What's your mailbox look like? Fun Group Topic! :)

[RYAN J.]

Here’s an interesting topic I’ve not seen posted on here yet. As everyone knows the Mailbox plays quite an important role in helping us receive the autographs we buy or request TTM.

So I thought it would be cool to have a topic where you collectors can post a photo of what your mailbox looks like. Do you guys own one that’s Colorful? Plain? LARGE? Small? Or something unique like those large fiberglass fish ones I see all the time? So feel free to snap a picture of it and post it here! Please keep in mind though, to cover up any house numbers or last names so people can’t identify where it is.

Here are a couple photos of what mine looks like. And yes, those are 9x12 envelopes in the two photos to show off how spacious it is both vertical and horizontal. We opted for the biggest mailbox they make since my family receives a lot of large packages all the time. Bonus is I’ve never had trouble with bent SASE’s coming back.

[RYAN J.]

Thanks! I really need to replace the red flag that's currently on it, because my house is so far back I can't see when it's up or down. Need to get one of those big ones that pops up and can be seen for a long distance.

I'm like Osiris as well. Letter box in the door.

To be honest, I don't quite *get* the whole detatched mailbox that Americans have. How easy are they to open and steal stuff from? The little red flag is really meant to let owners know their mail has arrived?

It just seems... really strange to me. And also kind of funny in a way. Sort of thing Brits would have and Americans would think it was "quaint" but I just think it is very odd. All the technology that's been around for hundreds of years and has improved all the time. Man is looking for ways to make life easier and better... and you still have to walk outside for your mail, to get it from a place that could easily be prised open and stolen.

Mailboxes like that wouldn't last 5 minutes in the UK.

LOL! I totally agree with you Johnny's Fan!! Our mailboxes aren't very steal-proof at all. They do make some that the mail falls down into a chute type thing and you have to have a key to open it up and get it. I'm always keeping my eye on the mailbox through out the day and as soon as it comes I run out and get it.

The red flag on ours in the US, is only put up when we have mail that needs to go out, that way if we don't happen to get any that day the mail person still knows to stop and pick it up.

If we lived in town we would probably have a mailbox attached to our house by the door, be we live on a small back road and there's only like 6 houses within a mile of each other.
