A series of sealed envelopes have been delivered to your estate these past months. A collection of odd black and white maps, with some correspondence on the reverse side, sent from your dear C. F. They are gathering dust in your dresser drawer, but perhaps they are worth reexamining...A Quick Response sometimes conceals deeper meaning... These words seem to carry some portents for future gains. Be careful not to drop these while you're getting them out of your desk, the order in which they've arrived is important.

Solution:

Hey now. This one was just for fun, no long chain or deciphering like previous adventure puzzles. Each of the decoded QR codes gave a message. The links for each QR code read "the first letter," "the second letter," "the third letter," etc. If you took the first letter from the first link's decoded QR, the second letter from the second link's decoded QR... etc., you'd get "u, "e," "U," "H," and "V," which lead you to Private: Lead and Gold: Gangs of the Wild West - 16 Copies. With exactly sixteen entries, this is the first "uncontested multi copy win" that I've seen here. Grats all around, it'll take me a while to send out all the copies. Give me some time :)
