I think the more boxes the merrier. It means more people will get to recieve them.

But as i said before lets not exclude anyone from recieving them.

My response was not directed at you, but rather Chris who seemed to want to run with your idea. And no, I don't have a sense of humor - ask anyone.

That was why I was so appreciative of Joanna for taking the effort to wanting to send the box to me and contacting me. But admittedly, I haven't been trading as actively as I would like to so I would also understand if no one knows me or would consider wanting to send to me. So no hard feelings there! Wink

The latest trade I had last week was with Chris Byrne and have to say that he's a nice chap. I guess he made his remarks innocently so I would ask that everyone excuse him for the remarks he made.

Ok, for all those guys who haven't received either boxe A or B before, just send me an e-mail with your address. I will write down all the addresses into little slips and let my neighbour's 4 year old son choose the next person to receive box A, ok? Hope this sounds fair to all other chaps and may it settle the 'tense' atmosphere in this thread.

As this box has finally reached me in Asia, I will of course also be adding in some Asian exclusive cards (Japanese star wars cards)aside from the other normal inserts. I feel its more fun, adding cards which are only available in your region.

Andy

Hey Card House,Send it to whom ever you want to,Dont worry about me or anybody else whinning about not getting the box,if we get it great,if not,oh well,we somehow managed to buy and trade cards before the boxes came to be,so i think we will all survive if we never get it,brandocles

Just in case another box spawns forth,what kind of dimensions are we looking at ? What about postage ?

The original concept is that there are only to be 100 cards in the box, that would keep the cost of postage down. One of the boxes spun out of control and was like 1000 cards at one point. Luckily, a few recepiates were able to prune it down to a more acceptable mailing level even thought it was still 400+ cards.

So, to answer the question 100 cards. If you get it you pay postage. But there is a notice in the box that if you want to end the mystery box cause you don't want to pay the postage, you just need to mail off the SASE that is in the bottom of the box, so we can know it is dead.

I knew you were joking but Chris looked as if he was actually going to run with it. Smile

I don,t like this bit. Does this mean if you get the box you can just keep all the cards and send a note saying so. Eek

Box B has surfaced !!!!

I received a letter from HM Customs today telling me that it was being returned. The recipient was out when the postie tried to deliver it and they did not go and collect it, so it came back to me by surface mail.

It will be posted at the end of this week ( as long as I have it ) to the next lucky person.

Amazing! this is excellent news!

As for wolfies question. You saw the rules when you got the mystery box! If you want to keep all the cards and kill off the box it is your option!!!!

I was going to e-mail people about it, but I thought that more than us have not received any of the boxes.

I was going to continue with the idea, but I knew that that it may come to a stop, and maybe someone may still get left out.

I did not mean to spoil anyones fun, or harm anyone.

Thanks -- Chris Big Grin

Don't feel pressured.I am one of those "non-recievers" and it is the anticipation of being picked that is part of the fun.As far as I am aware,there is a list of previous recipients in the box.I'm sure there is someone on this board who can supply contact details for the next reciever.It's nice to know that there is some thought,like Over_Worked_Mom did,as to who gets it next,wherever you are.
As I said before,it's supposed to be FUN,not a right.
