Off amazon but not eBay. Amazon is safer I think

I'd be real leery buying those old packs people.  Back in the day when I was buying revised packs at my lgs, one of the workers who I became friends with told me there where only 3 packs left, I only had enough money for one pack.  He tells me that he'll pick a "good" pack for me.  He showed me how you could see through the white plastic wrapper just enough to tell if there was a dual land in that pack.  Sure enough, he found one.  He didn't know what dual land it was, but you could see that it was a dual land.  It ended up being a {plateau}.
