UFC Moment of Truth AND Knockout 2012

UPS have promised that my package will be delivered today.

So sometime this afternoon/evening I'll be breaking my first two boxes of Moment of Truth, followed immediately by my first two boxes of Knockout 2012.

Good Luck Cormac.
My tracking says my cases will be here by the end of business today. The problem is I have to wait till Ripsnorta gets back from overseas before we rip them open .

Oh man. My willpower would be sorely tested in a situation like that.

Maybe you could just tell him that a whole lot of rats ate through the boxes and packs, but for some reason left the cards mint...

 

[UFCtrader]

Boxes are here. The trade-off for me is that now my cold/flu/thing has gotten worse.

Going to have to be very careful not to sneeze on anything valuable...
