We learned a few things "ripping" this one:
  • We like mini cards
  • Small sets are the way to go, as we have a chance at complete sets more easily
  • Lots of mini cards were packed in plastic "wax" packs, which are less fun
  • When we bag up plastic wax pack wrappers to drop in plastic bag recycling at the local grocery store,my wife looks at us funny

We actually ended up about 5 cards short of a complete set, so not the best collation. Not sure what we'll do with these...maybe if I see more boxes cheap I'll grab more to try to get more complete sets.
That's a fun set. I haven't bought one in years, but I save the different woodgrain patterns. If I remember it right every card has at least a couple.
