In gambling I have a rule when I play poker, if something is working for you, dont change the way your playing to chase down hands. I do the same in roulette, never chase a number because it hasnt come up yet. Same with a section. If 2nd & 12 isnt hitting, dont chase it, if its not coming up, leave & try another day. Stick with what makes you money. I shoulda followed that rule. The card shop I been getin my great boxes from didnt get any in today and said he doesnt know when he will cause his distributor is out. So I called other card shops and chased down a box. Get to the shop and the box was $110 ($10 more then I usually pay) so I bought that & 3 padded envelopes that were $1.50. He rings it up, total: $120.46. Im like wtf, whys it $120? He's like $9 sales tax. I shoulda walked right there since ive NEVER paid a sales tax on a box of cards at a LCS. Anyway, heres the crap I get for chasing:
-2 Dummy cards in 2 packs -- Never had that b4, off to an incredible start.
-Lords of the NHL non jersey crap card: Martin St. Louis
-Calder Collection non auto crap card: Brett Connolly
-Rookie: Mikko Koskinen (mmm hmmm)
-Ruby: TJ Oshie
-Heirs to the Throne: Devan Dubnyk (theres a winner! lol)
-Calder Collection Auto: Adam Larsson
-Rookie Auto: David Savard (worth bout a whole $1.50 haha)
-Heirs to the Throne: Ryan Nugent Hopkins
While getting a Hopkins was cool, it doesnt really outweigh the rest of the garbage that was in the box. But like I said in my last post, im due for a dud.
Moral of the story, if the routine you normally do thats working (ie: the shop down the street for $100) for you isnt their, dont chase a down a more expensive box at another store. Save the $$$ and wait for the other store to get them back in stock.
Ill post scans later, gotta goto work.
