Mail Mystery
Over the weekend I received an envelope full of stamps in the mail. This happens from time to time--but generally speaking I have some clue who the sender is. In this case that is not the case.

The envelope bears no return address, and contains nothing except stamps. Ironically, there is not an actual stamp on the envelope itself; instead, it bears a Pitney Bowes meter marking dated June 13th. That a meter marking was used would seem to indicate the envelope was mailed from a business, but I've not ordered any stamps recently.

The meter marking indicates the envelope was mailed from zip code 30043, which is Lawrenceville, Georgia. As far as I know, I don't know anyone from Lawrenceville--and none of the handful of outstanding trades requested through Philosateleia even came from Georgia, much less from Lawrenceville. I suppose it's not impossible one of those collectors for some reason ended up mailing his/her trades from Georgia, but one would think he/she would identify the mailing as such.

Finally, from my cursory perusal it appears there's a nice selection of landscape stamps sprinkled among the contents of the envelope. Could be coincidence, but it almost seems as though the sender must have known my primary collecting interest (when I have time to work on my collection, which has been rarely as of late).

Can anyone out there shed some light on this mystery?
