So, I quite like minimalist wallets & my first was the Code 118 which I enjoyed using for a couple of years. I'd have continued using it but I saw that Groove Life got an NFL deal so I ordered one of them & I was OK with it. Still, the Bills icon wasn't very noticeable against the grey background & the top loader mechanism had a habit of spitting out all my cards at once. Still, I thought it was good enough until Groove Life released a better Bills wallet less than a year after I purchased the first one. This second version was white with a large Bills color icon. It was much better. So, after some internal debate about spending another hundred dollars on a wallet less than a year after the first one, I gave in & it was much better. I'd have much preferred that it was a black wallet with a Bills icon but there was no such thing.
That is until the folks at the Ridge got an NFL license & came out with their Carbon Fiber version & it looked terrific. But as much as I liked how it looked, I couldn't justify spending another $150 on a wallet after spending over $200 on the Groove Life versions just a year ago. So, I put it off for about a month but I still wanted the Ridge Carbon Fiber one. I guess you could say I became a bit obsessed with it. Lol.
Still, I couldn't think of an excuse to spend a buck & a half on another wallet when I had 2 perfectly good ones. So, I put my thoughts of the Ridge aside for a bit longer. Until I found the scratches on the white wallet. They weren't…
