Mail Time! #7
Don’t worry. I have more than pocket schedules today.
I got two envelopes in the mail today.
The first one is from the Fredrick Keys, the High-A Affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles
Inside, there were two pocket schedules
The second envelope was from the Buffalo Bills (NFL)
I first pulled out a team photo
Then, a game day magazine
I then found a mini license plate
Followed by a matte photo of Tyler Thigpen
The final item I pulled out was a magnetic schedule
Wow! This was all pretty cool.
Today, I also sent out 3 large envelopes, 2 postcards, and a business envelopes, all for Fan Pack or pocket schedule requests. Last week, I sent out 9 postal requests.
I hope you are enjoying these entries! My goal in writing them is to give you a look as to what teams are sending things and what things those teams are sending. As always, whenever I get something in the mail, I will have an entry up later that day, so continually check back for more posts, as I will try to post a frequently as I can in the offseason.
That leads me into my next question. Do you like it when I post frequently? I know I like to get entries up as much as possible. Do you enjoy reading posts often? If so, let me know! If not, tell me what you think I should do differently. I have a few entries that I plan on posting in the near future, so keep posted.

That’s cool, how long did the bills package take?

It took about a week or so for the envelope to show up.

I’ve read all of the posts/entries/whatever you want to call them. If you can keep it up, go for it; just don’t post for the sake of posting.

Thank You for your feedback! I was thinking about it, and I was thinking the same thing as you. Every 2-4 fan packs, I’ll try to post an entry, and I want to also blog about some baseball collections that I have, so I want to post frequently, but it is important for them to have meaning, I don’t want to post just for the sake of posting.

I just received the bills package,and it has some diffrent stuff than yours. I didn’t get the mini license plate or the team photo, but I got two photos instead of one. And the photos were of Stevie Johnson and CJ Spiller. Both the packages ware cool, but I think I like yours because of the mini license plate.

I find it interesting that you got a different package than I did. It’s pretty cool you got two player photos. You could probably get them signed if you wanted.

I remember the Bills one I got a couple years ago had one of those ticket lanyard things along with a player photo and schedules

That’s neat! I love ticket lanyards! I wonder why they always send different things. It’s cool that they can do that.
