  1. Does this mean there won’t be a Gold Standard released this year? Or Limited? Both are too expensive for me to buy boxes of, but I like the continuity of having the sets released every year…Gold Standard even survived the lockout! The one per pack autograph probably means this is another $200 for 5 card pack, which means I’ll be skipping this one as well…not because I want to, but because the medicine that keeps me alive must come first.
