I don't expect anyone to have any great hauls right off the bat, so we can save hauls for next week. What I think would be a good idea for this week in particular is

  • a discussion of where and where not to hit.

  • whats your method of not getting caught

  • If you have been caught, whats your spicy story?

Any good advice I will put into next weeks thread.

      Take a pack to the bathroom and unwrap them in the stall and flush the wrapper down the drain. Magic cards and boxes have magnetic strips in them that can make them go off at the door (the packages do not, it's the cards themselves)

        Source? That's news to me. Also with how people "repack" decks and other promotional stuff that have highly desired cards at Wal-mart that they "return" after, I wouldn't hit Wal-mart for Magic cards even for the boosters, as they reseal those.

          They look like that and can be found in card packs with the cardboard holster around them. Not in the plastic pack itself. They're also found in any of the other big kits but honestly the doors only go off like 25% of the time anyways. Another think you can do to avoid it is just swipe the packs over the demagnetizer at any empty register.

            OH THOSE. I don't think I've seen those outside of deck-builders kits and buy-a-set promos. Most retail stores generally DON'T have those on the booster-packs (15 cards). Probably because the booster is like $5-7 a pack.
