I was warned early on about this by a few other folks, so I already feel silly passing this on to you all….

This is an open apology to EVERYONE who was waiting to participate in the Mystery Box.

I have deliberately avoided this thread that I started because I’m already feeling very embarrassed about the fact that I feel too overwhelmed to continue with this. I have decided in lieu of my two jobs (military, teaching in a junior high), a looming custody fight with my ex-wife, and a few other issues in my family related to serious illness that I cannot handle the extra weight of putting together a Mystery Box for everyone. I hope I’m not leaving anyone on the hook as a result, but if people are waiting, I need to respectfully, quietly bow out for now because shortly after I started this conversation, some major curve balls were thrown at me – one of which stands to cost me thousands of dollars and a LOT of tears. I feel dumb because I don’t think I thought this through beforehand.

I am so very sorry for getting any of your hopes up and I hope you all forgive me. I encourage anyone else to check with Harris first and get his permission to do this, if any of you so inclined.

I want to also make it crystal clear that this decision, and my subsequent embarrassment, is mine alone and no-one else should be blamed.

Thank you for understanding and again...... I’m very sorry
Geoff

Interesting questions...

Not sure any of them have any bearing on whether a box will be properly handled or not, judging from previous experience.

TCG Chase? Really?

Don't give this a second thought - a mystery box is not as important as family or health. Our thoughts & prayers are with you at this time.
