Unless you're a supercollector, I would have just stuck with one.<br /><br />As for addiction, I guess cards is my only one. I still buy them even though it's probably smart to cut back. Specifically, I think I'm more addicted to getting packs of cards opposed to going through cards in a bin. I find it more thrilling (and thus addicting) to open a pack to see what I got instead of going through a box and pulling out what I want. Here you jumped at the chance of 40 cards for $60...I'd hesitate, thinking I can get a blaster box of the next 3 Topps releases.Jafroniushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946965301520580238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199201726099157936.post-5042733621854883802018-10-05T12:18:24.147-07:002018-10-05T12:18:24.147-07:00Yeah..i definitely have an addiction especially to...Yeah..i definitely have an addiction especially to busting wax...i know logistically singles are the way to go but nothing beats pulling a nice card yourself!
