Well, last week I decided to get myself a few things from the Bay for my birthday. I wanted to get some "quality" cards that I know I won't have the coin to buy boxes of. I'll be getting these over the next two weeks, but here's what I bought and a picture of the one I got today. As they come in, I'll be scanning them and uploading them into Beckett. All prices include shipping (even combined).

Also, as I stated before, my sister sent me a $25 Wal-Mart Gift Card, so I bought myself another mixed box, not expecting much, just wanting to break, fill sets, and maybe get a few things to sell/trade. Well, I was pleasantly surprised. These aren't PC (so the Birthday Cards moniker doesn't apply) but I was happy that I got something worth selling/trading.
