Anybody have any good idea what stamp images would be appropriate for such a series? Little outlines of the state map?

You could do the outlines, but then you'd get duplicate images. What you could do is three different things (one in each box) that the three states have in common. This would (in theory) give different items for each three-state combination.

Yes!

Stamps of each state in the shape of the state so you can stamp them all together on one page to create the four or three corners.

That would be cool!

We have found boxes in all 50 states. The stats show 50: 48 states, DC, and mystery. We would love to have the correct total reflected.

Looks like you need to go back to those states and find a box listed on AQ so your stats will show all 50 states. Road Trip!

I wish that I could do that for you. And that would be a pretty long road trip for you. Maybe the ole turtle can work something out for you.

Is there any way, as a premium member, you could add a custom location to your unlisted finds? That would do it.

He'd just suggest that you walk.

Would it be possible to include the location data for unlisted boxes in order to make those statistics more accurate?

While I actually understand and appreciate your goal, especially as someone who has checked off a lot of states as well, it completely defeats the point of "unlisted" if you have other options.

There is enough negative feedback from people that AQ allows unlisted in the first place, but to also be allowed to include the state then you are essentially providing even more specifics about a box that the planter may not have wanted listed in the first place.

Yes, I realize many people include all that in their unlisted listing, but that is an entirely different topic. They are choosing to possibly violate the wishes of the planter in that case, but it is not on AQ, that in on the lister.

There is a chance we might do another road trip East in a year or two. Guess we can add more in those places we need. Until then, we have the satisfaction of knowing we fulfilled that goal.

There is one other idea that might work: Contact the placers of those boxes and convince them to crosslist them on AQ. Then you could convert the listing from an "other" to a "traditional box". Best of all, nobody needs to leave the comfort of their living room.
