Nice work.....good that you were able to get your deal done the old fashioned way.
I remember having to go to the exchange to change Aussie Dollars for USD back in the day.......would have been 2000-2002. That's 10 years now.
Can also remember back in the mid 90's I bought my first boxes straight from the US, using BBs BSB (whatever they were called). I remember the first ones I got were the 94/95 Skybox Series II. and then they arrived in the mail!
