A new solution for the text:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
These cardinal stores are (located throughout earth)
Fits the letters, and the sentence reads better that way.

Regarding the Danish one, I have no idea - but I will try to reach them by phone as well.

I don't think the danish address is correct.
There is no Kobenhavngade i Cph and the spelling of the shop name should be Videoteket and not Videothek.
Videoteket is further more a film libary that distribute documentaries to schools ect.
I highly doubt that a place like this will be selling the cards but I could be wrong.

Regarding the shops in Stockholm. As I said above, there are two stores in Stockholm under the name of Leksaksborgen, and I visited both of them today.
The first one had no idea what I was talking about, not even remotely - and if I'm not mistaken (which isn't impossible) she didn't just act - but really had no idea what I was talking about. Not that surprising though, since the store carries toys for children up to the age of 8. Not exactly PPC-playing kids...
The second one told me to return when she wasn't so busy (the store was filled with pregnant mom's..) so she probably know something, why else should she have told me to return?
I'll report back when I know more. Over and out.

I just got off the phone to the London store and the only information they had is that the cards definitely exist and they plan to start stocking them next month.

Finally got my parcel. Even though the message has been completed, for posterity my letter is 79 = E.
Everything else appears to be the same.

odd that. we have roughly 143 letters. or, about 143 parcels recieved. or, 190 parcels NOT recieved.
are there any other groups playing along who wouldnt be checking in here? google turns up lots of individuals looking fFor other individuals, but many point to here even still. so it seems to me if anyone was going to join a community, this is the one they would join. so where are the other almost-200 unaccounted fFor parcels?

After googling a number of things related to PXC, i haven't found any other groups.. strange seeing as we don't even have 1/2 of the packages ..maybe all 333 didn't go out, I would of thought they would of but 190 packages is quite a lot to not have.

playing without google I am sure they sent out all 333 packages. Of the ones that are missing, I assume some couldn't be delivered. Of those that were delivered, people either have decided to not post for some reason or have simply not heard of unfiction. It is perfectly possible to sign up for this game, respond to the email and get a package without being linked to us. As I recall, the emails I got from Sente specifically said that he would be in touch with more information. The existence of a forum and a community playing the game is not mentioned.

Googling PS/PPC gets Unfiction among the top three results. The lack of packages is probably due to not received or just not posting - Unfiction is quite obvious if you google your card...
