So I was looking at a few threads today. One was about showing pics of your card room so I took a moment to duck into my storage area (I can't really call it a "card room" cause it's a closet) to see if I should take a pic and it dawned on me that I have alot of stuff...too much stuff. They're all great cards and all but how often do I take the time to "play with them" as my wife says. Not too often and for some cards that get assigned to the back shelves basically never. I started to think that I may need to "thin the herd" a bit but it's too time consuming to list all those little inserts or less valuable hits for sale. I need to have a giveaway!
So how to go about it? I have run across many great collectors on this site but it's impossible to know what projects and PC's you all have. I have a couple people that participate in my group breaks all the time that I just learned today have great specialized collections going on (NLR4434 and Coltsfan27) that I had no idea about. Maybe I can help some of you at least a little...maybe I can't. But I figure this will be a place to start.
However...as with anything there's a catch. What I'd like people to do is list in this thread some of the specific cards they collect (particular player, team, set, subset, year...whatever)...however by posting you are also going to be committing to sending a freebie to someone else on this thread. If the first 5 people list items that you have none of, just check back later until you see someone with a need you can fill. Your agreement is that you will contact them for their address and send them a card or cards for free. It could be a base card they need or a stack of autos of their favorite player. Don't ask for postage...don't ask for anything in return. This won't be a trade thread but a freebie thread. By being the one to start this off I'll promise to send at least 5 people freebies but hopefully I can regularly fill someones need and clear out some of the stuff that's sitting on my shelf that will be enjoyed more by someone else.
If you get a freebie sent to you please post it here so we can see it but you are under no obligation to send something back to them...as long as you do (or already did) send out a freebie to someone else that posted a need (or want) here. Obviously I would hope that you would continue to send some out as you see needs you can fill rather than stopping at one...but by posting you must agree to AT LEAST one. By posting here and sending out a freebie to someone else, there's no guarantee that you will ever get a freebie sent to you based on your interests or needs...but that's not what it's about. If you send one out but never receive one, please don't complain. Also don't grumble that you sent an auto but only got a few base cards in return...that's not what this is about. If you can't understand that or agree to that then perhaps you shouldn't post. But if we can help each other out with our collections without worrying so much about matching book values or sale values...I hope that's a good thing.
So with all that said (sorry about the long read)...who wants some freebies? Remember try to be specific if at all possible as I'm hoping if I don't have it then someone else out there will!
That is genuinely kind,
I am a huge devery henderson collector(saints wr) and Philip HUmber (mets/twins pitcher)
I without a doubt can send some body something nice,
what goes around comes around!
Again,
Thanks in advance

I collect any Roger Maris insert cards, also always looking for a Ryan Ludwick rookie card.
I have over 10,000 baseballcards so I have many cards to choose from.
This is a great thing I always have cards that I will give away for free.
Thanks
I've got all kinds of cards I'm sure someone else needs, that I don't do anything with and just sit in my card room.
Darren McFadden, Peyton Hillis, Felix Jones, and Sonny Weems are who I collect.

DeMarcus Ware

crpalmi-this is a great idea! i have a feeling this thread is gonna grow like crazy
These are my Collections:
#1 - Draft albums!! I've been doing this since I started collecting and I have a binder for each year of the NFL draft. Basically; I put a card of each draft pick with him in his college uniform, pro uniform (rookie card preferred), and milestone cards (like NFL Offensive rookie of the year).
Eventually I want to start this with the MLB draft and NBA draft but haven't had the time.............maybe when I retire.
So if anybody has Presspass, Hit, or Aspire commons collecting dust........I'm your man!!!!!
#2 - Jim Thome
#3 - Kurt Warner
I can't play as I never give away freebies

