Annnnnnnnd my "coffee" budget just increased a little bit more now :)

Can't wait to buy a few packs!

I'm still convinced this is what the Black Diamond base set would look like if it was a mid range product.

3 card packs, and a 100 card base set. That's a LOT of coffees..... especially if the inserts are tough pulls (like they could be from McDonalds)

Looks like I will be doing a few more than usual Tim runs. Insert cards look pretty nice to me. Probably will try to a complete base set and insert set. SCF traders keep an eye out for my trader once the cards are available.

Hmmm...two coffees per day = 2 packs. Six cards per day assuming they're hard and fast one that one-pack-with-purchase rule (hint: they won't be). 100 card set, plus randomly assorted inserts. Can't ever assume perfect collation (the old McDo sets would be so frustrating with identical packs from the same purchase) 100/6 is about 17 days...assume you'll hit some inserts & duplication. You're looking at about 3 weeks to put together a set. LOL

Figured it would be Canada only but still held out hope the US Timmy's would be included, that's a let down.

Guess I need to find a Canadian who can pick up some packs for me now.

Pack searching will be in full swing. ...if there's patches and jerseys and thick cards...
