This idea popped into my head last night when I opened the mail for my last trade. The cards were wrapped in a heavier stock paper for added protection, but it was the paper I originally used for this trade! I was thinking about printing a sheet that can be reused for your next trade. Just sign your username along with your city and state, then use it for your next trade. It would be like wheresgeorge, just not with money. Keep passing the sheet to the next trader! Imagine the miles that sheet would amass!

I like the idea! I've been involved in similar things over the years (not counting the Where's George thing). On Beckett, we had a "Where is Gore" thing going where a Frank Gore card was going around to different members. Whoever received it picked who to send it to next. That card crossed the country several times and went went north of the border a couple of times. It eventually petered out but was fun while it lasted. In my family, we had a "gift-box repack" going on for a while too. Everyone using a box to package a birthday or Christmas gift would write their name and the month/day inside the box. Then we would see how many times it got used. That practice died as the amount of children in the family went up. Kids destroy a box, even when there are clothes inside!
As for "Where's George?", I really hate that so many lost interest in doing it. That was pretty fun until the hits became few and far between. I never stamped any bills, but I always logged the ones I received. It's been probably 2 years since I have seen one though.

A custom trading card. I can alter the front and back of Admin's 2017 C2Cigars Business Card Trading Card to this:

Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.

Cool idea with the card but how do you get these out to the members? You would have to do a lot of trading.

Sounds fun. Maybe the last person who gets it can scan it on here so everybody can see where it went?

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff. Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

No you aren't! If you are IN, then I am OUT! Finish cleaning up your mess with the multiple usernames and then talk to the rest of us!
Why do you keep jumping into other threads without cleaning up your own threads - from you OR about you?!
Fix it or forget it! I'm talking about your reputation and your trading possibilities here.

I'm with Spaz. lcp, you seem to be spending a lot of time doing things that aren't fixing the mess you're in. And please, if you're going to submit scans:
- They need to be scans, not photos
- They need to be straight
- They need to be in focus
- They need to be out tof the top loaders and sleeves
99% of what you've submitted needs to be rejected.
Honestly, so far, you've been more of a problem than a help. This site is run by members who help each other and attempt to do the right thing. This is my final attempt to HELP you. I asked you before how you were doing to fix your messes. I left you alone so you could get it together.
Now, get it together!
