Okay.....Not the National Transportation Safety Board.....
We've got 1930's and 1950's boxes floating around.........
Lots of us like a little older stuff, so........

Been thinking about a box of stuff to include:

N cards - 19th Century Tobacco
T cards - 20th Century Tobacco
S cards - Silks
B cards - Blankets
L cards - Leathers

Since I've collected these for a LONG time, I'll be glad to start off the box with 50 cards from the areas above. Like has been said on some of the other threads, I'm going to try to put VG to VGEX cards in there--relatively clean stuff. I'm just posting here to gauge interest in this, so post here if you wanna join the fracas. Can't have too many boxes floating around out there, huh?

David Goff
Bob Forbes

Chuck Millburn

Jon Hardgrove
Bob Lamb

I'd certainly be interested in a box with the various tobacco issues. Any chance of us starting boxes with local beers or maybe cigars? (Wink! Wink! Nudge! Nudge!)

I'll play!

Local beers sound good, but shipping may be a killer.
So, when you assemble 50, I will pick them up personally.
And after appropriate sampling, bring the remainder to my house,
add to it, and await the arrival of the next person on the list.

is that a yes or no?

I would like to do the 19th tobacco card box...

I have sufficient pre-1930 t-cards for one round, Tom. So yes, please include me on your list. And once I see what the cards look like in person, hoo nose what could follow.

So in summary: yes, yes, please include me in your most excellent adventure!

Tom:

Count me in.

Bob

Please add me to the list.

Sign me up!!!

Add me to the list.

Just wondering, have I been added to the list.

once - for the greater good. I will be putting some in - no desire to take any out. Not sure how it works - but perhaps after everyone what's interested has what they wants - we can do an eBay auction for a charity with what's left. If needed I would do the listing. Whatever...............

some emails to participants to email me their addresses privately and I was going to put a list of participant's addresses in the box to hopefully speed up the process a little.

I'm also going to include E's in the NTSB&L, so it's now the NTSB&LE box, or I could go with BLENTS to make some sort of word...............

Anyway..........I have 42/50 of the cards together and will have the box out to Bob Kuhl by Wednesday this week. I have Bob's address from the 1930's box trips, so I'll be using that. The box composition, at the 42/50 is about 60% 'N' cards, with the rest being T's, S's, L's pretty even. There may be a couple B's in there but otherwise, there will be the rest in E's. SO...........it is what it is and it'll be out UPS by Wednesday.

Thanks for the participation of the group. We can always add more people down the road if anyone wants to participate but it'll be especially easy to add you before Wednesday if you want to be added. Email me your address prior to then and I'll include it inside the box.

Thanks!
Tom

is FINALLY on the way! I sent it out today to Bob Kuhl. It'll probably be to Bob by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest. Inside is a paper with all the addresses of the participants minus one that I didn't have. That should keep it flowing pretty quickly. Hope everyone enjoys it as much as the 1930's and 1950's box.

Would have been out sooner but we got hit with Hurricane Ike here WAY up in Kentucky on Sunday and had about 300K people without electricity. Ours was only out a couple days but it's still a mess up here............

Got the box today and pulled a few and replaced a few. It's already repacked for Todd. I should get it out tomorrow. I'm not too far from you Todd, so you should get it pretty quickly.

Tom - please place my name on the list.

Jon.

I shipped the box out today to Todd. Thanks again!

I got the box yesterday. Who put that "Marquis of Lorne" card in there? I was going to take that one but it was too high a grade. It wouldn't go with the rest of my tobacco collection. Anyway, lots of fun stuff in there. I swapped out about a dozen or so and will throw in a few extras. I will ship it off tomorrow.

Box enroute to Dave Goff.

Cool..

Got the box today. Don't know if I'll take any this time around, but I will put a couple in...

Bob, I will ship the box out on Monday...David

Can I be added to the list also....Bob

Bob........

Where is the box??? Looks like it stopped moving???

Sorry..i should have posted this on Monday. The package was returned to me this past Monday. Somehow, the shipping label was unreadable by the Post Office. The label got wet and smeared. The cards are fine no damage to them. I sent the box back out this morning. Sorry about all this...

David

Anyone have an update on this box???

I was out of town for a while and the box stalled waiting for me to return. I am back now and will turn it around quickly.

Cards are on their way to Chuck.

Jerry, Your address is not on the list. I'll get the box in the mail as soon as I get it from you. Thanks.

Can I get on the list?

Thanks--Jay Miller

with the caveat that the only thing you can put in are dupe Kalamazoo Bats baseball..............

I have been collecting tobacco items for more than 15 years and would like to join. Am I right in understanding that you receive the box, take out the items you want and replace with tobacco items of similar quality? Any limit on how many you swap?
Thanks,
Robert Baum
Nashville

yep..........box comes to you, open it, take out what you want and put at least in the same amount of cards or a couple extra if you want to. Once it makes the rounds, we'll probably recirculate it again. There are similar 1930's and 1950's boxes floating around out there. Has proven to be kind of cool so far. Glad to have you on board....................

