Fan Pack Fun 2012 Atlanta Falcons

I received this nice fan pack from the Atlanta Falcons.

So far two fan packs have arrived with postage due. I blame the post office and their overly complicated rules.

Letter. Love the Falcon stationary.

Two unfolded pocket schedules (top is front and back, bottom is inside)

Two stickers

Keyring

Luggage tag featuring Falcons plane

Fan Pack Fun 2012 -- My Chicago Cubs

I almost didn't do fan pack requests this year but recently I got the itch again. In short order I've received about 18 responses. I'm going to start off with my favorite team, the Chicago Cubs. They're one of the teams that requires a mailed in request. While never extravagant the Cubs fan pack always feels personal.

The personalized note card with the classic Cubs logo is a nice touch.

Pocket Schedule

Is it ever a good sign when they put the manager's picture on the schedule?

Four 3" x 3' stickers

I mentioned Ronny in my note but this card was unexpected. Interesting that they still had one sitting around their office. I do have a copy already (don't mind having another). I've posted about it before noting the fact that someone at Topps tried making the purple cloud in the background into more trees. It shows that way on all three variations of the card Topps put out in 2001.

Fan Pack Fun 2012 -- Carolina Hurricanes

The Carolina Hurricanes sent this fan pack.

Pocket Schedules

Small Stickers

Tatoos

I'm perfectly happy with whatever a team feels comfortable sending since I'm not paying them. On the other hand, if something isn't going to fit in the envelope you're using, you might be better off not including it. That's the case with the three pictures below. They were clearly folded to fit. It kind of made me feel negative toward the whole package.
