I think I need some type of medication

lawnmowerman · February 5, 2008 11:18AM

We had our mail held while we were on vacation in Gatlinberg. We have been home 12 days already and I have a stack of mailers to open. The crazy part about it is, I have no desire to rip them! I just took this pic a minute ago.

What's wrong with me?? Anybody else ever get like this?

Guru · February 5, 2008 11:21AM

Ummm....no Matt. I think it's just you buddy. LOL

bluemarlin · February 5, 2008 11:28AM

Wow,I counted like 21 mailers there

That should keep you busy for a bit.

Holy crap Matt.

Is that all ebay stuff?

I've never bought that much stuff...

And yes, sometimes I've bought stuff and realized I didn't really need it and just stared at the unopened packages and said: "I'll get to this later..."

Doesn't happen often tho - wish I had a few T3s comin in!

Thanx for sharing - as long as ya started here - why not show what's in them?

Matt , now is the great time to teach the young ones the joy of ripping some mail open . If you go ape crap after each one is opened, they will remember it, long from this day.

By the way , did you go up to Clingman's Dome ? It had to be very cold up there . I used to go to the smokies, twice a year, mainly to the Mt. LeConte lodge . I used to love taking the Blue Ridge Parkway , and then Skyline Drive home.

Ever since Emmitt washed a giant 10 foot pan, Lawnmower has been this way. C'mon cheer up Matt.

lawnmowerman · February 5, 2008 11:37AM

They sure are Mike. Two are from a couple board members that I knew were sending me some stuff. The rest are from Ebay.

Maybe I'm going through "cardopause"? I dunno.

That is a god idea about posting the contents. I kinda makes me wanna rip them now

<< ummm...isnt it illegal to have one of those usps carriers? >>

If it is, I better tell the mailman that left it with me.

i have several-bring on the stamp police!!!!!!

just try and get my carriers

Leiascards · February 5, 2008 11:59AM

I was given one of those carriers by the USPS.. It is only illegal to have it if you are using it for other purposes than delivering mail to the PO. Since this is technically holding mail it would not be illegal. Although mine is holding a bunch of my wifes college books now..SHHHHHHHH

On that note I did witness a postal inspector confiscate several as well as several misused priority boxes at a flea market in Georgia a few years back. They were being used to store items for sale.

gotsparks09 · February 5, 2008 12:02PM

<< ummm...isnt it illegal to have one of those usps carriers? >>

I tried to return one at the PO one time and they said, "Don't you just want to keep it?"

edited to add: I go through the "I don't feel like opening anything today" moods every so often, too. I've got a stack at home waiting to be ripped, too...although not as many as you have.

rube26105 · February 5, 2008 12:08PM

70chip · February 5, 2008 12:16PM

Matt, take one of these and get busting.....it will give you the stamina to get through 21 bubble mailers and then some.....(Hint Mrs. Lawnmowerman)

AnkurJ · February 5, 2008 1:04PM

I got 8 packages today! All of them were Upper Deck redemptions!

Got one via fed ex that had a wrong address on it. Luckily the Fed Ex guy knows me, and he bought it to my house. (Kevin Durant auto was inside)

1996 Action Packed metal card. I almost broke my scanner glass when I dropped it on it

TheMcgwireMuseum · February 5, 2008 1:23PM

That 1997 playoff contenders card is gorgeous! That 1992 King B disc should grade VERY well

lawnmowerman · February 5, 2008 1:27PM

<< That 1997 playoff contenders card is gorgeous! >>

Yeah, I looked it over. I don't get the bgs grade. I really think it could be a 10

lawnmowerman · February 5, 2008 1:28PM

1996 Pro Flick. It's a mini card but would have to go in the slabs for thick cards.

lawnmowerman · February 5, 2008 2:06PM

1996 Pacific jumbo

lawnmowerman · February 5, 2008 2:11PM

Now this card is really nice Matt - I've seen them on occasion - and that one looks especially nice.

And the 74T pack is incredible! Very generous of Manny! Good luck. Since it's all series - show me the Winfield!
