Arrived at USPS Regional Origin Facility

MONTGOMERY AL DISTRIBUTION CENTER


Note: my initial tracking verifying label printing also suggested Houston.


Imagine that, my recent "Little Rock" purchase from alt Candiman has also landed in Montgomery.

Candiman, candiman ----- Pants on Fire

I purchased Lot #1356 from the March Candiman auction, that was unsold, from alt Candiman, purportedly from Little Rock, on eBay. Scans and description of the listing matched those of the Candiman March auction.

The discrepancy between the return address on the label 72209 (a Little Rock zip code) and the mailed from zip code of 77209 (a Houston zip code) is likely a typo.

Initial tracking for the package however indicates that the package was processed through Montgomery, Alabama only, on its way west. The shipment arrived in 2 days, so this is clearly not a misdirected parcel by USPS which can end up anywhere.

The cards would seem to have come from Dothan, but feel free to draw your own conclusions.

One positive note is that the cards were described as MINT to GEMMINT, which is perhaps a slight exaggeration, but they do appear to have not been handled.

In fact I am so proud of my purchase that I am posting the "stars" on the April Pickup Thread. Consistent with Candiman Auctions practice, I will not be posting the backs.

Reminds me of the Little Feat song

And I've been from Dothan to Houston to Little Rock....

[Klrdds]

Yes Little Feat but possibly the Johnny Cash song " I've Been Everywhere "could also be appropriate.

Chuck Berry/Beach Boys works too.

Well they’ll be mailing from Dothan
Not Little R-O-C-K
Return address in Texas
And headin' for LA
It went through old Montgomery
The one in ALA
Everybody’s gone Candiman
Candiman USA

Or a little Charlie Pride.

Is any package going to San Antone?
Or Phoenix, Arizona?
Any place is alright as long as I can forget I've ever known ya Candiman.

Is it something on my end, or is the preview for the April candiman auction still not up? Was this preview not advertised to be up on Saturday April 7?

I think it opens Monday.
