There's just something about that new card smell.
congrats! 
nice 3 ccs
I like when you pull the new cards off of the paper and that rubbery sticky gluey stuff stretches like a hot cheesey pizza..sometimes I'll put the card back on and pull it off again..such a FICO weirdo...
Starting Score: TU 595 EX 600 EQ 585
Took me a couple years. I hated taking the pulls and the hit on the AAoA. I know I'm going to take a hit, but it's necessary to thicken my CR. I'm aiming for 820+ across the boards.
July 2013 score: EQ FICO 819, TU08 778, EX "806 lender pull 07/26/2013
Goal Score: All Scores 760+, Newest goal 800+
Take the myFICO Fitness Challenge
Current scores after adding $81K in CLs and 2 new cars since July 2013
EQ:809 TU 777 EX 790 Now it's just garden time!
June 2017 update: All scores over 820, just pure gardening now.

Funny story, I was approved for the CSP last week and called to had it expedited. I got it on Monday and took the card out so fast that the sticky glue ripped off part of the Silver Visa logo! There's a line of silver stuck on the glue.
I dealt with it for an entire day and ordered a replacement card online. I was too OCD and in love with this beautiful card to deal with it.
The next day I got another CSP in the mail and realized it came way too quick. I called in to activate it and it turns out this was the original card they sent out when I was approved.
I asked the Rep to cancel the other replacement card order but she said it already shipped! Lol
Guess I'll have backups now

You can give me the first one you got. I really wouldn't mind 
I am loving this thread
I've never really noticed the new credit card smell. I may have to get a new card to check it out.
