Well folks, Its been 3 yrs and its time for the military to move me again. This time instead of another hot, in the middle of no-where place, I'm moving the family to Hickam AFB, Hawaii. Yeah, its a tough assignment, but somebody has to do it.

Now for the horror portion....The housing on the base is small and I mailed my SW card collection to my parents house (in NC) for safe keeping....only 4 of 5 boxes arrived. Fear not, it appears the dastardly foe only took my EP1 (ser 1&2), EP2 (Ser 1&2), SW (Gold) Sp. Ed., and SW 3Di, sets did not arrive. Believe me, that was enough. I could not bear them taking more. I did ensure the boxes, but for not near enough to replace them.

Anyway, back to my point, if anyone sends something via USPS or another carrier, I highly encourage them to insure there shipment for something near their accurate(replacement) value. This is the first time USPS has lost one of my shipment so everyone please be careful.

Happy collecting and thanks to Cathy and JOKARDS for all the help these many years.

I'll email you once I'm settled.

Oh how terrible.

It really is a shame to lose even a small part of a collection. And while the base sets for these won't be too terrible to rebuild, fully rebuilding will take a good deal of time.

Then again, more opportunities to trade!

Hope Hawaii turns out to be great.
