    Holy cow, I cannot say enough positive things about this seller and the entire purchase experience. The packs arrived super quick, and the packaging were super protective and very nicely put together. I kind of felt like I was opening a gift on my birthday or Christmas morning. And the packs are mint! I am fighting the myself to decide if I should open them, save one to get graded as a pack, etc. I could not be happier and I will be checking back soon for more great deals!!!
