This year is the first in a very long time where I've been picking up packs at the store, and I've even traded with some of my long-time trading buddies. At the same time, my daughter is using the ToppsTown cards and building the virtual set there. I'm only two cards away from a Series 1 base set and while I'm not exactly thrilled to be paying $2 a pack or $10 for a 55-card "cereal box" it's neat to build a set again. I was probably 19 the last time I built a set from busting packs rather than just buying the factory set.
