I better keep away because obviously when I touch the monsters, spreadsheet goes nuts :-p
Umm, so this is card 5...does this mean we aren't doing the gold/silver covers since we have a different card 5 now?
That's my fault ST! I came back from lacrosse day and saw that Card 5 was done so I submitted it. You had a book on it and knew you said earlier that you were half way done with it so I just assumed it was the one you were working on and didn't really look at it too closely. Now we have this bat...
