I am thinking about starting an approval box. How it works. I put together a box of around 200 cards mostly 2000 and up including stars, rookies, and commons. I will send it to a member close to me in Virginia. Everybody who wants in message me. I will include a list of participating members who want in with their address. To keep the cost down each member will mail it to the next closest member on the list. You take which cards you want and put back a smaller amount, same amount or more.value wise.I trust each member. Just make sure the list gets put back in. Eventually it will come back to me here.

P.S. This is an all football box. Also 4 members and counting right now. 

I had one drop out because it is all football. You can add baseball if you want. I don't care just as long as the value took out is replaced. I am thinking about starting another Nolan Ryan and Sosa collection anyway.

The box looks like this one.

That's a pretty cool idea. Sounds like a fun way for each member on the list to mix up their cards a little bit and maybe bump into something they'll really like, including yourself.

Definitely seems like it could be a cool idea!

Interesting... Might join in. Not sure yet.

I would like in. This is a great idea, I have been trying to think of something similar that would facilitate multiple person trades (like the three and four team trades that happen in the NBA , haha).  Anyway, my thought to add to this is when you add cards to the box, you could look at trade matching for the other members still waiting to receive the box, and use that info to help guide your additions.  Actually, sending the box twice around the loop of names would allow everyone to benefit from everyone else (as opposed to the first couple recipients only getting to receive from a few participants).  Maybe put in dividers and try to put a card or two in for each person plus a catch-all section. Just a couple ideas. 

Yeah they have approval companies like  Kenmore why not cards. Believe me when I say there are going to be some good cards starting. I included the one no name insert card I have.

I  agree and need your address. I messaged my friend in Virginia I would add an extra sheet if he wanted to add members he got approval from. He asked if we go down the list in order and I told him to jump around and cut the address from the list and tape it over the other address. They will be in a square 200 card box. 2 weeks and it will be mailed.

I added you from your profile.

Yes my thinking too.
