1966 MCI case opening

Post by Fallout420 » Thu Dec 09, 2021 11:38 am

An update to those following my last post about the 1966 MCI case I snagged. Finally decided to open it, I debated leaving it sealed but the outer box was in rough shape and degrading so I figured it was better to salvage what I could.

The inside looked better than I was expecting, and while the M units are toast, I was able to salvage much of everything else. All accessory packets seemed to survive in great shape! The cat was even interested and had fun swatting the P38 packets around lol

If there’s interest, I might put a few meals over on the marketplace for others to enjoy

Haha unfortunately not, but she’s a playful cat and I’m sure she’ll be back at it soon, I’ll try to snag one then!

I'd be interested as well if you'd like to PM me. I know I'm brand new here. First post - lol. But I did buy something from texrdnec on ebay. I've been a member on ebay since 1999 and my paypal account is from 2000.
