Looks like a nice set Scott.

Myself? One modern set per year is about it. I will probably buy some pack, tho, for the fun of it.

Can't resist the packs.

card of Tyson>? Does it come with a genuine piece of holyfield's ear?

helionaut

Definitely. I've been debating for a couple months now whether to go for a case or just a box or two plus singles hunting. The cards look so sweet that I think I'm going to go for the master set with autos and everything. There are a couple other products coming out that are holding my attention, but when I look at the checklist and sales sheet I think I know what I want.

Welcome Back Stone!! It appears that it is due to release about the same time as the National. I agree helio, the cards do look sweet.

I think the minis will be cool cards, not sure if I like the standard size idea though.

I'm sure a few will find my way into my collection.

Does anyone know a good source for presells?

Thanks,

The best sources [in terms of guaranteed delivery, etc.], tend to be some of the more expensive sources.

Like Dave and Adam's, for example.
