Race to Thanksgiving 1989 Topps Project>>>>>>

[MansGame]

Got a weird RTS today from Jim Walewander.
Actually, I received my SASE back, so I thought I finally got a return, until I flipped it over and this was written on the back...
View attachment 24599

So they must have got it, opened it, saw what was in there, repacked it all into the SASE and sent it back. Why not just write that on the original envelope? Why waste a good SASE? And technically isn't that mail fraud? Whomever it was opened his mail, before deciding to send it back. I don't get it.

I got a similar note from my Pete Rose mailing.

Anyways.....

Put another shrimp on the bar-b...

Got number 26 recently. Hoping one or two more creep in before Thanksgiving.

 

[MansGame]

Good bump. I got another in too. I'll post it up tonight.

Every day I go to my mailbox hoping, every day I come home disappointed...(and in case you were wondering, yes, my mailbox is not at my house)

Hey everyone. I want to apologize for taking so long to post again. I have a few more successes to share. Between work, health (everything is fine, just my wife and I both got ill), and finding out my wife is pregnant, life has been busy. :lol:

I work retail, so 4th quarter eats up a lot of my free time. I am fine with whatever everyone else wants to do next round. I would like to do 1987 Topps or Donruss. I've always been a big fan of 1987 Donruss. I don't know why, but I love the look. 1988 Donruss or Fleer would be nice as well.

I'm hoping a couple more may come in before Thursday. I think I could have done better if I hadn't got a late start on this. I am looking forward to whatever we do on the next round. [MENTION=3275]Lancemountain[/MENTION] if I can help with the next round in any way please let me know.

The 1993 Upper Deck Heroes of Baseball might be fun to do, with each person paying to split the box. I would be out on this, as I did this a few years ago and the cards look great autographed. Just a suggestion.

What was the final score here?

I would be up for another if we got some guys to split the box... That might make them want to participate.

Would be fun to layer in bonus points... Like if they write your name on the card it's +1 more or if they inscribe it with something it's +2 haha

I am hoping I get at least one or two more in. I would like to at least tie up with Danny. LOL

I'm pretty sure the USPS is doing the holding I'll get a flood of returns starting in December, right after the contest ends...

Or I could just be a conspiracy theorist

 

[Lancemountain]

yeah I have some I'm still hoping for

 

[BenG76]

I still have 22 out that I am waiting on. At least a few of them are decent signers.

 

[muskiesfan]

Today's the day since the mail doesn't run tomorrow. Hopefully we all get some returns today!

Like with the start to this competition, I'm on vacation and won't be back in a week. Odds are I won't have any waiting for me but never know

It looks like me and dano7 both got 26. With my luck I will have a bunch come in over the next few days. This was fun. I look forward to doing another round whatever we decide to do.

That's the final score! I think I got them all! Good job guys, really disappointed with my successes. I really thought I'd be about 55. Oh well, good job guys!

 

[Lancemountain]

So for next round I am thinking maybe the 1976 SSPC set? There are 630 cards, I'll shuffle them on camera and team bag them up? Start it around Christmas and race till Easter. That'll give us ST.

If you don't knnow what SSPC cards are, you are in for a treat lol http://www.baseballcardpedia.com/index.php/SSPC

1990 Fleer is a nice choice as Ben said. I can get rack packs cheap, maybe we each start with 5 or so rack packs?

thoughts? I think the SSPC would be a great time
