Post Office Boxes and Jane Ingram

crito

Hope this is the right forum.

Looking for source to purchase Jane Ingram's Guidebook of U.S.P.S. P.O. Boxes, or something like that. Have seen the first edition, which is crudely printed, and heard there's a second ed (from description in an ebay auction.) Googled my brains out to no avail. TIA for any info.

Not the right forum, but good luck.

A guide for USPS P.O. boxes? Is that like a phone book?

They're the doors from old post office boxes. People have been making them into "piggy" banks for decades, but apparently there's now a fairly active market for them as collectibles. Some examples from ebay:

Like Mark said, wrong forum, but neat stuff.

Yeah, sorry about that. I was thinking non sports cards as everything not sports card related... "pretty broad range of topics", I thought. I realize now it's for cards that aren't sports related. BTW, I used to have a complete set of Battlestar Gallactica trading cards... all three series if I recall corectly, blue, red and yellow (I think.) Wonder what they'd be worth today if I hadn't given them away.

Oh, I reposted p.o. box topic here. Anyone interested gets to see pics of my latest acquisition: a circa 1902 post office box.