Just goes to show the kind of members we have here at TCC
Thanks for posting guys. Remember this means you are committing to sending out some freebies whether you receive some or not! It's good to see that so many people are up for sending something out... and remember it doesn't have to go to the same person that sent you stuff. It's kind of a pay-it-forward type of a thing.
I'm wondering if it might be easier to list your name and address in the thread so people don't have to PM you for the info...it kind of ruins the surprise freebie. Not sure if people are comfortable doing that but if you're Ok with that please do so.
Chris, I don't think it will be a good idea for everyone to publicly post their mailing addresses here.
Let me discuss this with the CZT and maybe one of us can play host to all the addresses
Let's keep this going everyone! THIS is what the hobby should be about!
Chipper Jones
Nick Markakis
And Chiefsfan101 - contact me with an address as I have something for you
If you post your address in your profile, it is only available for those who have open transacctions with you and the CZT to see.
Make sure those are posted, and feel free to PM Mario or me to see if we can assist with any address help
This is a great idea, count me in!!
I collect:

Not a problem Chris
We're glad to help out as much as we can

Great idea, I'm in.
My main player focus is Hulk Hogan (professional wrestling) and I'm after everything from cards and stickers to oddballs like Hogan coins, postage stamps and food or toy cutouts. I'm also interested in set building circa 1900s tobacco issued cards but haven't handled any of these cards previously; I wouldn't know what to look for re: card stock, ink vibrancy etc. on the original runs. Any rogue singles would definitely be a huge help to me. (Received, thank you)

Thanks. PM sent.
Have an envelope waiting to go over to THUNDER9. Please PM address.
Me too...found about 45 Will Clark rookies for you so if you're a "hoarder" zip me a PM with your address. Still can't find my Ray Allen box as I thought I had a ton of low end rookies of him too. Still looking around for some stuff for others.

Nice Idea Chris
I'd love to pick up this:

Singles are usually in the cheapo boxes, but rarely appear at the local show...maybe someone will send them freewise.
This is an awesome idea, and I see a few people I know I can help out!
I have been away from collecting for a few months now, and I am coming back with a new focus - Maurice Jones-Drew! I want to start a PC and I need everything I can to get it going. Help me out as I will be helping you guys out as well.
Great idea!
I am not a stranger to sending out freebies, so I will be sending some out as well. However, if anyone feels they should send anything to me, I would rather you send to my son. He collects football mostly. His favorites are:
Titans and Cowboys. Also he enjoys just about any gu and autos. He thinks it is great to have a piece of jersey or someones auto (he's only 10).
I will pm the members or get your address from your profile. This is a great idea and an awesome bunch of members here!!
got a wade boggs GU today from deltapine! thanks a ton :] ive already sent out a few, but ill go back through the list and see if i can find some cards for more members!
Finally got some packed up for 4 of you and I'll keep looking for other stuff that might fit some needs.

Big, big thank you goes to crpalmi today. I had a "packet" arrive on Friday morning but am backed up with work so just managed to get to the post office today for collection. Thankfully everything arrived safely despite being poured on with rain and hail all the way back home.

Thanks for the cards, and a BIG thanks for this thread.

They will be in my PC forever. Awesome mailday and generosity. You rock Joe!!!

