Hey. Yesterday I went to the PreRelease, and I brought my T1 deck with me because I wanted to play between rounds.
Ok, so here's what happened. Around 3:30pm yesterday I was trading with a friend of mine. I had the box with the expensive stuff in my backpack which was under the table next to my feet where I was standing. At some point, someone asked me if I had anything else, so I reached into my bag, took out the other box, took out the cards (not the expensive ones, no one knew I had those there except my friends whom I trust). and left the box there.
I finished trading, put my second box away, but I had forgotten that I had taken out the expensive box and I left it there. I walked away. About 5 minutes later, my friend noticed the box (but didn't know it was mine) and asked one of the guys standing there if the box was his. The guy said yes and put it in his bag.
Now, it is possible he thought the box was his, because his stuff was on the table. Or he stole the box, not knowing what was inside and got really lucky.
Anyways, here's a list of what I had in the box:
The following is in a black plastics box (from 1996), and all in black plastics.
