Essentials is a 110-card set formed from the out-of-print GameMastery Item Pack One and the follow-up Hero’s Hoard booster set combined together for the first time ever ...

BTW, Item Pack One was a 52 card set and Hero's Hoard was 110, but if I recall correctly, there was a 30ish card overlap, leaving about about 130 unique cards. While essentials won't have ALL the cards from both sets, at 110, it will probably have MOST of them.

Nothing new though, right?

Any idea which ones yet? I'd love to see a list, but because I already have a lot of these, the most useful list would be one that says which ones they were in the old sets. "#23 Short Sword" wouldn't help me because I would have no idea which short sword was being reprinted. But something that said, "Item Pack One cards being reprinted: 01, 03, 04, etc." would be fantastic.

OK, if anyone with certain powers that be are actually reading these boards, I have a better suggestion for what should be in this, not so much item pack one and Hero's Hoard but all the cards from Hero's Hoard and Relics of War combined! Item pack One was already put out as a boxed set complete. But Hero's Hoard and Relics of War were not. I don't care about shiny foil cards I want every single card from the entire set available as one stinkin' set I can shove in the binder I already bought to keep everything straight with the same kinds of display pages other folks use for baseball cards. Can you do that for us please?

Let me amend my earlier request, at 110 cards please just reprint Hero's Hoard as a complete set and use the same numbers so I can combine this deck with the cards I already have of Hero's Hoard in my binder and have one complete set with a lot of extra cards for some items. I rather liked the chainmail that was reprinted from Item Pack 1 in Hero's Hoard. Heck I used the card as a reference for a con badge picture at a convention! If I can get the scanner working I'll make sure I scan the badge for those that want to see it.

You know, its as if these Paizo guys know that I've not been spending money on monthly releases of 3.5 and Forgotten Realms stuff and have decided to help be empty my wallet in the manner it has become accustomed to over the last few years.
