(Mods: If this should be somewhere else, please move it. I couldn't find anywhere obvious...)
One of my favorite things ever on CT was the circulating Grab Box. I have no idea where it ended up, but I thought it was fun.
So while going through and unboxing my collection, it occurred to me that we could re-start it here.
For those unfamiliar: We fill a box with everyone's extra poker goodies -- chips, cards, buttons, card guards, whatever, related to poker chips and home games. The box gets circulated among PCF members with more than, say, 100 posts. When you get the box, you take out what you want, and re-fill with whatever you can spare of comparable interest or value, re-pack it, and then pay the postage to forward the large FRB box on to the next PCFer on the list.
How I propose to start it:
- I'll be finding a hard case or box that will fit inside a large USPS flat rate box, and contributing toward the initial contents.
- PCFers interested in participating should send me whatever goodies or oddities you're willing to contribute toward the project. I'd suggest a minimum value of, say, $10. Include your PCF name with your package!
- In return for your contribution, I'll put your name on the initial list of recipients in post two of this thread, in order of receipt of your contributions.
- Once the box begins making the rounds, anyone else who wants to be added to the list can just shoot me a pm.
-While the box is making the rounds, each time someone receives and re-ships the box, your name will be re-added to the bottom of the list, unless you opt out of the list.
- I'm afraid this will have to be restricted to US addresses only, because of shipping considerations. But there's nothing to stop PCFers outside the US from starting something similar in their own regions or countries.
- The cut-off for initial contributions will be Saturday, April 30. That's 2-1/2 weeks --should be enough, no? I'll start the box on its way to the first recipient the following Monday.
- Discussion and pics can be posted here!
Anyone interested? Any suggestions for points I've overlooked?
Ship some goodies (without signature required) to:

Thanks for participating!
