I probably should have thrown them out with the base cards, but maybe someone would want it.

One of the Minnesota prospects I picked out last year from the box finally made it to AA and I got signed last homestand so that's pretty cool. It was an Andrew Morris Donruss EEE card. He is only in 2 sets, EEE and Prizm draft.

Ok guys.... so I pulled a little bit of an audible on this box. I got a new large flat rate box, but even after using my best Tetris skills, there was no damn way I was getting those some boxes back into another flat rate box. Sooooo, I have upgraded the box to a sturdey 12x12x10 box. While I only added additional cards to the smaller boxes inside(and an auto hof football photo) there is now more room to add stuff!
As a bonus, it appears that if you keep it under 20lbs, the cost to ship is about half of the cost of large flat rate! Priority says 2 days and ground advantage is 3. Priority usually takes 2-3 days for me in the middle of the country. I apologize for making this move without consulting anyone, but I was getting so p*ssed trying to get everything back int he box I just about chucked it out the window! Anyhow, it's on it's way tomorrow to FTLFTL! |

1. Camden2010 2. kdog4187 3. JustRachel seemed to suggest they wanted in but I'm not sure. 4. Buford I'll send some DMs when I'm ready to ship it back out to get addresses and the kind of stuff you'd like so I can customize it to an extent. I have a few boxes of "stuff that's cool but either duplicates or stuff I don't collect", so I'll try to get as much in the box as I can.

I've gone thought it, removed some stuff, and added some stuff. I'll post pictures on Monday, as it's too nice out to be inside. Have a good weekend!

OKAY! Finally got around to posting. There was some cool stuff and below is most of what I took. The first picture is of the two graded cards I took (Shaq & a Tatis Jr), plus the Deadpool card that's like the infamous Billy Ripken 1989 Fleer card (which I have). I also have the Simpsons take on that, so it will go nicely.
Second, some modern basketball (love the Grimes card), plus a great Andruw Jones card. Third, the only Griffey in the box, two Bo Jacksons (don't think that's a real auto), a Mattingly for my cousin, and some Mets. I replaced it with a bunch of stuff, including a lot more Griffeys and some Bo Jackson cards that I think collectors will like (lots of /numbered and other similar things). Camden - I'll send you a PM when I drop it off at the post office, which will likely be Friday.

OH man, what a bunch of pickups. I'd have loved that Deadpool, those Bo's and that Piazza might have been mine too!
Whoever put those in there is a beauty.

Hey guys (and gals) I received the box today in the mail. This thing is huge it must weigh every bit of 30 pounds!!! I opened it and while I haven't had a chance to go through the individual boxes yet this box is insanely weird (In all the best possible ways)!!! I didn't expect to see the crazy mix of non card memorabilia in the box... I spent a good hour just looking at that stuff tonight. I am hoping to go through the rest over the next 2 days and ship it on it's way on Thursday... That said I am not exactly sure where I am sending her off to? I don't have a follow up address yet... In any event Once I go through the whole thing I will post an update with some pics of what I took (hopefully I am NOT very techy but I will try!!!) Have a great night everyone.

To all the new people to the thread, welcome!! Please make sure if you're looking to join you fully understand what is expected. This is an awesome idea started years ago by Corbin and continued and maintained by him and a few other people on the thread. The lack of photos from people taking from the box is quite upsetting, as that is the enjoyment we all get from the sharing of the box, so if you're not planning to post photos of what you enjoyed and grabbed from the box, please don't participate.
