Sweet Matrix Collectible

$1000 isn't too bad for that (well, taking into consideration that I have a pet at home that cost me over $3000 to buy). It's pretty rare from the sounds of it.

Hmmm. Can we call some people who know some people that are in connection with a few other people that know Seraph that can call the Oracle to come to Debir Court to hand out some candy for us for Halloween? I just love candy. Don't you?
