Since SR has such a high rare count, how many stores sell SR singles? In
Houston, I've seen no store that does. I see LOTS of Magic, some Star
Trek and Star Wars, but no other card games warrant single sales. I'm
forced to rely on the net right now. Does anyone know of anybody who does
single sales via net? Store or such. Right now I'm waiting for a
shipment for my 1st box of SR and a box of Underworld. From all the talk
I've seen in this newsgroup, I'm very hopeful about getting a complete set
of Underworld from the one box, but I'm now sure about the 1st run. I
have my favs (Lord Torgo, since he seems to be the most expensive card in
the set), Tempest and Ice Queen (I'm kind of partial to elves), but
otherwise I'll take what I can get.

Just for the record, what is the average # of boxes one has to purchase to
complete a whole set of 1st run.

Thanks for bearing witness to my de-lurking,
