			dnd.showCases();
	}
	
}

why is that the showMEssage() method is showing it's message while showCases(); method cannot?

Add some printlns to the showCases method to display the values of the variables that control whether it prints or not.

I am trying to print out the faces of my Briefcase object , and there's already printlns on it look

public void showCases(){
		for (int a = 1; a < briefcase.length; a++) {
			if (briefcase[a] == null) { //skip this block

			} else {
				System.out.println("\t" +briefcase[a].getFace() + " ");
				if (a % 5 == 0) {
					System.out.println();
				}
			}
		}
	}

You need more printlns for debugging.

Add a println at line 4 to show the value of a.
Add a println before line 2 to show the length of the array

Okay, I've Fixed lol, I didn't initiate my objects! Silly me!

I suspect that 27 "null" messages were printed.
