Art Posted July 30, 2010 Report Share Posted July 30, 2010 ANNOUNCING ------ CoinPeople Short Snorter 2010 ------ Post your name here if you want to participate. Pick out a great note and be ready to mail it to me quickly. I'm planning to mail the package of notes to the second signer on September 1,2010.

Things do get lost.-Each participant agrees to hold the notes for no more than 2 days. -Each participant agrees to send the notes to the next person on the list via USPS Priority Mail - Insured (or the European, Canadian, whatever, equivalent) -The parcel is to be insured for $50.00 US -Participants will post in the tracking thread when they received the notes and when they send them on to the next person -Notes may be contained in a protective sleeve.-Notes must be a size that allows note and any protective sleeve to fit in a business letter envelope. (#10)-Each person is responsible to handle the notes carefully to avoid damage and or loss.-One note allowed per CoinPeople id. OK enough rules. Let's go. Signup here.

MauMauNotes Posted July 31, 2010 Report Share Posted July 31, 2010 it sounds cool so 1 : i send you a cheap-random note and i sign it (MauMauNotes) 2 : you collect every note that is sent to you (5-10-15), you sign them 3 : you send the group of notes to one person, the first of a list (and that person sends it to the following person of the list), everybody signs each notes 4 : all the notes go back to you ? (not worried, just understanding , and you keep it or send each note to the first main owner ? (it doesnt matter!) i might take part but 1) i'm always a bit scared with mailing stuff (im in a foreign country : Finland, they have a good and safe mail system, but i don't know if i use the right service and or if it happens that i lose everything (black cat story!) 2) i'm unable to receive or send between 18 and 29 August 2010 (not in the city where i live, and getting married) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll have ample opportunity to send a note before your blackout period. The package of notes won't get to you for signatures until sometime later in the year. These things are always subject to lots of delays. It's fun and you get a great keepsake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted October 8, 2010 Report Share Posted October 8, 2010 Wow! Thanks again for managing all this Art! It seems to be harder and harder to get people to participate, which is too bad because it's really kind'a fun, and builds a little more comraderie among us. Anyway, I'm glad it all worked out and this will go in a place of honor with my other Coin People Short Snorters! Once again Art - Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
