So after three boxes I still come up THREE CARDS SHORT!.

4 Todd Burns

That's really no a collation problem. It's just dumb luck. I certainly don't see buying another box just for those three, and no one I know of stocks commons from junk era sets.

By chance anyone have these classic gems lying around to spare?


In 1992, I discovered that you could get the complete set when purchasing an Ultra box....then, I got another box...same thing.

It was a little too automatic for me...I would almost want to be in your place...needing just a few, very frustrating cards. The chase was over before it started.

But maybe that's just me.
