4 people have posted their cards so far. I always like seeing what everyone has done. The creativity is always fun to see! Hopefully a few more people will receive theirs soon and post them. I took pictures of the ones I did and will post them in a few days if they don't show up on here by then. Thanx again, bobthefunny!

Hi Grant! I recieved your cards just before Christmas but I'm away home traveling. I will post the sweet alters as soon as I can! Thank you and Happy New Year!
Here's some bad news. I believe it was a correct address I sent my submissions in for the 2018 Card Exchange. Instead of getting another persons alters, I received mine back w/ a nasty note. I had sent the cards facing inwards to nothing would get spoiled w/ a piece of tape closing the top of the toploader so the cards wouldn't get out.
The note stated I couldn't use another company's letter (Subaru) to use as mail. That is FACTUALLY WRONG!!!! I had checked a few years ago w/ my local post office if I can use the unused envelopes that came in the mail from other companies. I was told yes, you can, as long as the correct postage is on it and it is sealed properly, and nothing illegal is being mailed. The reason I asked is I do a lot of trading via Puca Trade, and sometimes I find myself w/ no PWE's left, so I use those that come in from junk mail or that are unused from other mail.
Now I am basically not able to participate, am furious, and feel singled out. As you can see w/ the photo attached, I went w/ a candy cane theme. There are 3 others that I will not share.
Accusations omitted because no one (aside from me) is at fault. As I mentioned, will remove this part if it wasn't Bob
I got the address from last years correspondence when your address was requested.
I hope everyone is having a good New Year... mine was great until New Years day when I found my adorable, 4 year cat, Leia, dead on the kitchen floor. The past 3 days have been sadness and tears for me and my fiance. I know this is not really part of my response here, it's just to help you understand that getting my alters back w/ some sick note just made my days worse than worse.
BTW, forgot to mention (but stating now) the "Subaru envelope" was just the envelope used to mail out my submissions to Bobthefunny, as it's size was best to hold the SASE (self addressed stamped envelope) and the alters in. The actual SASE used was a PWE (plain white envelope) w/ a stamp and my address on it. I received my alters in my own envelope.
Hey Guys! Finally home after some lengthy plane flights. Thank you to Grant1 for my sweet cards, I'm working on getting them all posted, but I do believe my favorite is Control Magic - especially with that flavor text!
Edit: Fixed pictures, I'll give it a day or two and post the cards I sent if they aren't up
Apologies, I've been busy at a convention the last few days.
Nope. This would explain why I didn't receive it from you. (also, if I had received it, I'd have had to re-pay postage to send it back, which would be quite obvious)
I actually pre-sent the extra set of cards after waiting a while, that way you wouldn't receive them too far behind everyone else, which was one reason I had needed your address again. So... you'll actually still be receiving some cards fairly soon.

Was the envelope you have pictured the SASE that you received it back in?
Because that envelope is post marked from Minneapolis, MN.
Pretty sure neither Bob nor You are from MN, so....
Was the outer Subaru envelope that you reused originally addressed to MN?

So, the outer envelope that encased the SASE was the Subaru envelope... I guess I am just lucky I got the cards back at all. I'll be resending out to Bob once I get his address.
Well, I've learned my lesson here about it's best practice to send out by the first week of December... mail is slow and errors are bound to happen... Murphy's Law... 'nuff said, lol, heh...
Hey Guys! Figured I would go ahead and post my cards since I havent seen them pop up yet. I'm sorry if this spoiled anyone's surprise! Have a great year and I look forward to 2019 Holiday Exchange!
I like to wait a bit for people to receive theirs so we can all see them at the same time. I received from Mohawk Dan, and I have to say I find it super cool that you picked cards from your own EDH decks. Quote a few will find homes in my Vorosh deck already, while some others will find homes in upcoming projects!

Hi Dan!
this is Luigi a guy that joined for many years this super cool Christmas tradition! I also have at home one card from you!
Maybe I am thinking too soon for it, but ideally, is there any chance that this year it can happen again?
Edit: Updated with pics!
Also, Grant, as usual, with the great bonus! Thanks!
