Frank,
        I was openning some Exodus boosters tonight when I noticed that
the uncommons and rares at the center of the packs stood out plainly
if the pack is veiwed from the edge.  All the corners on the uncommons
and rares were shaved off more than the commons.  It was the same for
every pack I checked in 3 different boxes.

I told a friend who then challenged me to pick out the shaved cards in
four boosters he purchased at a retail store.  He had sorted the cards
alphabetically, so most of the uncommons and rares were not together.
I surprised him by selecting the shaved cards without much trouble.

I am curious to know if anyone else has noticed.  I can't believe that
this was done on purpose.  Did we get a batch of
defective cards locally?  If so, I may be asking for my money back or at
least for replacement cards in which the uncommons and rares that are not
physically different from the commons.

Thank you very much for running such a terrific website!
