My exact reactions:
"Trading cards? Maybe he made a mistake, I didn't ask for these..."
No, you didn't ASK for them, but you also don't ask for the extra items people sometimes toss in with any trades you do. I mistakenly assumed that you may of missed the post or the email and thought I'd be nice and just mail cards out to those people that have tried to attend the Joe Meets in the past and couldn't make it for whatever reason.
"...why are there so many of the same card? Are there more to the set and I just got those at random?"
The extras were for people to SHARE and to INCLUDE with packages they send out via trades, ebay sales, etc. This is kinda mentioned here on the site and the sign up page - which, of course, you've most likely never bothered to look at since you don't care about cards. I don't collect cards either - but when it comes to helping this site, I'll use any promotional means I can to spread the word about it.
"Mego Museum? That's a rather odd card to stick in a GIJoe card set..."
I'm returning a favour. They're sending out a JoeCanuck card with their mego shipments. Some people actually collect both lines, and getting "the name/site" out there to an audience that may of "forgotten" about GI Joe, or doesn't know about the Canadian site or Canadian Con is always a good idea.
"....the hell is a "beaver name"?"
If you've read any of the newsletters, then you'd know that Timbit had a pet beaver, thus, this is how you get his name.
I'm not much of a trading card guy. I didn't pay any attention to the JoeCanuck trading cards for that very reason.
And that's why your taken off the mailing list now.
It's free, and I thought it was a nice gesture from me, to you. I had mistakenly assumed that you enjoyed this site and all it offered, and that you would of gotten a kick out of getting something FREE in the mail. My bad. How could i think someone would like something for free - even if they don't collect them. At the least, I thought you would of liked the Black Ice cards since you could display them with the Black Ice figure that you got from me years ago. It will NOT happen again. Guaranteed.
Actually Jay, toss them all back in an envelope, and mail them back please. I'd rather someone else have them that would enjoy them. I'll send you the money to pay you back for the stamp.
