Thank you so much, Luke! You know, it felt really good to just let loose a little bit. I'm almost at the point where I can start doing some serious work on my collection, and I can't wait.

I love the cards you picked up, too. People told me that after I'd been collecting the Monster for a while, I'd start to appreciate the different backs. They were right. They add a whole other dimension to the set for me. When I got my first Polar Bear backed card, I was pretty excited, even though it certainly wasn't a hard to get back. Then I got one of the factory 649 overprints followed closely by my first Southern Leaguer, which had an Old Mill back. Now I find when I look for cards, the backs play a very big part of my decision making. I look forward to my first Sovereign, Cycle, American Beauty and EPDG-backed cards.
