Showing posts with the label year of flat-rate boxes

Inventory complete

About a month-and-a-half ago, I received a packed medium flat-rate box from Chris of The Collector as one of the prizes for commenting on his sports cities tour posts. I posted  after a quick look through the goodies just because I knew if I waited until I had everything inventoried, Chris might have been wondering if the box ever got to me. Since it's arrival, I've been sorting and totaling and figuring out just exactly what I needed out of the big ol' box. After filtering out the dupes, I've got the whole box broken down and I'm going to list it all here. There is actually not all that much that I want from this box, so if anyone is collecting certain sets, let me know and I can send you the cards (I feel silly writing this since it's been a month since I've sent anybody any cards, but I assure you I'll get to all the outgoing packages eventually). Those cards/sets that I'd like to keep, I'll note in the list in big red letters . OK...

This year seems to be the year of "send a flat-rate box to night owl". I don't want to sound like I'm complaining because all of those flat-rate boxes contain cards. Also, in some of the cases (not all) I asked for them. But night owl's eyes (you've seen an owl's eyes, right?) are bigger than his card space and even more importantly, they are bigger than the amount of time it takes to process cards coming in at that rate. I mean look at this: Who has time for this? I received this box of goodies from Chris at The Collector as prize winnings for participating in his Sports Cities Tour series, which was quite the captivating collection of posts. Among the prize possibilities was a selection of Renata Galasso Greats from the late '70s -- just about nothing interests me more that is not already in my collection. I was about to add that to my "haves" when Fuji swooped in at the last second and nabbed it. Oh, well, So what'...
