I feel silly, and bad. Silly that I went to the post office and wasted some people's time when two stamps would've been sufficient, as I had guessed. Sad that I forgot to put in the money I'd planned to put in to help you out, Lesurgo. There's even a note in there explaining that was what the money was for - but no money. So it'll probably look like someone stole money out of the envelope now. Yeah.
But it's in the mail now. 3-5 days, I think. Yay for making the deadline!
Hints! A set of five cards, plus an additional card I threw in to make it seem like a good gift. No one in their right mind would play two of them, one of the six is very good, another is banned/restricted everywhere. The last two are probably playable in the right deck... but then, maybe not. Four are artifacts. One the six is worth $10+ and the others don't reach $5. Oh, and I signed one of them different from the others (yes, for a reason).
Orginally I was going to send 3 cards. One of each rarity all of them from Lorwyn. Then I felt abit cheap after reading this thread so I threw in a couple older cards I used to love playing with. I'm going to send them tomorrow and I hope they get there in time.
I've finished my 30 cards. I didn't overdo it or anything though: they're mainly stocking stuffers in relation to what everyone else did. I can't draw or write very well, but I did get to (poorly) use some writing tools that I seldom touch.
Itinerant Soldiers showed up today. Fantastic! Hopefully more will come tomorrow. It was fun to look through his cards.
I was in a rush to get to work, though, so they didn't get sleeved. But, as they were, I was afraid of the pen rubbing off in the sleeve. They are in an envelope, and then in a more rigid cardboard international post sleeve thing.
mine aint gonna get from maine to washington...iknow i didnt pay enough postage....
i only payed like 35 cents its gonna get returned today...i know it how much should iput on itwhen it gets back?
I'm going to participate in this if I could defeat our post office in unfair fight ^^U
And I hope it won't be too late if I send them at Monday (it will be day here, but night in US ** ). I don't know what I will be sending, but it will probably be in Russian - hope someone will find it useful **
//By the way, I have no idea how much stamps I need to send. Any idea how many stamps you need to send a letter from US to Russia?

One toploader with 1 card is usually 41 cents, and another card and its safe to say it goes up to 58 cents. After that each two toploaders should add another 17 cents. When you go past 3 toploaders I would suggest stepping up to a padded envelope and at that point, two 41 cent stamps should be enough.

I put two cards to a sleeve (back-to-back), then each sleeve in a toploader and taped the toploaders together, totaling three toploaders, and it cost 58 cents.

My anecdotal evidence disagrees with yours! EXPLAIN THAT!

Sounds right, I also fold a sort of, inner envelope, that I tape the toploaders to then tape shut which goes inside the regular envelope that I send. I do that to help avoid any of my trades from getting stuck in the sorting machine but I'm sure it adds noticeable wieght.
I sent my cards out today, can't wait to see who got them.

I mailed off mine today as well. Went down to the post office and got a couple envelopes. One that has padding in it and another to put into that envelope. I then put stamps on both envelopes and sent them. Now for the hints.
A card of love
A card of butterflies
A card of royalty
A card or two of the tempter of Eve
I hope that mine will make it, I forgot to send them out until just now, and I probably missed the last pickup for today (so it won't be sent from the PO until Monday). Dang I'm pissed at myself.
Edit: Yay, made it to an actual pickup today at the post office. The collector guy was emptying the box when I got there, so I was able to drop it right in the actual bin, meaning that they will process it today. Hopefully it will make it cross-country in 4 days (I've seen packages in 2 cross-country in normal mail, so its possible).
Okay, me and my good friend brainstormed some ideas about cards and I painted them today. They look silly in some places, but I really enjoy some of them. At the very least, I'd be very happy if I could get them ^^
Now, what I got:
Vicious vivisector at work
Some hot Simic stuff
Russian president with really long name
Ancient god and his victims
Spooky token with language-specific pun
One and only Flame Haze in Magic history
Some bonus stuff which isn't quite belong to Magic ~___^
And yes, all these cards are in Russian. I hope you'll enjoy them ^^ I'll try to post them this Monday, or maybe even tomorrow...
Package was sent out today, and it will be processed/delivered today. I think. Let's hope it gets there!
Same here.
I didn't a pretty bad art job, but the subject material should be worth a laugh (or six).
Also, I wanted to put in a few bucks, but my mother told me it was a bad idea. I could send you a check, Lesurgo...if you would like one for $5.
But it's in the mail now. 3-5 days, I think. Yay for making the deadline!

I already sent out, so what's done is done, I guess. <_<

This is great!

So it should be fine.
I paid $12 for shipping, this better be worth it.
