Gonna be a long post
So I got most of my Christmas shopping done early this year and decided to splurge on me a little too. Was in the mood for a little more retro stuff, even if it doesn't have big hits. My criteria was the box had to be under $30 and have some of my PC guys cards I don't have. Found 21 boxes, average cost $24.41.
Here are the boxes and the "interesting" hits, stuff that books for $5+ or is one of my PC guys.
