Ok,

I am interested in starting a non-sport promo mystery box and I have the extra promo's to get the box started. What I am missing are people to send the box to

The box would contain a mix of star wars and other non-sport promo's.

If you would be intested in a box like this, reply to this post. I would like to keep the number between 10-12 people. Anybody is welcome.

So, would anyone like to join

Count me in!

I'll give it a try.

not much into non-sw, but i surely have something someone can use. sure, count me in.

Ok...That is 4 people so far:

1) CypherBos
2) karefrey
3) davelennox
4) elephant

Any other takers???

Based on experience with the other mystery box it seems like its better for the cards to be in a container rather than in a binder. The binder is a little harder and more expensive to mail due to its weight.

C'mon folks. This would be a good chance to get a look at some of those other sets we pass up so we have more cash for the SW stuff. Anyone????

Alright, could be fun for a goof. I seem to have accumulated a bunch of non-SW promos, so count me in.

and the ship is

a. loading

b. ready for blast-off

c. still in mothballs

d. long, long ago in a galaxy far, far away...

Ship is waiting to take off.

I am going to give this one more week to see if anybody else wants to join.

If you have already agreeded to participate, please send me a PM with your shipping address and i will start getting all of that together.

thanks for the patience,

--- Arbra

Finally!!!

Thanks for everyone's patience. I have finally gotten some time to work on this.

I have one person to contact for an address. I have already compiled the promo cards into a box and it will be shipped off early next week.

Thanks again for everyone's patience.

yoo-hoo. GLAD to hear it.

what's the order, please?

And the package goes into the mail tomorrow!!

The order is:

1) CypherBos
2) karefrey
3) davelennox
4) seeker
5) elephant


Hope everyone has fun with this

Just post here when you receive the package and when you mail it off.

Even though the repairs took longer than usual, they were finally finished and so the SHIP HAS LEFT THE DOCK The ship left this morning during lunch.

May the force be with it

Shame there aren't more folks involved in this one. This box was much larger than I was expecting and full of all sorts of stuff. Thanks to elephant, I've added more sets to my 'collect these eventually' list. He was very generous in loading this box. It'll be on it's way out on monday afternoon.

The cargo arrived safe and sound. Wow! There are a lot of cards. Pretty good variety, too. I should get it sent out today or tomorrow.

I hope it arrived this week. I was able to get it out on last Sat. Sorry I didn't post a message. I had to go out of town this week. Should be there any time.

my bad. it arrived with only minor cannon fire damage on Monday. it's a gold mine, even if most of the gold doesn't fit my jewelry store inventory.

but i found some things for 'like to collect some day' and a couple for overseas friends. i hope i gave equally.

this is fun, let's do it again.

kudos to elephant for starting this. i WAS amazed at the sheer variety of cards.

cheers,

Earl (davelennox)

finally shipped on the 17th. should reach colin at any second.

This particular ship left spacedock for its home port on Saturday.

This box was a lot of fun to dig through. There are more card sets than I could ever imagine.

If anybody has a spare set of The Tick cards, I would be interested!!!

It occurs to me that this is the one place on CC that we can discuss non-SW. Like Seeker, I found cards I never knew existed.

Does anyone have a set of the B-5 Women in Motion cards for trade/sale?
Lone Ranger by Dart?
Jim Warren?
Dali?
Jurassic Park III - 3D

Does anyone need John Berkey?
B-5 Season 5?
The Phantom?
Marvel Holograms?

And the ship made it back home!!

Thanks for everyone involved in making this a success. From teh sounds of it, everyone found one or more cards that they needed.

Now the question is what happens next?

Do we want to send it back out? Does everyone want to stay in? Wait for more people? Any other ideas?

Please let your thoughts be known

Thanks,

--- Arbra

Count me in for Round 2 - after Jan 1. I need time to accumulate more.

Let's try to double the group size. I can nominate others NOT from CC.

It was fun to see the PLETHORA of choices. If only I had the strength and patience and $$ to collect other sets.

Nice job, elephant.

I would be in for another round, like Earl though, I think it may be a while before I have enough non-SW promos to be able to participate.

I don't actively collect much that isn't SW, so it takes a while for me to get anything to contribute, and I used all I had when the box came to me!

I'm in for a 2nd round. Maybe after the holidays would be best. May be able to pull a few extra folks on board next time.
