You have to look at it like a $5 scratcher...you've already lost the money so any recoup is a gain.

Even with Freak's high end value of your cards...they all add to $250ish minus ebay and paypal fees bringing up a net gain of $200ish if lucky and they all sell high. In otherwords you didn't lose $400 toward your honeymoon/bachelor party...you gained $200, lol

I am actually going to MDUB's wedding this weekend.. I am half expecting that the wedding favors will be packs of Leaf MMA or Rd4 or something. 

PS- it is awesome that you are able to make a whole base set from one box.  I have opened 6 or 7 rd4 boxes and I am still about 12 cards shy of my first base set!!

Also, that Penn Silver must have made you happy as I know you are a fan of BJ.

and some sweet cards to collect if you're buildinmg your rd 1 collection.

He didnt buy it. Its a box of rd 1, that his fiancee got for him. Thats worth it alone, all thrills aside. Good future wife, good time cracking a nice box of cards.

Damn that's why I can't bring myself to fork out that much cash for a box. It is almost worth it just for the thrill of the break.
