Swing and a miss

I got my box of Canadian cards in Saturday. I was eager to find out what goodies it held.

Turns out- nothing. By which I mean, NOTHING of value. All bulk. Well, at least I didn't pay that much for that lesson. Some times these gambles don't work out. However, I've had more wins than losses and my first home-run was a 2 run shot over the center wall. I am still gushing over that one.
At the least, my daughter got some sleeves for her Pokémon cards. :)


The recent swing and miss made me think of the previous auction.

What I realized is someone opened a case of Eternal Masters. I had something like 75 foils (as seen on the right), including 1 rare- which is usually 1 per box. (24 packs per box) They took out the big hits, and left everything else in boxes. I when through one last time, and even found 2 Ashnod's Alter. There were plenty of commons and uncommons from that set of cards alone to make it worth wild. So thanks to who ever didn't keep this stuff!

Maybe I will hit this good again- likely not.

Interesting, two takes on recent fake cards.
