Do you mean the Citizen Kane card? I think that was it but I may be mistaken. I don't have one handy but I did find one on eBay:

My five packs of Cartoon Sketches left Atlanta last night. If they make it through the Nashua sorting facility this afternoon, I'm golden for tomorrow.

Tomorrow can't get here soon enough. The seller on the Galaxy 5 box got it to me at warp speed and it's been sooooooo very hard to keep from ripping it open.

I've got my box ready too. Something a bit untraditional -- but not too much so.

Will probably open the forum up early this evening for anyone overseas where it's already April 9th. And I guess it already is now for people in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Malaysia, etc.

Unless my case of Dangerous Divas arrives today (doubtful for a Saturday), I shall be bereft of any box to open or paw at longingly.

Have fun anyway guys

Hi All:

Thanks everyone who is posting in the Open That Box! day thread. As a small thank you, I'll be giving away a Bettie Page Private Collection "FOB" promo to one random person who posts there and who has shared their OTB day experience. It'll just be random, not based on the best post or anything like that. All either through all of the names in a hat or use the random number generator to determine the winner.

Thanks again for participating.

Harris

Sure. And thanks everyone who opened a box this weekend. Thanks for making it another successful Open That Box! day. I hope everyone enjoyed it.

By my calculation, we had just about 50 people participate from seven different countries.

By the way, I have just pulled a name at random (using the random number generator) from all those who participated on Saturday to win a Bettie Page Private Collection "FOB" promo card...and the winner is "TheUberBob". Bob, I'll be in touch by e-mail shortly.
