $3.00 a pack plus tax...

I went the route of buying individual cards through dealers on the net. On
one hand, it is not too bad having a complete set without having that many
extras - perhaps 200-300 at most. On the other hand, paying on average
$3.00 for a rare card and ~only~ getting one card which could have snagged
me 14 more via booster...
One would think that with FASA located 'locally' per se that more stores
overall would promote them, but don't. Or would allow the option to (pre)
order a box. Ah well, I guess it is back to the grind again with these
things.
