I hope you get ones you are shooting for ! Have you considered trading any ?
I have thought of trading. But I'm worried about making it worth it as some are not as good as others.

wait... that may have been confusing. Out of the total 39 packs I've opened, which includes the 12 new packs, no Armstrong.

Sorry to hear, assuming the three posted above are from the 12, are you going to post the other 9?

Ok, 6 posted and 6 to go :thumb:

Honestly I fear this may be my last bunch. I'm not sure how many more the dealer me and Doodlebird have been buying from has but we both keep getting outbid buy the same guy so this is getting too rich for my blood. The dealer we've been buying from told me he had 200 packs, which kind of makes sense as he's been posting new packs ever week since 2013. I've got to say though, I'm a little disappointed now knowing that Rittenhouse sold almost half of these in bulk to one dealer. Makes it difficult for others to buy direct from them, but then again the most I paid for from this dealer was $40 a pack. I think this exclusive set thing would have been better had it been cheaper anyway. Most fans bought direct from Rittenhouse so they could assure they had a set and paid $69 (exactly what I did) and then then a short time later you can pick them up for almost half that on eBay. Then again there wasn't a high demand on ebay either, it was always the same 3-5 people bidding each week and most of the time it was me and Doodlebird, then this other guy would come in at the end and out bid us.

I guess I went on a bit of a rant there. I'm sad that these may become harder to find for a good price now but then again I can't complain, I did buy A LOT of packs. OH which reminds me, the count on the amount of packs I actually "opened" was wrong. I wasn't thinking at the time that I bought a bunch of cards from eBay that were already opened. I think the more accurate count of packs actually opened is 22 or 25.

I'll get the rest posted soon, but since this may be a wrap for me and buying these cards I wanted to leave some anticipation as I posted these. :thumb:
