The cards are here so we're a go for our break in about 2 hours. We do have a decision to make, though. The box of 11-12 Past and Present is damaged on the back, so the cards inside could be damaged as well. It looks like it would only affect about 25% of the packs, but I could be wrong. The choices are we can either send the box back for a replacement box, or we can open it and send in the damaged hits (if there are any) and hope Panini will replace them.
If it were up to me alone I'd say just open it and just beg Panini to replace any of the damaged hits we receive, but I'm fine with whatever the group as a whole wants to do. I've never dealt with Panini, or any other manufacturer, concerning damaged hits so I have no idea what they'd do about it. We've got 2 hours to decide.
