An Idea for your "unwanted" Mystery Box items: Send them to our Troops in harm's way!

First and foremost - much appreciation to the 10c, SLH and his elves for such a cool treat with the Mystery Boxes. I've really enjoyed both the anticipation of opening mine and more; seeing what everyone else received. Thank you 10c!

We got so many items in our mystery boxes that it's possible a few won't be wanted and that's ok because I got an idea! There's going to be lots of items you will want to keep, want to trade or even sell. Some items though may never find a home. I already have The Tres Mtns and Brad CDs and since everyone got one, I don't see myself finding a trading partner. So I'm adding them to care packages that go to our Troops in Afghanistan and those in the Middle East supporting Operation Enduring Freedom. Some stickers and some other stuff too from my Mystery Box will go to and who knows, maybe we turn a soldier or a marine onto Pearl Jam, Brad, Tres Mtn etc and get a new fan on top of hopefully giving them some support from home!

Anyone have anything that will not find a home in your home or through a trade or sale and would like to donate for care packages, please PM me and we can talk about getting your items in care packages to the Troops. We did this a few times in the past with PJ Boots and it was a success.
Thank you for your consideration and I promise any item will absolutely 100% get into care packages. Even if it's something I want LOL.

    I got both the Columbus dinosaur poster and the wolf man poster. Any chance we can ship these to the enemy?

    I don't have any items to donate, but I made a monetary donation thru the link above.

    Thanks for all your efforts, btw. :D

    I'll be receiving my mystery box (finally) in 7 days. I can't wait to see what's inside. You can bet I'll be sending some items your way, Dave.
