I'm not sure what's sadder. Your obsession, or the fact that I'm jealous. XD

I still have a ton of the cards leftover. I brought them over to a friend's house once and explained how the game worked, and we played for a bit. Some of the stuff you listed sounds cool, though. I missed out on all those promotions since I lived in Australia (the craze still occurred there, but we didn't have many promotions) at the time.
