I’m all for the petition. Id sign it, if she took the time to collect all those cards and it does take considerable effort to get 5k, I think we should pitch in and help her.

If not we can create the AdamPieniazek Book of World Records and put her on the cover!

Well, if you send me a card or two, I can guarantee you a piece of mail!

And to Suzanne, did you get my note?

I like the idea of Sophie still using the snail mail. I wish someone would send me a snail mail these days. Reminds me of the days of scented cards and handwritten hellos. It is becoming a quaint custom and part of me is saddened that we are seeing the end of this culture. A snail mail would eventually get into the list of ancient collectibles, I guess.

Very interested reasons you have regarding the business cards. Never thought collecting business cards would be such a fun thing. Also, what is the current record held and by whom? A crazy thought.

That is super-lame of Guinness to no longer look at collection records. Perhaps we’ll have to get a petition going to send off to Guinness Sophie? I’d imagine that with so many cards you should be able to change their mind. In either case keep doing what you enjoy Sophie!

Hmm…good point Clem, that’s certainly one great way of making yourself stick out from the crowd.

I make it a habit of writing notes and mailing them, and I have for several years now. I do this for exactly the obvious reason...no one else does! Clem Gigliotti Jr. - Power On The Webs last blog post..Understanding Ecommerce and Merchant Services

Wow, thanks for this! I’m honestly kind of surprised that people were so impressed by my thank-you notes, you’re not the first person to tell me that apparently nobody writes them anymore.

In response to everybody else, Guinness is currently being reluctant to add new entries of collections, they’re now just looking for non-collecting feats (which I think is lame). However, this is definitely not stopping me from continuing to collect cards, partly because I want to change their mind and mostly just because I think it’s really really fun.

And Adam, yours really really is one of the best I have. Creative and intriguing!

Thanks to everybody who read this is and is sending me cards (yes, you’ll get a note ) and thanks again to Adam for this shoutout!
