Update

I will be trying to get a scanner going so I can scan some of the good looking cards for you.

I will not be buying that many boxes to unbox for you guys cause time are tough and I have to spend my money on more important things. So I'll be opening packs instead of boxes.

Thank you,

Dustin Paulsen
