Every time we go to our local Safeway we check the machine on the way in and on the way out. It's ALWAYS sold out. Today was our lucky day! We snagged 2 booster bundles, and 6 booster packs of various sets! Me, my wife, and both kids divided all the packs up last night and had a fun pack ripping and card trading party! :)
Went to a small local card show this afternoon trying to hunt down some vintage base set cards, and fill in some gaps in my Pitch Black master set.
I saw this at the very first table when I walked in, along with an 8 next to it. Talked to the guy for a bit, asked him about both cards, and then moved on to the rest of the tables in the show. On the way out, I walked by his table again, and decided to pull the trigger on it. Definitely not what I expected to come home with today. Super happy to own such an iconic card in such great shape!
Edit because the card is being questioned:

I like everyone here was recently banned from all my instagram accounts and Facebook. A few weeks ago I had created an account for showcasing our daughter's sports clips. The account specifically said "Parent Managed Account" in the bio. This is a pretty common use case on instagram as we follow many accounts like this.
A week ago all my accounts were suspended with the option to appeal and upload my ID. I did so, and within an hour was notified that my appeal was denied and my accounts were all permanently suspended.
I dug through Facebook/IG's own policy documents and found this link regarding this EXACT situation - https://www.facebook.com/help/517920941588885/
From the link:
>Accounts that represent someone under the minimum age must clearly state in the account's bio that the account is managed by a parent or manager, and provide identification to prove the account is run by an adult if requested. If your child is younger than the minimum age in your region and has an account that isn't managed by you or a manager, the account will be deleted.
I had another account that I had used for posting car/racetrack related content that was unaffected (not sure why, it was associated to the same email address), so I upgraded to Meta Verified and opened support ticket after support ticket. They have all said they can't review it further because the appeal was denied. This is insane. I gave them the link and pointed out their OWN policy in their OWN help documentation, and asked them to specifically explain why my account did not satisfy their policy after I disclosed it was parent managed, and provided a government issued ID upon request.
They could not give me an answer other than "This has been thoroughly reviewed and we cannot review this further and the decision remains"
WTF...
This is my first attempt at astrophotography! This represents ~8hrs of integration time over 3 nights. 1 night in my bortle 8 area, 2 nights in a bortle 3-4 while camping. Used Siril + Gimp for stacking. Processed using Siril + Gimp. Tried stacking each individual night's captures plus calibration frames. Then taking the pp_light_* results from each of those nights and stacking all those together for the final image.
