It does sound like a fun idea and I'm another that would've been willing to participate if it was Baseball or Basketball (since I have my unwanted stuff from those sports handy ) . The only potential "negativity" I saw is something we all think about and that's just how much are we willing to spend on something that may only get us 1/2 cards for our "collections"

Yes I am still getting interest in it. I will wait 2 weeks to see where we are at. Also going to play around with some zip codes to see what it will cost to mail them out of state.So it is still a go in 2 weeks.

I understand that. We are still a go in 2 weeks. I am going to do research on sending the box out of state. Also working on trading for other sports from some of the first members to get it by cross trading football for baseball first. Just as long as the cards put back match the value of the football took out. I am starting to confuse myself.

After thinking this whole thing over how about I pull out 150 cards and start it with 50 football leaving space for other members to add baseball, basketball and racing in amounts of 50. Each member is welcome to cross trade over sports. In the meantime I am going to try to round up some cards from each to go in there. Also I am making sure all my insert cards get in there including Donruss 2021 red and blue cards._____

If you are willing to add someone in Maryland then I'm in.

Box now has 193 inserts and parralels. That is how it is starting out. Good chance to get in on a good deal._

Glad to have you. I have someone in Iowa too. Box leaves here Feb.12th no matter how many we have. Send me your address.

Sounds like an interesting idea, too bad I don't have many football cards.  I would maybe join at a later date though.  If I can make a suggestion.  When you do decide to send it to the first person, can you start a new thread?  In my mind it would would be a cross between the pay it forward thread where the recieving member could thank the one before and acknowledge they got it, and also show off what they kept or put back in (if they choose to).  It could be a fun journey and might get a few more members interested once they see how it works and what they could get.  If others do the same but for other sports, new threads could be created for them as well.

Also just curious, since those who join would be giving and taking cards, couldn't that also help with trading feedback?  I guess you may not know who packed what, but I guess you could give the feedback to the person who sent it to you.  It sounds like a good way for those that don't trade much to build up feedback.  Just a thought.  Hope you go through with it, and maybe I'll dig out the few football cards I have and see if any have value.

When I mail it out with the list of participants the list will have the members id on here. They can work out the feedback. It will have a tracking # when it leaves. I will ask each member to provide the next member and myself a tracking #. That way I know where it is on its journey.

I just want to make one thing clear is if anything is removed it needs to be replaced with the same value or more in cards from the 4 sports. Football, Baseball, Basketball, and racing. I am expecting it to be sent back to me before the member in Utah gets it. Hopefully I can connect the states in between before Feb.12th.

My friend in Virginia who gets it first said he could come up with cards from the other 3 sports. He is a very honest young fellow.

UPDATE: 

I have decided to put this idea on the back burner for a while until I can add some baseball and basketball to it.Some think it will be too expensive to mail across the nation. I feel I am paying more in a month's time sending 4 or 5 cards several times weekly. Going to start proposing big trades only. Here lately I am having to delete trade proposals where the members don't answer back after taking the time to pull the cards on their want lists. These members show to be logging in every day.Those members will be added to my Do Not Bother With list after a week. At least when blocked they will not show up in my trade notifications anymore.
