I recently created a traditional tracker for stamp donations for a series I'm going to plant. I wanted to call attention to my request and organize my donations.

My tracker:

Postal Trackers

Postal trackers generally track the progress of a postal "letterbox" or a postal ring.

LTC Trackers

LTC trackers generally keep track of trades of individual cards, LTC swaps, etc.

What is a Traditional Tracker?

A tracker to organize something that has to do with traditional boxes. It could be trades, swaps, a series that is planted by many people over the country and only related by theme, etc.

There's no set use for trackers -- you use them when you need to keep track of things. The type that you pick depends on what you're keeping track of.

I generally prefer it when a host uses the other tracker for this. I don't like creating fact traditional listings for tracking purposes only. I don't really care what people use "other" box types for. Besides having a fake traditional plant in my log, then you need to remember to delete it when the host is ready to plant, and in some cases you find stamps double-listed with the host's listing and the carver's listing -- and usually you can find that some people log both of them as finds :)

Until I read this I didn't know there was such a thing as an "other" tracker. Guess I'll know next time. :(

Is this another one of those boxes i will be up for 3 nights trying to solve??? i just have that suspicion, yes i do. . .

of course, that's why i wasn't in bed at 10:30; i was up solving mystery boxes to relax. . .

Sheba,
What new box did you plant. I live in Wilmington. I have already found several of your boxes. I really enjoy your clues and carves so I would love to find your new one!
