Pokémon cards!
I collect really inexpensive ones so I'll order a handful at once from different sellers for a tenner or something, and enjoy a couple of days of envelopes all over Europe arriving with low-value cards inside.
The cards are cool and it's nice to build a collection, but the envelopes with their different postmarks and stamps are stories in themselves.
This is a great idea. I used to do this with MtG cards, researching and building budget decks.
Could take a week or more just working out the exact best cards for the budget, then another week or so ordering the cards, which would then trickle in tomorrow the next few weeks kn the post. Then you'd get to play the deck at your local club.
Was fun till I had way too many decks and cards, so I sold the lot.
