Last Devember I was in Vegas and cruising the casinos for the latest new cards and for supplies to stash away for trading someday. I swung over to the Hotel San Remo, stopped at the card booth for a couple of new cards in my name, and scanned the tops of the machine going in and going out. I scooped a few cards that way. (The San Remo isn't that big, so it didn't take long.) After I was out I pulled the handful of cards out for a closer look (you don't want to stand in the casino flipping through a handful of slot cards. Little too much tempting of fate!) I was pleased to see a card I knew I hadn't seen before. It was only after I got back to my hotel and checked the Guide that I found I had a ten year old first release "Founding Member" card that is rated as Very Rare!. (Steve and Pat - you said there were only ten known - make that eleven!) Never walk by a machine without looking -- you never know what might drop in your grasp.
