Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2015 Recap – New Set: Card Trader Illustrated, Gold Classic Art Lando, Bounty Chewbacca, Final Journey of Qui-Gon Ginn, Stormtrooper Die Cut, Work Together to Increase Locks
September, 30 2015
A somewhat complicated, new set called Card Trader Illustrated arrived today. This is another set with its sights set squarely on the big spenders... or as the Reddit community might have you believe also a way to ensnare cheaters with emulators and unfair trading partners. Either way, at 500k and 900k per box (I've read there were supposed to be 10 Golds in the 500k pack but I [...]
R2-D2 Gets Missiles

Sunday, Sept. 27, 2015 Recap – Die Cut Cards, Gold Gammorrean Guard, Topps Choice Ben Quadinaros, Journey of Qui-Gon Part 9, Collegiate Vader, Yavin IV Rebel Base
September, 27 2015
As expected, Die Cut cards made their appearance today and I have mixed feelings about it.