sebredsox24: If you will PM me your address I think I can help you out with some Celtics stuff.
crpalmi: This was a great idea! I don't know how I never even saw this post until today.
I'm guessing by the lack of replies lately that I was too late. I will still be dropping sebredsox24's package in the mail today.
I'm getting packages together for several members (The Bish's son, vito, etc...) but you don't realize just how many cards you have until you start looking for a specific player or team....... .........it can make your head spin!!!!
I received some packages because of this thread and I want to sincerely thank everyone............
Charles
Hey, just found this post and Chris, what an awesome idea, bud!
I haven't found anything I can send yet from reading through, but I've set the thread to track so I won't miss any new additions.
My various collections:
The '08 Patriots rookies: Jerod Mayo, Shawn Crable, Terrence Wheatley, Matt Slater, Jonathan Wilhite, Kevin O'Connell
2007 LCM Certified Skills subset: I've completed the basic set of this numbered to 1000, the mirror to 500 and the red to 250. I'm looking for any of the rarer cards and GU from this.
2008 Donruss Elite football "Status" subset, but not the gold ones numbered to 24. I've got most of the higher numbered ones but am still searching for most of the smaller ones.
In baseball, I'm looking for anything of Evan Englebrook. I fluked into hitting a printing plate and a crazy rare refractor of him on the same day, and ever since, even though I know the guy is never going to play in the majors, I've been grabbing his rarer stuff whenever it shows on the Bay.
In return, I've got tons of baseball, especially Bowman autos and parallels, lots of hockey and a bunch of football to move to the right people, and I'll send out anything as soon as I find someone with a need that matches my collection!
Thanks, and again, great idea Mr Palmi!
Tim
I just unloaded all my Bobby Doerr pc stuff. Any Boston Redsox fan is more than welcome to them. Got lot of gu cards, serial numbered stuff of him. Plus i got his home address and ya'll more than welcome to have it to get TTM's. My wants/set/needs are kinda hard to come by considering its the 2007 leaf limited base gu /100. Like I said, Whomever needs/wants/add to their collection of Redsox, feel free to drop me a pm.
Ha haven't received anything
Oh well.
Love this thread!
I've sent PMs to the following members regarding stuff I have for them:
GA Pack Fan
osufan2383
gottabe
thebish
thunder9
I collect Montreal Canadiens & New England Patriots.
In addition, about 6 months ago I decided to work on a specialty collection. I'm trying to get a GU card of every member of the Baseball, Hockey & Football Halls of Fame. It doesn't matter if it's a jersey, pants, bat, ball, stick or puck (frankly, the cheaper the better).
So far, I have 48 Baseball, 26 hockey & 11 Football (just added football 2 months ago, & am filling it via group box breaks!)
Best of luck to everyone with their collections!
Ok, I cant resist, I will do this
I am looking for

Will bynum( You prolly havent heard of him)
Felix Jones
Marshawn Lynch
Braylon Edwards
Calvin Johnson
Zimbow - if it's not too much trouble can you list out some of the 07LL GU #/100 needs you have? We busted quite a bit of that last year as a group and am sure that either I or someone out there should be able to help you out with a few?
Here is a link to all the ones I have already. I basically have all the "tougher" ones to obtain, though every year that passes by, it gets harder and harder to get them.

Chris (crpalmi)
Excellent idea, concept, contest, thread whatever you want to call this "Pay it Forward" thing.
I didn't read every single page here yet, I'll try that later tonight. But I might be able to send some older stuff and maybe some newer team needs.
I too need to "thin the herd" I've got tons of stuff, and I have recently thought there is no 'effing way I'm going to ever get it all displayed nice or even
completely organized.
My wants/needs:
Teams:
NFL: Redskins, Rams
MLB: Nationals (Senators), Orioles, Cubs, a few Mets
NHL: Capitals
NBA: Only Bullets and some Wizards.
Some of the defunct teams like the: Seattle Pilots, Houston Colt 45s
All Sports: HOFers especially the ones that played in 1960s-70s
Fave Players (no particular order somewhat divided by sport): Sonny Jurgensen, Roman Gabriel, John Riggins, Torry Holt, Marshall Faulk, Chris Cooley, Darrell Green, Merlin Olsen; Cal Ripken Jr, Nick Johnson, Ryan Zimmerman, Brian Schnieder, Ryan Church, Austin Kearns, Jim Palmer, Frank Howard, Frank Robinson, Brooks Robinson, Johnny Bench, Steve Garvey, Ernie Banks, Hank Aaron, Mookie Wilson, Preston Wilson, Milton Bradley; Alexander Ovechkin, Olaf Kolzig, Bobby Orr, Phil Esposito, Tony Esposito
Some sets I'm working on:
2008 Topps Mayo
2008 UD Masterpieces Football and Hockey
A&G (most years)
Donruss Classics (concentrating on 2006-08, but considering going back at least to 2004)
1965-1970, 1973, 1974 Topps Baseball & Football
1971 Topps Football Insert game (and the mini pin-ups)
1968 Topps Baseball Insert game
The Fleer World Series Laughlin sets 1968? 1970, 71
There might be more there are usually players or sets that I suddenly remember "Oh yeah I like that one"
EDIT: Added John Riggins to the mix, didn't add him at first because I am not looking for anything specific for him right now
I also do some non-sports stuff but if you have some let me know what you got to see if it's something I like. I'm mostly pre 1990s with that stuff. And NO Poke-mon or Magic.
Hey I guess Ill do this. I have some things to give away.
Im looking for the following
Matt Ryan
Adrian Peterson
Unwanted packs 05-Now
Desean Jackson
collect anything Calgary Flames and dallas cowboys, any baseball rookies from last year and this year
Also Brian Westbrook, forgot him
Also Joe Flacco.
Thanks, Max
Great forum topic!
I collect Baseball and Football mainly. My favorite players for baseball include Chipper Jones, Ryan Zimmerman, Cal Ripken Jr., and Albert Pujols and for football include Brett Favre, Jason Campbell, Clinton Portis, and Peyton manning. One specific set I really enjoy is the 2008 and 2009 Upper Deck Piece of history.
Man I can't believe I didn't Put John Riggins in my list a few posts back (maybe because I'm not looking for a specific card of his right now). Silly Me.
I guess I'll join this.
Guys I collect:
NFL: Chad Johnson, Roydell Williams, Earl Bennett, any other former Vanderbilt players, current Titans.
NBA: Leandro Barbosa, any former Vanderbilt players
This is a great idea. I have already sent out a few PM's, just waiting for them to be returned . If anyone has young kids that are new to the hobby, I have a stack of autos (mainly SAGE and Score) that they might enjoy. LMK
Ive sent some things out.
I've just started collecting pretty recently because I'm only 13, but I have some stuff to send out. I collect any former University of Oregon players (preferably in an Oregon jersey, but others are fine) and Jacoby Ellsbury. I'll send out some pms later.

