Now -
1)Anyone who wants a specific numbered country on the above list MUST POST BELOW A CLAIM TO IT BY NUMBER AND NAME - ONLY ONE TO A PERSON.

Thanks very much! That’ll keep me busy for a day or two. Probably lots more considering how my brain works 
Isn’t postage crazy going across the border too?

Okay Everyone,
Here's where we stand so far, as of today;
out of 29 possible countries, 27 have been claimed.
Of those 27, 18 stamp packets have been mailed out so far.
That means there are 9 more packets waiting to be packaged up and sent out.
I am HOPING to get the remaining 9 prepared this weekend so they can be shipped out next week.
And thank you all for your patience while I have been working on these!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, now regarding the last 2 remaining UNCLAIMED countries of Mongolia and Turkey - they are both officially OFF THE BOARD.
I will now give them BOTH to the one person who picks the winning number (or closest to it) out of 100!
So - if you want to try for a large packet of stamps from 2 countries, pick a number between 1 and 100.
The winner gets not only Mongolia and Turkey, but I will add in a bunch of extras from the country/ies of MY CHOICE!
I will wait until Friday night to give everyone a chance to pick a number and post it here, then I will randomly pick the winning number!
EVERYONE IS ELIGIBLE TO WIN REGARDLESS IF YOU PREVIOUSLY WON A PICK FROM THE LIST OR NOT!
And remember!! You MUST post your number pick HERE!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using the RANDOM.ORG number generator - which uses 'atmospheric noise' to generate true random numbers - we have come up with
the winning NUMBER 22!
This means we have a tie between david13617(David Parsons) & BrightonPete(Pete Ware)
SO - here is what we will do;
Each country lot - Mongolia and Turkey - will each be evenly and randomly divided into 2 lots each.
This means each winner will receive stamps from BOTH countries AND additional stamps added from MY choice of other countries.
Each winner will receive the same amount of stamps.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Congratulations to David and Pete!!!
I will let you know when they hit the mailstream!

A reminder to everyone, because Randy wouldn't mention this, but...
Randy collects certain topical stamps: baseball & cheetahs (among other things). I have managed to find about a dozen to send to him as a thank you for his incredible generosity.
I think all the recipients of his kindness should consider doing the same. Even if it's just one stamp.
Just saying...thanks again Randy!

Okay Everyone,
Here's where we stand so far, as of today;
out of 29 possible countries, 27 have been claimed.
Of those 27, 18 stamp packets have been mailed out so far.
That means there are 9 more packets waiting to be packaged up and sent out.
I am HOPING to get the remaining 9 prepared this weekend so they can be shipped out next week.
And thank you all for your patience while I have been working on these!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, now regarding the last 2 remaining UNCLAIMED countries of Mongolia and Turkey - they are both officially OFF THE BOARD.
I will now give them BOTH to the one person who picks the winning number (or closest to it) out of 100!
So - if you want to try for a large packet of stamps from 2 countries, pick a number between 1 and 100.
The winner gets not only Mongolia and Turkey, but I will add in a bunch of extras from the country/ies of MY CHOICE!
I will wait until Friday night to give everyone a chance to pick a number and post it here, then I will randomly pick the winning number!
EVERYONE IS ELIGIBLE TO WIN REGARDLESS IF YOU PREVIOUSLY WON A PICK FROM THE LIST OR NOT!
And remember!! You MUST post your number pick HERE!

Okay everyone!
All country stamp packets have been sent and the last remaining few in the mailstream should be delivered very soon.
I have had a great time with this contest/giveaway! It's been a bit of work, but I had fun!!
Thank you all for jumping into this and I hope everyone found a surprise gem or two!
My plan is to do this once a year to rid myself of excess WW stamps that I don't collect - so keep an eye out come next February!!!
HAPPY STAMPIN!

Hello Randy
Czechoslovakia arrived today. Based on the extremely positive comments from SOR members on your giveaway, all my expectations have been met, and way beyond. Thanks a lot, you provided me with a lot of fun, distracting me from more important but less attractive chores.
Keep care, and thanks again. Michel

A reminder to everyone, because Randy wouldn't mention this, but...
Randy collects certain topical stamps: baseball & cheetahs (among other things). I have managed to find about a dozen to send to him as a thank you for his incredible generosity.
I think all the recipients of his kindness should consider doing the same. Even if it's just one stamp.
Just saying...thanks again Randy!
Dave.

Delighted to report a mass of Bulgarian stamps arrived in Scotland earlier today. Thank you very much for your generous gesture and I look forward to using these in my worldwide collection. Also big thanks for the envelope, which was well covered with a large collection of adhesive USA stamps.
Kind regards

Thanks Randy!
Those Turkey & Mongolia stamps arrived on Friday, but just picked up today. Along with a pile of others I wasn't expecting!
Just what I need for a drizzly kind of day we have today, it'll keep me busy for a while!
I just hope this message doesn't disappear like 1 or 2 others seem to have.

The stamps from Nicaragua arrived earlier this month (Sorry for the delay in saying thanks) What a great selection that filled many voids in my beginning collection of South American and Latin American stamps.
Thank you for your generosity and kindness. It was a such a treat to receive them in the mail as lately all that has been in our mailbox is bills.!!.
Many, many thanks.

Thanks to all who have let me know their stamps arrived safely!
With packets being sent out to so many various countries, it's nice to see that all of them made it to their destination in one piece!
