There is such a thing as a free lunch 72ers

EOMINT

I have several duplicate 72s mostly 8s but one 9 #41 Tommy Davis....8s are #325, 446 (Seaver IA), 442 (Munson IA), 392, 703, 712, 574, 588, 548, 711, 753, 637, 772, 774, 609, 698, 753 (guess I got 2 of those), 604, and 710.

First hard core 72er to respond in good conscience that they want these cards for their set and not for resale I will ship to for free, just because well, that's the kind of guy I am. All I ask is that you agree in good faith to add these to your collection, not to sell them for profit, which I would take as a personal slap in the face since I am offering them up for nothing.

Best,

Eric,
Nice gesture man.

Almost makes me want to start the set myself

Does a hybrid set qualify? If so, I'm your guy..............

If not, oh well.

EO,

There is a guy named Brian Mohr (beach64)....he has got a set which is about 33% complete and an active builder........I think he is worthy of the cards.........................Most of the other active builders are too far along to need these cards.


Jami

PS Fine gesture indeed!!

ArnyVee

What a great gesture!

I need three of the cards listed....Munson IA, #698 & the PSA 9 card

Not sure if you wanted to give them all to one person or not.

dude

Wow EO! You're definitely a class act! I do need some of those, but I'm focusing on a 9 set, so I'll pass. This hobby is very fortunate to have someone like you!

EO, very nice gesture, do non-72ers count? I could use 703 and 772 for my red sox team set if PSA ever gets it up there and the cards wouldn't have to travel too far, about 1 stop on the red line.

EOMINT

Arnee..you have taken the initiative to start the big 72 thread...here is what I am going to do...I just dont have the time to send out several different cards to different people...so remember that movie w Kevin Spacey, that whole Pay It Forward, thing...I am going to send you all of the cards I listed...you keep the 3 you need, send pack collector the 2 he wants, and then dole out the rest as you see fit.

If that sounds good, email me at eolander@yahoo.com w your address and I'll get you out the cards.

Best,

EO

I need the 710 Arny...

I love "Pay it Forward". What a great premise.
Way to go EO.

Eric-
What an incredible offer of generosity to others who enjoy collecting your set. I am waiting for the offer of the free 1967 unopened pack that you want to give away. Please remember me when you do that one. .
Hope all is well.

Cards are in the mail, let me know when u receive them Arny...Best, EO

ArnyVee

Cool...I'll keep an eye out for them. I'll post here when I get them and then they should be off in the mail shortly thereafter to those that have already claimed their cards.

Thanks again EO!

Very cool Eric.

ArnyVee

First off, another example of someone being very generous by offering free cards to help a fellow collector! Thanks "IJustLoveCards" for the offer, but I'm only collecting the set in 8's and don't want any lower than that...but again, thanks!

Secondly....the box from EOMint arrived today (as well as the 2nd part of your 'package' Jami ) and I'll be sending off Jami's cards (he provided a SASE) and Bill's card in the next day or two. Now, I'm still missing the address for "packcollector" to send his cards and no other takers on the 'free' cards!?

Remember, these are ONLY to help build sets (team or regular) and not to be taken to make a profit. Let all '72ers know about it. Jami, you mentioned someone in the 30% completion range...can you send him an e-mail and see if he wants the cards?
