A side-effect from my stint to sea:

I did. Put too much money into it and took up so much of my limited storage space on the ship that I grew out of it and gave away most of my cards.

If there was a large enough group purchasing cards, I'd go out and buy a booster box and sell at retail price.

That, or you and your chums could just chip in for a booster box. It makes each pack less than 3 bucks each.
