Post up packaging and your initial impressions of the card! Benchies are welcome too!

 

[ThorpedoUK]

I have no idea why but I'm actually looking forward to other people getting these cards today (I am ordering next week) just so I can see how good they are!

 

[gurusan]

Same as me! Would like to see actual forum member opinions.
