Box should be going to 200lb, then to Mier in NV to get it back on track. The order is in post #46 and should have matched the PM. if it did not, I do apologize for that. I don't have a copy of it anymore. I will move the order to post 1.

Bill Menard · Apr 9, 2013

Nice Rum! Glad you found some stuff in there you could use! It was mostly sitting collecting dust in my house. Looking forward to seeing what cool stuff finds its way back to me!

Box on its way to 200 lb

200lbhockeyplayer · Apr 11, 2013

Just got the box. I'll go through it today/tonight and get it back out tomorrow.

To keep everything in the same size box, get rid of the broken plastic cases and keep things in better shape, I'll probably shift a lot of the "bulk" stuff into standard cardboard card boxes. Hope that's cool with everyone.

200lbhockeyplayer · Apr 11, 2013

Okay, I've PM'd everyone who had a batch taped together and marked with their name so that the space in the box opens back up for more stuff. It's an additional step for sure, but it didn't seem to make sense to continue to carry these things in the box when they are specifically for other people.

Once I get the addresses...everything will be on the way.

I'll also post up photos of what I took out and what I put in, along with a DC#.

Good work Mike. Looking forward to seeing what you got.

Those items were marked for them to get first dibs but if they didn't want all of them they are to stay it the box for others to possibly take. I Just followed the rules that if we had specific members in mind to mark for them first. But either way guess it will work out. I know I've spent well over $200 in shipping between the 2 threads so I wasn't trying to spend another $30 to send out 6 seperate packages including the flat rate. Plus I was trying to make sure it was full. It was def hard to fit everything in there, I even took out the 3 largest items to make room

rum151man · Apr 11, 2013

I just tried adding stuff for all the members after me and wanted each person to get something from me, as i got stuff with certain members in mind. Thought that was the whole idea was to put stuff specifically off the list of collection wants that was posted.

I guess when they get the separate packages whatever they don't want they can throw back into the box when they get it.

Jeff, I was in no way "busting" on you for the generous inclusions marked for specific people. Not in the slightest so I don't want you to take it that way.

I've packed up the five "specific" lots and those, along with the box just went out. Also, the "bonus" envelopes were obviously sent by me, but marked that they're from Jeff/rum so that there's no confusion.

The USPS tracking number of the box is 9405509699937630273880.

Here are a couple pics...

What the beast looks like when I opened it...chock full of stuff...

Here's what I took out...

Here's most of what I put back in...

I consolidated most of the "loose" cards and plastic boxes with two 550ct or so boxes. Gives a lot more more and some solid structure for the box. It's still a beast and stuffed to the rafters.

no worries, just wanted everyone to get something nice in the box, and whatever they didn't want to add back in, which will still work out. I sent you a separate package too did you get it yet?

Clearly I'm not in on this but I'm subscribed to the thread. Thought I'd say this is really cool. Nice job guys! Great group involved with this.

Looking for Albert Belle cards! PM me!

If still available I'd like to be in:
I only really want pre-1970 cards but have a large amount of cards which can be used to trade -- see the birthday gifts I have given through our bday club.

Who has the box? I got a package from 200 lb. yesterday with cards from Jeff, so the box must have made its way to the next person after Mike by now.

Jeff, man, that's some good stuff!!! I gabe the Orioles cards to my son and he liked them very much. He says thank you! We chatted for a bit about Brooks and Palmer b/c he didn't know who they were. Than you for the Sox/Nats too! Very kind of you!

Hi guys I just got the box I haven't had a chance to even open it yet. Hopefully I will get a chance to open this beast soon, Just as a heads up for the group I won't be able to mail the box back out until Friday the 19th, I work 12 hour shifts Monday- Thursday this week 530 AM to 530 PM so there is just no way I can get to the post office until then. Sorry for the slight delay I was really hoping it wouldn't arrive until later this week when I had more time to get to the post office. However I promise it will go out on Friday. I will take some photos of course of everything that goes in and out. Thanks to Rum151 for the great Ivan rodriguez cards, I will get a scan of those up as well, I'll be sending a small thank you your way.

rum151man · Apr 17, 2013

damn guys I had a mix up I somehow accidently marked [MENTION=2915]spikes[/MENTION] cards with [MENTION=4092]mmier118[/MENTION] name on it and I believe [MENTION=4787]sruchris[/MENTION] somehow got the package that was supposed to be for [MENTION=4092]mmier118[/MENTION]. I only made up packs for the 5 after me so sorry to [MENTION=4787]sruchris[/MENTION] any way you could ship that package to [MENTION=4092]mmier118[/MENTION] and ill send you the shipping cost. please let me know thanks.

[MENTION=4092]mmier118[/MENTION] is going to throw the pack back in the box for [MENTION=2915]spikes[/MENTION] he pm'd me and thought maybe I made a mistake. hope we get it all squared away....... sorry guys

rum151man · Apr 17, 2013
