And that's the problem with buying lots. While the cards may be in near mint condition, the print dots are a major eye sore. The only real way to avoid them is to buy the cards individually. If you buy 200 mint cards, I'm betting you might get 20 cards without any print flaws. So, you end up buying them again, anyway.

It's ok, I'm in no rush to complete this set. It will be done right. When it is done, should I ever want to, or need to sell it, it would command a premium for its superior visual quality.
