I start doing dishes for like 10 minutes, and then think "Maybe I should check the tracking number just to make sure it's out for delivery today." I check the tracking info, and it tells me "Delivery attempted: Customer not at home." It was time stamped for 4 minutes ago. Sure enough, I look at my apartment door again and there's a delivery notice right on it! If I didn't get those cards, I would have to wait until Monday for the next delivery where I wouldn't be home to receive it again, so I grabbed my coat and run out to my car in a pair of slippers thinking I could track the guy down. Sure enough, I decide to take a right turn out of my building and there's the FedEx truck stopped at a red light! So I chase the guy for 15 minutes before he realizes I'm following him and pulls over on the side of the highway where I'm able to get my cases.

It turns out some idiot in my building taped a note on the door that said "My buzzer doesn't work, please call this number if you're delivering a package." Since this guy DIDN'T PUT HIS APARTMENT NUMBER ON THE NOTE the FedEx driver assumed it was meant for him and called some random guy about my package, and when he didn't pick up he left. That's why my buzzer never rang.

I'll post a break later, one case was significantly better than the other, the highlight of the break being a Billie Piper Tardis patch auto. It was a really fun break, however a manufactured patch/box really sucks. It basically makes the boxes 1 hit/box. Nobody wants manufactured patches. Also, a printing plate as a hit is pretty damn cheap as well. I've never heard of a product before counting a printing plate as a hit. It's a bonus. And even with 2 cases purchased, to this day I've still never pulled a true 1/1 out of a pack before. Plates doesn't count. Was hoping for at least a gold base. I just hope next series they can do a lot better on the hits. Each case has 24 "hits". 12 of those are manufactured patches, 3 of them are Ood Costumes, and 1 is a printing plate. That leaves only 8 "real" hits in my opinion. There needed to be a lot more variety. Even with those criticisms though, there is still a lot of value in the cases.

Any Louise Jameson?
