I grab a few here and a few there. Though this backfires a lot and I end up with dupes out of just those packs.<br /><br />I try to mark incoming stuff on my site so I don't get three of them. But I'll slack a little on sets like 2012 Topps while they're still live so any dupes are just more trade bait. My best trading friend refuses to mark stuff pending even though he knows it's coming from me and we've sent back and forth for years.GCAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14713246271197550543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180054214906698045.post-76917085945275327662012-02-24T11:15:54.749-05:002012-02-24T11:15:54.749-05:00Great question.

I'd have him pick out packs for me, because he was super lucky. Sadly, he doesn't collect anymore. Maybe that's why I don't buy individual packs very often anymore.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180054214906698045.post-5121902176466543822012-02-24T09:21:08.915-05:002012-02-24T09:21:08.915-05:00I have a couple of the same superstitions mentione...I have a couple of the same superstitions mentioned here. Like Michael I don't open packs at the shop, although I haven't been to the shop or purchased a pack of anything in months anyway.<br /><br />Like you I don't consider a card part of my collection until it's in hand. But even worse, I scan it and catalog it in Zistle before I knock it off the want list.shoeboxlegendshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11642879419337014960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180054214906698045.post-87134913919248572552012-02-24T00:13:01.769-05:002012-02-24T00:13:01.769-05:00I only open packs at my house...NOT at the hobby s...I only open packs at my house...NOT at the hobby shotMichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07034834553791036082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-180054214906698045.post-29097834906816418532012-02-23T12:01:52.056-05:002012-02-23T12:01:52.056-05:00I don't think I have any collecting superstiti...I don't think I have any collecting superstitions.
