Oh, yeah the Earthquake was a little surprise in the day. I kinda didn't even realize what it was although I just walked out the lift literally 5 seconds before it happened so my experience might have been a whole lot different had it happened moments before.
(Fun Fact: I did get trapped in a lift one time with a group of pissed work colleagues and the anxiety it creates is intense. Besides the fact we all needed to break the seal. haha)

Now if you can get in on the CL Pre-Sale I'd say that's the best opportunity to make a bit of quick cash especially if they're offering limited promo cards again. Otherwise I feel CL will drag on and prices will head south for sometime to come. So don't rush in to buy the average cards.
