Looks just like mine, Larry. Never can have too much packing material for later on!

I toss my empties...but that's just me...feel free to keep anything you want...you could even wind up with the largest collection of emptied bubble envelopes. Not sure what kind of market there is for such, but, hey, they sold Ty Cobb's dentures for 25K so you never know...

You can recycle those packing 'peanuts' by dropping them off at the nearest UPS store...they'll even thank you for them.

Trust me when I say that Guru Larry uses these envelopes up fast.
He's about as prolific sending cards out randomly as anyone...ever
He's gotta be in the USPS Hall of Fame

I'd be afraid my wife would find that collection of used packaging. I'm very impressed.... but I must confess to disposing of bubble wrap mailers very quickly.

It is a wonderful addiction/hobby.

Took the thought right out of my head. Destroy the evidence and into the safe they go!

Wow!! Does that pic look familiar. Reoccurring conversation with my wife regarding similar pile (piles) in a closet. When the kernels get too much I take them to my local antique shop to give them new life. Most antique shops have some eBay action going on and will appreciate the donation. Keep them out of the landfill and the closet. Thanks to the OP for the fun thread.

Agreed.

If those were full, THEN you might have a case for having too many cards.

Now you should see my empty box room!

Default Canada Post.....
Don't know about USPS, but Canada Post has no problems with them being recycled with new labels, which happens when the heat is on from "Her Majesty" when the topic of my storage closet comes up......