Got a handfull of cards today from Brandan (BBTTRR19) Mostly of Preston Wilson as a Marlin. Thanks man. The Cal Ripken is also cool (I don't think I had it, even though I have some other Topps '87 cards)
I also got my share from from the Official TCC Baseball Box Breaking Group I made a "Mail Day" video as I opened them so I wasn't sure of where Brendan was from until I double checked this thread.

He had offered a UD Game Jersey card of Brian Urlacher. I said that I gould give it to some of the Bears fans I work with. He sent that, a well as 10 other Bears cards including 2 Matt Forte rookies!! They will all find a good home!
Thanks!!!
I collect mostly baseball GU/AU White Sox and Carlos Quentin especially. But I like to send out base/inserts for TTM so I guess I like all kinds.
Just received a package form bajmurray today!! Thanks a bunch. Two GU:
2002 Upper Deck Giambi /350
2004 Bazooka Soriano
Thanks again!!

Still waiting on an address from OSUFan
Today I received a package from RightMoa with a couple auto's of Vikings players (Allison and Rice). Super gesture Patrick - I certainly appreciate it!
I thought you would like the contenders
Send me OSUFan's address, also. I was going to send him some stuff too.
Got my package from Chris (crpalmi). Lots of nice stuff, mostly Football but a few baseball and a little basketball (of some guy named Garnet, must be some loser rookie )
I thought I already had a ton of Marshal Faulk cards, but dang this is an easy 20 or so more as a Ram as a Colt in his College Uni. It's Faulk Cult Madness!
Other highlight cards include:
1975 John Riggins Jets (slightly off center to bottom)
2003 Fleer GU Genuine Insider Marshall Faulk blue mesh
2004 Bowman Sterling Nick Johnson Expos GU Bat
and my first ever "Graded" card. I've been avoiding these mostly because:
*I thought they are a pain to store, you have to keep them in separate areas from your ungraded cards due to the case they are in.
*The cost of sending your cards to a company to get graded vs. the grade they will come back as. etc..
*The confusion of which company to use. There are about a dozen companies and only 3 or 4 are worth using, depending on who you talk to.
*The distance between you and the card through the plastic tomb. It's like looking at your new born kid through the glass window at the hospital.
Anyway the graded card is a 1997 Topps Basketball Kevin Garnett Graded by FGS (Finest Grading Service) Gem Mint 10. Yowzers. Like I said some loser rookie guy.
A thousand and one thanks at least Chris. YOU ROCK! TCC ROCKS!
Received a package from Crpalmi (Chris) yesterday. My son really loved the Ohio State cards you sent. Thanks again for your generosity.
Ross
Received some cards from Chris today. Very nice. Lots of refractors.
I received a package from crpalmi, and it was loaded with Mathis and Jones RC's and a Jones GU. It is a great addition to the PC, and is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much.
Glad you guys got them safely. Hope you can use some of the cards.
got a package from crpalmi, thanks!
update your needs so I can get more suprises out. someone else got one and no comment yet.
I got a great package from Gottabe! Haven't seen the stuff yet but my wife told me there was a bunch of jersey's in there! Can't wait to look through it and I'll try to get some scans up. Thanks a bunch Joe!!

