The mystery box
Four boxes are in the hands of the USPS... 3 staying in the Colonies and one going over the pond to Europe somewhere. And my wallet is $60 lighter! I hope to see some happy posts here on Monday.

Michele,

You were the "winner" of the contributor's drawing (I placed all the original contributors' names into a hat and drew one). I am pleased that you found some cards in there that you wanted/needed.

Tim

I forgot to ask Michele... which box did you get? There are pictures on two sides of the box identifying which box you got (and I randomized the boxes so I had no idea who was getting which box).

The pictures on the box I received are of a lady on her knees peeking into a goldish box and sort of purplish background.

I did, I did!! Bouncey Elephant Bouncey

I can't believe it. I received the box.
I was stunned. I never thought i would actually get it. My family looked at me like I was crazy.

Here is how it went:

I was in the house in my daughters room helping her clean up, when my partner Matt walked in saying "What's up with this bomb?"

I looked at the box and the return address says Mr. Timothy Smeltzer. Boy that name sounded familiar, and this box weighs a ton. Wait a minute, could it be, "Me", I got the box. Matt looked at me and said "You need to get a life" LOL!!

Everything in it is great. Thanks to Tim for all of your hard work and everyone for their donations.

I've gone through the box twice now, making sure I didn't miss anything. Confirmed what I already had (had to put some back) and this is what I have picked out:

Spike PW1 coat from Buffy with redemption card.
(completes my set, I already had the PW2)
Chris Henderson Tin Man B&W preliminary sketch from Wizard of OZ. (My first sketch from Wizard of OZ)
Firefly P-UK promo (The last card I needed, I now have the Master set of Firefly)
Smallville SM3-1 Promo
Angel Season 2 AL-1 promo

I will have this box shipped to the next person during this week.

About the box: Tim - Is the picture from Battlestar Galactica the original Series?

That sounds familiar! Congratulations, and to finish off a master set in such a nice way is extra special.
