    BIGKID - I've been hearing about this promotion for over 6 months, so it is legit. Its been in all the trade papers in full page ads.
    All the card manufacturers worked together to issue cards for this promotion. A card store would contact the distributor to get a batch of these packs to hand out to their customers on April 3, then the customers would trade their cards for other cards that others rec'd.
    A little corny sure, but its good to see some positive steps in this industry, I wish they would have had these type of promos when I had my store. As long as it gets people inside the store, then its worthwhile. ..jay
