Hello All!
I have reset this thread because the other was so long and large, I think even the ladies were scared to look at it and try to figure out to handle it all!
For anyone on FCB who has been sleeping in a cave for the past year, I'd like to introduce Box O' Goodies 4.0 to you! It consists of a medium flat rate USPS box that will be sent around to a group of FCB members who would like to build up their collection and contribute to what I hope is a long time running project on FCB! I hope to ship this box off with the start of the baseball season (early April) or sooner.
Here is how this is going to work:
I'd like a list of 10 people who would like to participate in this round. I will try to set the box up with stuff that the 10 participants collect. I will then send it to someone on the list (probably the person who lives closest to me) and I will set up a travel map for the box, such that it makes its way to each and everyone of the 10 participants in a timely manner (probably a circular pattern around the USA, dependent on the participants - it will not be set up so that it is making trips back and forth from the east coast to the west coast).
Your job as a participant is simple:
1) Take what you want from the box.
2) Add content to the box that makes the box BETTER than it was when it got to you.
3) Try to think of those coming after you when you fill the box and include what you can that you think they will like.
RULES:
1) Be timely! Don't keep the box for more than 48 hours in your possession. That should be PLENTY of time to go through and pull stuff out. Think ahead and have what you are going to add to the box ready to go before you even get it. This should allow the box to do the full circuit in a couple of months.
2) Don't be greedy - give more than you take.
3) Feel free to add a "for user id" on stuff that you want to go specifically to someone. Please be respectful of this and don't take something that says it is specifically for someone else.
4) 500 posts and/or 1 year FCB membership to participate.
5) You have $11.95-$16.85 at your disposal to ship the box off to the next person (it may be a large flat rate by the time you get it).
6) Follow the shipping map!!! Don't send it off to anyone other than the person next on the list after you, which I will finalize and post here in this thread.
7) No base cards. I repeat, do NOT put base cards in the box! Only exception to this is vintage cards (70's or older) that are NOT beat to hell.
8) Post in this thread what you remove and what you add to the box along the way so others can share in your excitement!
Post in here that you are interested and then send me a PM with the following:
Your Name
Your Address
Your Phone Number
What you Collect
3 Favorite Players
2 Favorite Teams
Anything else you are interested in receiving.
This will allow me to pick some participants and keep the overlap to a minimum. I'd like to keep it baseball related or at least dominated. But feel free to add a few other sports and items that are specific for participants you know will appreciate them. I hope we can all have fun with this!
If you have some items that you would like to contribute to the box to get it started, you can send them to me and I will add them. There have been many generous members here who have helped to get the box started with each round we have done this. It got built up nicely, but declined a bit on the last round so we need some help rebuilding. I have added a bunch of game used and autos to get the rebuild going and look to you to contribute as well! Thank you to rum151man for sending a bunch of vintage autos as well to help get it going again.
Questions? Fire away!
