Gint-a-Cuffs VII Packs 13-16

Gint-a-Cuffs is like the weather.  It can run hot, it can run cold, it can run you ragged.  As each card peeks out from behind the next, its visage taunts you with each recognition that it will not yield you points.  Those smiles are mischievous, ironic, and altogether unwelcome set against the anticipatory joy of ripping open packs.  But sometimes, sometimes, there are moments when you think to yourself that it is all worth it as the points pile up and the personal collection is burgeoning with plenty.  Do not judge me lest Gint-a-cuffs judges us all.
