Then in the middle of the second, fourth, and sixth, my hubby and I each open a pack, making sure to look at those stats and not just the purrtyy pictures. Then we swap our cards to see what the other got.<br /><br />At home, we are not nearly as patient as Joe S. While we each open packs and share like we do at the games, when we have a box, it often looks more like a six-year-old at Christmas. Often we only glance at the other person's cards until the box is finished, then it's time to sort up (always my job) so we can decide what we want to keep and binder up. The rest go into bix ol' card boxes, which are filling one closet and threatening to invade another. Part of that is due to my Ginter addiction, so I can't blame everything on him.MrsToothhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17702228964642231240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2199682580817638883.post-52359192190387287702009-07-24T15:07:57.438-07:002009-07-24T15:07:57.438-07:00I always set up my box like they've got them d...I always set up my box like they've got them displayed in a card shop. You know - folding the top back, all that. I then proceed to open just a few packs a day, like I have a card shop in my guest room! It's not the best card shop in the world since it rarely has any more than one box and random bargain packs in stock at any given time, but you can't beat the price tag of $0 (assuming you can overlook the fact that you paid for all of the store's inventory in the first place).<br /><br />My one or two packs a day quickly turns in to three or four packs by the end, because at that point I can justify a trip to the card store for MORE wax, and instead of letting my cards see their replacement and risk hurting any feelings, I finish 'em off and let them believe they're the most important part of my collection. <br /><br />And then I start the whole thing over again.Joe S.http://www.pricelesspursuit.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
