Now, now -- you had your chance to see for yourself. :

You'll just have to suffer freebee remorse until your turn comes around again...unless someone takes pity.

I would be good for those of us with under 100 posts...

Yes this is my first post, complaining about not having more posts.

I just received the box, I will fully check it out over the weekend, add $$ more value than removed, & ship it out this coming mid week, probably Tues 8/9 or Wed 8/10 . Some interesting stuff in there, I'm probably only going to grab a few singles, the ones shown below & possibly 1 or 2 more.
Suggestion: Unless it's something special, I would recommend people refrain from adding any more decks of paper cards until the bulk goes down.
I may have to remove a paper deck or 2 to get the bulk down/box to close ..

@72o PM me your mailing address *

( Remember any "new" participants wishing to get in, can add themselves to the bottom of the most current list, use the next largest number in the group.. !)

This will be the current list after I ship to 72o:

Haha yes there are a lot of paper cards. It was a hard box to pack back up. I added 2 cpc cardboard boxes to ship the chips easier. Along with an old plastic rack I had laying around.

 

[Blaster]

The box has shipped today to @72o .

Ok guys, I'm going to go ahead and take one of the last two racks of Mapes chips and leave all the Dunes for somebody else, I don't have a set of those so I don't need any. Also the racks of Wynn chips and the couple racks of mint TRKs were very generous, thanks to who ever put those in! I'm not adding much, but I do have a two barrels or so of the over sized Crystal Park $5000s I could part with so they will be in there.











































I have the box and have been slacking, sorry guys, I am always busy and ahve the memory of a gnat, saw the box on my dining room table today and said "Shit...".

Part of the reason I held off on sending it out in the beginning was because I was waiting for some chips from a big trade/sale I did and wanted to throw a couple of those in, that's not going as planned because of the other party (non-member, no "outing" thread to look forward to unfortunately ). I don't think I am going to take anything but I will throw a couple "not very special things" in there and reship, I believe @BGinGA is next so pm your address bud.

Couple things, yeah, this is a hard box to pack, it showed up kind of shredded this last time (not fault of sender obviously) and things got tossed around inside. There are two casualties I found, both the same chips. I am going to repack everything and add one more chip box if I have one, that should tidy up some of the loose chips. Definitely a couple random things in there, seeding the box I'm sure was the intent, but yeah, definitely random. And I will second (third? fourth?) the notion that no more cards are needed.

Damn, I thought I reinforced the hell out of that thing and packed everything up tight, my bad. There are some envelopes of loose chips from somebody now though that I assumed were ok, but probably should have found a way to double pad, my bad.

 

[12thMan]

Bud I'm not sure there's much you could have done, box was "crushed" and I think that loosened everything up. It's bad enough that both boxes will be new, both have lost there "stiffness" because the corners were deformed.


Edit to add: Let me rephrase that; there is nothing you could have done to prevent this, it's just a heavy box and on this leg of it's journey it was not handled nice after it left your control. Nothing spilled out of it, you did your job just fine!! (y) :thumbsup:

Take the paper decks out, I don't think anyone is going to take those.

When I received it, it was in pretty bad shape but no casualties. I reboxed everything with new boxes and taped the heck out of it.

I concur. Those paper decks take up way too much space and I cannot remember the last time any of us played with them.

 

[12thMan]

Might be a good idea to at least lose some of em, that's a good idea. There are a few casino cards that people might want, I'll take out the obvious ones that are common.

Heavy box, hard to fortify it against whatever the hell it goes through out there. I imagine that every third or fourth person will just have to grab a couple boxes and redo it, I don't see USPS suddenly not using it like a bowling ball anytime soon.

[David O]

So where is the box? Updated anyone?

 

[12thMan]

Shipping out to BG tomorrow.

I agree now! lol but FYP
"And have the memory of a............. oops.........Wait! Squirrel!

Just had to mess with you but I guess your glad I reminded you?

 

[Mr. Cheese]

I totally forgot about this. I've got a few things to put in that will be perfect when it comes to me.

[liftapint]

This can't possibly still be in Seattle with @12thMan, can it?

This box is just flying along!

 

[12thMan]

Nope, it is in Georgia after my slacking, I'm sure BG is packing it up with nice things and it won't take as long as I had it. Its a tough box to pack once it's opened, I'm sure he's going to do it right.

I didn't take anything but added

Spoiler

a high hand plaque from the Silver Club and three sample swatches of speed cloth, mini speed cloth, and regular felt (i think) from YAT.

I cleaned out the broken chips and tried to pack everything better, hope it makes it ok from here on out.
