Canceled CPC small crown color sample set traveling loan (US only) (1 Viewer)

I'd like to offer up this gorgeous 38-chip sample set to folks who weren't able to purchase one when they were first available, as a loan:

Here's how I envision this working:

• I'll maintain a list of dibs callers in the post following this one.
• I'll mail the samples to the first person on the list.
• That person will mail them to the next person, coordinating directly through PM and updating progress in this thread.
• The last person will mail them back to me.
• Everybody pays outgoing postage.

Some requirements:

• You should be capable of packing chips like a reasonable person, not an idiot.
• You should be capable of turning around the shipment in a day or two.
• You should actually live in the CONUS, not just maintain a US shipping address.
• Shipping will be USPS priority in a SFRB.

Note: after this exercise is over if there is enough interest the samples can start traveling the world. I'll post a separate thread for that later, so no need to post your interest in that here.

Also, we should be smart about combining local chippers, etc., where it makes sense, regardless of who posted dibs when.

Adding participants here since I can't edit the second post:

Please remove me from the list. I can't get tempted into another set - I have too many projects to see all these beautiful colors.

Thanks again for doing this, Lee!

Sorry, I thought I had already taken myself off the list. Please send the set to the next person.

@softchewy you're on deck

 

[18xx Board Gamer]

Got them late last night... will probably ship them out tomorrow morning (5/17)

 

[18xx Board Gamer]

They're pretty amazing...

After taking a few pictures like these, I've concluded it's best to just buy a set.

ALso, my camera can't handle Dayglo Pink. This is as close as I can get to reality with post-processing.

Shout out again to @navels for doing this and keeping them moving!

 

[navels]

where are we at?

 

[softchewy]

@asam2006 - send me your shipping info and I can get these out to you Monday or Tuesday.
fyi.. not sure if this is known or if it happened en route to me, but the Dayglo Saturn chip appears to have a stress fracture in it.
when I noticed it I went over the other chips, but didn't see any others with stress fractures

 

[softchewy]

Actually, looking at 18xx Board Gamer's photo, you can see the little line in the side.. that is part of the stress fracture.

 

[navels]

thanks for the heads up about the crack. not sure if it was there to begin with but idgaf

 

[navels]

Got 'em back, thanks everyone for participating!

 

[18xx Board Gamer]

Thanks for giving us this opportunity.
