So as you can see, the run was an accident. But after those first two, I had to do it.
Good luck with Mcgraw.
That's basically the same for me with McGraw after picking up the Cycle and Black Lenox initially. Soon after I found myself picking up the Red Cross and a few others. Up to 9 different backs now!!
