I'm still wondering about these "packaging awards".... I'm picturing the lamest awards show ever, hosted by Drew Carey. also just curious why would black packaging cost more than individual card art? It seems to me that you would have to pay a lot more to commission a known artist, and print individual unique packages with multicolor images. and were is the recycling coming into it?
I looked on my packages, I don't see anywhere that any card ever (from the 1984 matel SW figures, to the newest MI) have ever had recycled packaging. I think these new packages are meant to appeal to young "hip" tec-ish minded consumers, and judging by the feel of the new packs I'd say they're cheaper to produce. P.S, you might want to get a blood sample from anyone offering a deep throat on the internet... just saying.
