Design is solid and nice to see a different product
Cons:
Player pool for the Clear Cut Autographs are too spread out
One numbered parallel every two boxes

Not sure why it is not showing up as it is supposed to be there under WHAT WE PULLED. In fact, when I go in to edit the post, the link is there.

Thanks Rich. It's going ok. I hope you're not too snowed in up north !
Yeah, I saw the space and figured it was supposed to be there. I didn't know if it was my browser or not.
