Understanding that this could just as easily be done through a PM, I prefer to send this message publicly so that others on this Board know that the seller followed through on their promise to deliver the good(s) agreed upon, in a timely fashion.
I agree with Eric. I, too, make a post on the original sale thread when I get my cards in. If I have a great experience (and every single one thus far has been great), I want potential buyers to know that. It also allows me to express my appreciation to the seller (though I usually send a personal thank you via pm as well).

As far as limiting the number of threads, I don't think anybody should ever need more than three active topics at a time. It's just too easy to edit when new cards have been added, etc. Making a new topic for each individual card being sold is overkill.
