I empathize with your angst and impatience. I recently bought my first card via the “vault” process. Pretty long and tedious. A key aspect of our participation in this hobby, at least for many if not most of us, is that it plays to our inner little kid. So, after the wait of several weeks, I found the little kid in me complaining (mentally) that I’m tired of waiting and I want my damn card. Long gone are the days when we kids could look forward, after just a few days, to the arrival of the postman.
That’s progress, I guess.
