Your spoiler tag seems like it isn't working as intended.

There doesn't seem to be much value in Ice Age. You might get lucky and pull two of the few rares over $4, along with StP and maybe a couple snow-covered lands - which basically is only the break even point.

That sounds about right to me, cklise, but since Ice Age is when I originally found MtG, they have high sentimental value to me as well.Will try to fix that link mistake when I get home, assuming I can figure it out....

I'd actually be psyched to pull a Goblin Ski Patrol!

Will let you know which uncommon & rares come out of them.

In case anyone still listening:

The 2 Ice Packs arrived (over two weeks late due to shipping error) sometime over the weekend. Pack #1 (Wolf, Ron Spencer illustrated) included:

Rare = Icy Prison

Honorable mentions/runners up (no uncommons in booster?) = Kjeldoran Dead, Nacre Talisman, Mystic Remora

Since I was kept waiting for more than an extra week to receive them, we will be in suspense for a few more days while I delay my gratification in opening Ice Pack #2....

Oh, I forgot to mention another card from the 1st booster: Glacial Chasm! Probably slipped my mine b/c it went immediately into hard plastic case, then straight into lockbox (Mine, Mine, Mine!).

Contents of Ice Pack the Second:

Rare = Glaciers

Uncommon = Leshrac's Sigil, Wall of Pine Needles, and Baton of Morale ("Can I get some Banding?")

So, no Ski Patrol, but it was really fun & I dont regret the price tag one bit.