[quote=crpalmi,Mar 4 2009, 01:13 AM]

I have some GU and Autos I am looking to move. Nothing earth shattering here. Just need some posts so I know who is looking for what.
Let me know folks.
Ross
I like mainly auto cards.
rupurdue sent me a sweet package today. thanks buddy
I just picked up some new stuff...I'll try to go through it in the next couple weeks and see what I can come up with to send out.
Any other new player collectors out there that want to tell us who you may be looking for??
I'm collecting any and all Felix Jones cards so any help would be great !!

ADDY help please....need sebredsox24 & broncosboi......PM me please if ya have either of them
I will throw my hat in the ring on this one now. I am looking for Purdue quarterbacks in their college uniforms. For a list of them, they are in my Bucket link. Thanks guys.
I received an Earl Bennett jsy from rnpurdue!! Thanks alot!!
I collect alot of Packers gu/autos.
And especially anything Brett Favre.
Always willing to give something back. I already have given back a few times, but wasn't aware of this particular thread.
happy collecting
who needs some new 2009 base cards.
Packages sent to ffman, stlouisrams1600, and one surprise person.
Now looking for James Laurinitis (LB) and Chipper Jones (3B).
Just picked up a huge collection of mostly junk (160,000 cards) that I will have to sort through in the next few weeks (my wife will just love this)! I doubt there will be anything as far as hits as it's mostly 90's stuff but I'll keep an eye out for some of those player collections out there.
Glad to see this thread is still going on! Keep up the good work guys! I'll be going through here again in the coming days to see if there's anyone I can help out as well.
hey man, if you have any of these guys and want to give them away, you can send me a pm:
aj hawk
donald driver
aaron rodgers
greg jennings
brandon jackson
Thanks so much for doing this, it is a extremely cool thing to do!
Any Atlanta Falcons/Braves you have! LMK!
dwayne bowe autos and gu and matt cassel gu and autos and football hofers
Have a Dan Marino GU. Have 3 packages (so far) going out tomorrow. Waiting for WhyFly to make 4......Anyone else have any wants/needs?
I collect Mets, Patriots, and Brian Leonard
i think this is a sweet idea. i have always wanted to help someone that cant always help there self, and i don't mean that in a bad way to anyone reading this its meant in a nice way. i don't know if i have anything i could give as 99% of all my cards are Edgerrin James, but i will look around and see, and if i can pull up anything, i wouldn't mind sending it on. im not asking for anything though, just looking for the joy of saying i helped someone in my time here.
Aside from Purdue QB's, I am also restarting my Ripken GU/auto collection.
i am always looking to build my buccaneers pc if anyone is in the giving mood
Meatball should have some Buccaneers base/inserts. LMK if you are in need of it.
Rams PC is slowing down, any help? Thanks so much for what everyone is doing.
EDIT: I'm in more of a need of 09 than any other year.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Lions stuff would be a huge help. Really like the 09 rookies as well as CAlvin and kevin smith from the other years. Also any hofers I could use as well even if its just base.
Joe
I know this is not the most popular stuff in the world but if anyone is a player collector of anyone in the mid-90's from pretty much any sport there's a good chance I have a large chunk of either low end rookies or base cards of them if anyone is interested??
Barry Sanders????
