TOPIC: New to TD, Question about Packs of tokens

That was park of the reason they changed the borders and added the foil 'dot'. Their printers are supposed to be able to read the cards now and assign them more randomly.

Interesting, I hope that works. I remember the change they made to the packs way back in the day. They used to be plastic, and the portions next to the crimping were more clear, and people were able to see through the packaging to see what the Rares were. That's why, if I were to buy old sealed product (like Unlimited), I'd want to buy a sealed box or a starter pack.

Joyous was the day I found a box of Revised which had no uncommon cards in the parks, but 3 more rare ones. Ah, so many dual lands...
