FACE TO FACE

[Ocatarinetabellatchitchix]

Bought these two Tetrici yesterday. With the Victorinus, I’m only missing a Postumus brockage (since no Marius or Laelianus of this error’s type are known) to complete the series. But Houston we have a problem: Due to the ongoing Canada Post strike, all postal services to Canada are suspended… and if I use Fedex, it’ll cost me 45£ + probably 50 cad of customs fees to get them to my door. Hoping the action house will be willing to keep them for a few weeks…

PLEASE SHOW ME YOUR « FACE TO FACE » coins !

When you say 'face to face' does cheek to cheek count?
