Well, after much duress, I was finally able to get 5 boxes of Panini Limited Hockey.

[Long story - I tried to order from Blowoutcards, but they really got in the way of themselves... I asked them to ship to my work, but that couldn't be done because they would only accept Paypal which requires shipping only to the billing address of the credit card (I didn't want to use my paypal balance, just a cc). Even though 'work' is a valid shipping address for the card, you can't make Paypal understand in less than 2 weeks, so I gave up... Then I get a shipping notice from UPS with my old address (i.e. not my current billing address)! So, they couldn't ship to an alternate address... This got corrected before shipment, though, so no worries... Then I get the packing slip/invoice... for 5 boxes of Limited FOOTBALL... They'll have to check that tomorrow as everyone is gone now... I get an email the next morning that, yes, football shipped, but they will recall and send the correct stuff. I emailed back and wanted an explanation of their perspective (these were bought under the 'YouTube sponsorship' discount) and what they could do to make it easier to say what a pleasure it was to work with them... radio silence... I finally, after waiting over 3 hrs for a response, asked for my order to be cancelled and a full refund (this was granted within 15 minutes or request with a note that said, "Sorry. Just saw your email." Riiiiigghhhhttt...).]

Talked to the great folks at Pittsburgh Sports Wholesale (may have changed to just Pittsburgh Sports) and got my 5 boxes at a great price, fast shipping, and with GREAT customer service! Turns out, I wasn't asking 'too much'.

I love to break something nice, a little higher end, during the Cup Finals and since I'm doing the Limited base set, I figured this was just the thing! So here's the first box of my break...
