The mystery box
Or maybe it will return home.
I am curious as to what it looks like after all this time. Hard to believe I started this years ago.

I recently came across this thread and read some of the pages. Barobehere, you've done a great job coordinating a successful mystery box. I love that it brings collectors closer together even if they're miles apart. It also promotes the spirit of the hobby...trading cards! Thumb Up kudos to you and the recipients who have kept the spirit alive and well. Clap

Um, over the next week the temperature here is supposed to be a lovely 80-85 degrees, with a pleasant evening cooldown. The box has had a rough trip at times and this would be the perfect vacation for it. I can show it the town, take it to the beach... Cool

Well, I am sure it would like to go overseas after its visit to California. I mean, summer in California is very nice Surf

As there is only one box still going it is unlikely that most cardtalkers will ever see it. Even if people turned the box round in 2 weeks only 26 people a year would see it. It is not a right of membership of this board to get the mystery box.

Plus it seems you need to be in the USA to stand a chance of seeing it Frown
I know non -USA members have had previous boxes, but not lately.

Perhaps our diamond cardtalker will volunteer... Big Grin
