I am writing to express my outrage towards small card shops that take 
advantage of ourselves, the consumer. A card shop at my local mall has a 
virtual monopoly within the mall, the only store that continues to sell 
original boosters and preconstructed decks. The price has risen from what 
should be $3 or so a pak to $6......that's right 6 bucks!!!!!!! and the 
prebuilt decks go for 20 bucks. Personally I'd rather go to a K-Mart, 
Wal-Mart or Target and get the same boosters for 3 bucks. Unfortunately this 
store is the only store in the area where you can buy single cards but those 
prices aren't nearly as bad $25 for a blastoise, i can live with that, but 6 
bucks for 11 random cards is absolutely outragous! Thank You for listening to 
my opinion
