Please read the "Collector's Corner" section of the PoJo today. I just posted a message that describes this. The short answer: The Gym Decks are NOT part of the Gym Expansion, so don't combine the cards. Keep the cards that came with the deck in the deck, and only use cards found in booster packs to complete the Expansion sets. Brian Brokaw
