GETTING IT BACK ???
A photo on this forum of the box seems to be the closest i'll get to one of the boxes , let alone having another crack at it . Maybe a list of whose had them would help so as many unique reciepients as possible could have a delve

[/QUOTE]
I didn't say today!

But in the future would be cool, and as Lesley said there is a list of names of who had the box.

Quaint1Apologies for the lack of any posts on this from me, but I've not been able to get to a computer on a regular basis (or, at least, not as regular as usual!). Mystery Box A was collected on my behalf this afternoon and can be considered as having arrived safely.
Unfortunately, for health reasons I don't want to go into, I won't be able to send the box out to the next lucky recipient for a couple of weeks - but rest assured I WILL send it as soon as is physically possible.
Thanks for sending it! It's interesting to see the mix of cards in there!
Au Res.,

LesleyWPaul,
Sorry to hear that you're not feeling well, hope getting the box made you feel a little better.

barobehereHow are things going with the box? How are the labels holding up, do I need to send some to be restocked?
Any mystery box stories to tell? If so share them here!

wolfieBox A is at a standstill due to illness. Plenty of labels in it though.
Box B has not been heard from in awhile.
Where can it be? Only the sender knows.

BatmanBox B showed up at the Batcave today, addressed to both Batman and Lana Lang. Two for one! We have selected our cards and replaced then with I hope some nice cards. Box B will be on it's way again on Monday, I'm fairly certain where it's going, but I want to think about it some more. Thanks for the Card Talk member who sent it to us, it was fun!

barobeherebatman and Lana lang-the first duel receivers of a mystery box! That's two more names off the list of people who have got the box!
11 US states the mystery box has visited so far!
August 31, 2004, 12:00 PM
Over_Worked_MomIs neither box in the US then

COME BACK BOX A OR BOX B - WE MISS YOU!!

Just kidding - I'm glad to see them going to far away places - means more chances for cool cards I've never seen to get put in...

mac13How can I get involved? I havn't received a mystery box yet, and would like to! I have traded with many Card Talk members. Can someone put a good word in for me?

You have done all you can do. Each person who recieves the box gets to chose the person that want to send the box next too. Hopefully, it will get to you at some point!

For example....
If you have recently traded with a person, they may think that you deserve the box.
They then send it to you, in secet.
It is all about connections.
You need to have traded with a person that has not yet had the box, and who has your address to stand a chance.
Hope this helps clarify things -- Chris

We're a close group, if you needed an address of someone who has expressed interest in the boxes but you haven't traded with, it wouldn't be hard to get without them knowing. Be creative...
