Well, I came in about two weeks ago, and the Magic cards really turned me off
from that. I mean, true, you probably can't collect them all, though that
would possibly be a good thing, because more trading would ensue. Also, the
huge variety of the Magic cards kind of made me shiver. Just collecting SR
cards, I've at first ran across a good many I couldn't use at all, being only
for Yakuza, Mafia, Lone Star, etc. and not having any of those cards. You're
more likely to run into problems like that in huge sets of cards.
