Feeler/exploration for Wanted, 10 people for 5x7 print exchange. 2014, year 1

Hello 5x7.1 Group print exchange.

We have 12 people.

I set April 1 as mailing date, let's try to shoot for delivery, to me, April 1, 2014. This means some people distant from me in Chicago will need to mail a little earlier.

So each of us sends me 12 prints, which includes your own. When I get all 12, I will repack them into 12 USPS Priority Mail boxes and send them out to all of us. I will try my best to mail them April 15, 2014. If I have the prints they will be shipped.

Remember, image is 5X7 inches or smaller, attached or matted to 8x10 inches something, no frames, a paper backing is fine and nice matt board is also fine.

You can ship to me anyway you want.

Please enclose your 12 prints AND $15 cash, checks only if necessary. Let's skip insurance and signatures and hope for the best. Do not send me your Mona Lisa!

The $15 will cover sending the prints out to each of you in USA, those farther away, please look up shipping and include enough to cover YOUR return shipping.

I don't want to lose money, nor do I want to make money.

PM with questions, but if the question is generic, lets keep the discussion public here on the announcement thread.

I am posting this here and I am sending you each this in a PM with my address in a few minutes. Let's keep my address to ourselves.

Let's have fun!

How about starting a new group of 10, Colin Robertson also wants to do this.

If you want to make a new group, please start a new thread in announcements.

To avoid confusion call it Group 5X7.2 Second Group! Or make it a better name...

Good luck

Thanks Randy, got your message- Thanks for organizing this, I did a couple when Darr organized them, and it was very enjoyable receiving the prints, though sending them was always a bit fraught, if I remember correctly. My paper arrived from Germany yesterday, so I should be ready to print soon...

Just checked my wallet, $16 cash, will try to keep it contiguous...

Right now we have one drop out, so we are 11. He had a very good reason.

I will add people if we drop below 10.

This starts to get complicated, we cannot PM more than 5 people at once!

Hi Group 5X7.1

Now we have a maybe dropout, kinda confusing.

I am adding Colin Robertson and stray_227 which makes us 11 or 12, depending if Jim Graves is actually in or or out.

So I think everybody still needs to make 12 prints to send to me.

The list is now,

Only just noticed I had a message (Duh!) and seems like I'm IN.
Thanks Randy, will do my best to find something good for this.

This is great!

I'll do a final count and see who is in or out (by their own choice) and post here on the unofficial deadline of February 1!

We all have 2 months to produce a handful of 5x7" prints.

Can we do it?
