Then I started on the tougher "rarities" I didn't already have. After that, I realized i might as well go for the set, so I went full bore. The one thing I did to make it a bit tougher, was to collect the Southern Leaguers with only Old Mill backs.
I still would like to get a Magie, and if I'm really lucky, a Plank, but I'm happy at 520 cards.

Bingo. And that's what this post is about : ways to not let The Monster defeat you.
And I'm considering the SLers with only Old Mill backs as well. We'll see when it's time to cross that bridge.