No response from Jerry H. - should I send to next on list or wait longer.

I mailed the box to Henry Moses today.

and is being mailed to Jon today I put 30+ in - took 1 out..... My name is Mr. M. and I'm an addict. There. I feel better. I resisted taking the small Northwestern with basketball - and it's presence guilted me into putting a couple better but softer cards in. Long live the box!

(edited to add I wasn't bragging in any way about what I left - it appears most people were WAYYYYY more generous than I)

Bump for Jon H.

Jim - thanks for the "bump". I looked longer for the thread than I spent going through the box! Guess I am still "computer challanged!

Bob Lamb - just sent you an email asking for your address. Will send the box as soon as I hear from you.

Jon Hardgrove.

Mailed to Bob this morning (26 December 2008).

This should not be construed as a complaint, rather as information for future shippings by others. Since Bob had a p.o. box, I mailed the box. UPS would have been less by $4.20; and (MOO), much better service. If a complete address is given, the shipper can make the determination.

Jon.

Just curious to where the box is currently. Just want to make sure I didn't miss it if it was mailed to my house. There has not been a post for a few months, so I thougth I'd give it a bump.

Thanks
Dave

I wanted to give this a bump since nobody responded to my last post.

Thanks
Dave

Thanks for the bump.............
I'm now in possession of it in the last week or so since Robert Baum didn't respond. It came to me from Marty Krim. I'll be refurbing it a little and sending it back out according to this list. If ANYONE wants to be added or removed, please let me know or post in this post. It'll go out by the end of the week to Bob Kuhl at the latest.........
It's well over the 50 cards it started with approaching 100 or more I'm sure. Condition has dipped a little bit on it from the VG to VGEX it started with.

Sorry I didn't turn sooner Bob......

Anyway, I'll rehab it tonite and tomorrow and it'll go out to Bob no later than Wednesday......................

Anyone else want to join, please advise..........

Is the box still circulating???

I'm still waiting on it, also haven't heard much about the 1930s box of late either.

I just got the T-card box yesterday. However, the handy dandy address list wasn't in it. Whoever is next, please email me and I'll get the box on its way.

Has anyone heard from Gil Maines lately? I tried emailing him but got no response.

Looks like Todd Riley is up......

from when I said I would send it. I'll send you Todd Riley's address via email if I have it...............

Email sent....

Shot an email to Gil to check-in, and it bounced.
This doesn't sound good (part about user account 'overquota', suggests inbox filled up to overflowing and not being checked):

===========================

I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

:
207.69.189.44 does not like recipient.
Remote host said: 550 identify7@peoplepc.com...User account is overquota
Giving up on 207.69.189.44.

============================

Box is ready to go to the next person.

Looks like:

Gil Maines
then
David Goff

Since nobody has heard from Gil My guess is it goes to David. If that is correct - David send me your mailing address.

a little O/T

Does anybody have a direct line to Gil? Does anybody on the board have info?

I and a couple others asked about him in other threads..and zero.

If we are to look after our Non Sport Brothers on this board...it would be nice to get to the bottom of this one.

I enjoyed Gil's posts.

Charlie if you find out about Gil let me know. I owe him a few cards.

His name came up on the baseball board yesterday. I emailed him and it bounced back. Mailer-Daemon said his "User account is overquota."

Someone else said he'd been posting on the Full Count boards recently. I checked and he has not posted there since May 15th. Two months seems like a long time for one of us "addicts" to be MIA.

I hope everything is all right. Anyone have a phone number to call him? I thought I did, but it turns out I'm less organized than I thought.

I never seem to remember - please remove me from the list. Not that I don't want to play with you'se guys - I put as much as I could in the last box - and I'm not collecting much in this area anymore. It just means the box will get to interested parties even faster than before.........

I have the package ready for shipment, but I didn't get the mailing list inside the box. Bob Forbes is next in line, so Bob if you could email me your address, I will get the box moving...

Thanks
Dave

Are we still doing this????

David said he was mailing it to me, but it hasn't arrived yet. I'll let everyone know when it does & when I send it to the next one on the list.

Bob

The box arrived a week or two ago, but without the list of names. I think Alan Miley is next to get it after me. It's been pretty gutted - I'm in the process of re-stocking it to give it some new life. I'll try to get it out after Christmas to Alan (unless someone else knows who is next?)

Count me in.
Robert Baum

Bob,

I believe I am next. Thanks for restocking.

I am disappointed to hear that it has been gutted. I believe for this to work best, people should put in a little more value than they take out. I will try to give it an additional boost.

I think I'm after you Alan - I'll also try to improve the contents.
