I've been absent way too long. For the few that do know me, I've been Afghanistan for the past 3 months. I have one month left. For about the last month and half to two months, my internet has been incredibly bad. I've had to go to mobile versions of most sites. It's that bad. For whatever reason it's sped up the last week or so, so I thought I'd pop in and see how everyones been doing. I've been hitting eBay like crazy while I've been here. I'm about 10 cards away from completing the 2010 SPx Shadow Box set. If you have one or know anyone that has one, let me know and maybe we can work something out. I've also picked up a lot of odds and ends on eBay as well. I can't wait to get back because I'll get to scan them all and show them off to all of you. I've also purchased qutie a few boxes to bust when I get back. I'll be sure to post those as well when I get back. My girlfriend has been the best while I've been gone. Dutifully collecting all eBay gems and autographed mini helmets. She's also been assisting with the purchase of a new home! My new house closes on the 14th and I'll get to move right in when I get back. Lots of stuff going on as you can see. I get one room that is designated my "man cave" so I may be hitting up some of you for some ideas. Anyways, just wanted to check in, share some good news with everyone and see how everyone is doing. Give me some updates on your latest pulls!

Thanks! I can't wait. It's going to be like Christmas when I get back. I'll have at least 5 boxes to open. Super pumped

I know how you feel getting back to all your packages. I moved away about 4 months agao but all my packages still go to my parents house...whenever I go into town theres always stacks of stuff. You honestly forge about some of the random stuff.

Ya I've actually already forgot about some stuff. I have to go through my past purchases to make sure I don't double buy something.
