Even on the secondary market, 150 cards (times two or three) is too much. Anything over 100 cards should be a product by itself. And with the lack of creativity of all the products they have, they could easily switch with some of this insert stuff and make it more interesting.GCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713246271197550543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5762290031812281192.post-35531751704494526992019-02-19T11:52:51.450-06:002019-02-19T11:52:51.450-06:00Responding to comments two days later?
