That is how I think too!
So, I go out and spend money on cards, that is of equal value of posting it again!

Currently one is "lost" in the mail system and as for the time it has been there, it may never resurface.

As for the other, I haven't really checked into yet.

Um - the box I had is making it's way far, far away - I contacted the person, so they know to expect it Smile (and to verify shipping address)and it's starting it's long and arduous journey today.

And no, I'm not telling where it's headed!

I think it is safe to say that box "B" is offically lost in transition.

So someone in the mail service has it.

That is a great idea!
If anyone has no objections, I will put some cards in on it, then I will contact the people.
LMK if it is OK, and I will start on it.

Thanks -- Chris Big Grin

I don't know about everyone else - but it seems very exclusionary to come here and say "HEY - we're going to make our OWN mystery box and only send it to 1 of 7 people - Nyah nyah nyah"

There are a LOT of people on this board and I'm very sorry I didn't send it to one of you, but frankly Andy had never recieved it beforehand either and I had serious doubts that anyone would have even considered sending a package to Singapore. Australia's hard enough Wink but at least there are several collectors there - last time I checked, we only had the one member from Singapore...

If someone wants to start a new box B to replace the lost one i would be all for it but please let us not exclude anyone from recieving it.

Hey Chris,
Just so you know, the box was in transit to you when it disappeared off the map.

When I started this I wanted it to be fun. I hope No one takes it personally that the box has not got to them yet! Both boxes have/had travel the world and that takes time!

As for conjuring up a "new" box b. What do you guys think? I can get another one up and going with the letter inside or we can just let box A be it.

I like one box. If "A" goes AWOL, then maybe another box should be considered, but it was getting very difficult to keep track of where each one was...
