Paying it forward - A must read

FavreFan1971

I have had the pleasure of dealing with many of you over the past three years. I inquirred about Packer cards in the 1980's wax pack busting. To this day I have received numerous extras in my packages. The top prize was a 1968 Bart Starr. I also got many extas from personal collections. Many of which will be sent in to PSA.

As a thank you I want to start a Pay if Forward thread.

What is paying it forward you ask. Well, if a person does a good deed to you, you in turn do a good deed for another.

The way I would like to spin this is to have a person list an item in this thread that someone could use in their personal collection and not for resale. The item should be sent for free and the postage prepaid so no money changes hands. Once the item is received that person is on the pay if forward chain. They now list an item and the first to reply stating they want it gets it, and so forth. You can be paid forward more than once but common sence would allow for many to participate. If you break the chain Lawnmowerman will ring you head with a cowbell for seven straight weeks.

So what do you think?

I will get it started by listing an entire set of 2004 Fleer Ultra football 1-200. Who wants it?

larryallen73

Great idea. I will keep an eye on the post to see what happens.

lostdart58

Agree that it is a great idea..................not a modern or football collector so i will pass on these.............but will have some stuff to pass on forward, when and if my time comes.......

tennesseebanker

Excellent Idea, I have sent a few things out this week to a few folks. And have a few more to send out, Once I get home and sort through some things I will list a few more things i have to anyone that wants them.

Farvefan, I'll start the chain. I'll take the 2004 Ultra set as I am a football collector. Not really a modern collector, but I will add it to my football sets already.
To pay it forward, My daughter is a big Tiger Woods fan and I bought her (and I) a case of 2001 UD Golf. I will offer a full set from that break to whoever wants it.
Farve, I'll get together with you on shipping.

FavreFan1971

Just PM me your address. I will get it out ASAP. Enjoy, the photography is excellent.

T206 Honus Wagner. Any condition will do.

FavreFan, can we get multiple payings of things forward going at once or do we have to wait for the current item to be claimed? I might have a few things to send to people.

Any NY Giant cards would certainly help out my personal collection. I'll fill any requests I can.

Troy, I would rather use my weed wacker

C'mon guys, this is where we post what we want to GIVE. Not where we post what we want to be given.

I'm disappointed in the two of you.

i am offering a 1984 donruss complete set that i compiled from many a wax box. (already gone... BRI)

for football fans i have (what amounts to) a box of 1986 topps football cards, that includes a psa 9 walter payton ath i am offering also. I apoligize, i believe these cards are 1987 topps football.

Julen

scooter729

I've got a box of 800 Angels cards - mostly commons from the late 80s and early 90s, but some Joyner/Abbott type cards will be in the box. Any takers? I'll send it off if you can Paypal me the 8 bucks to ship it.... Shoot me a PM...

Would loved to have been a little faster as the 84 Donruss set would have been really nice to have but if the 1986 Topps football cards are still available I would love to have them as all I have of that set is a couple of cards so this could be a start towards a set.

Edited to add: Well if they are 87's I have a near set lacking one card so I would pass on them.

xphunk

i'm not sure if i replyed in time for the 84 set or not, but regardless i think this is a great idea. i have so much stuff i'd love to give away to someone who could appreciate it. not sure where to start but i'll throw up a lot of 22 emmitt smiths that have been sitting around forever. there is a rookie or two, a playoff promo, a couple inserts, 1 numbered insert, and a '91 score card form the National, along with a few base cards. you guys know anyone who collects Emmitt?

ROD CAREW FANS - I have about 1,200-1,400??? Rod Carew cards from '68 forward (mostly 1980--&gt. Nothing before 1980 worth sending to PSA. I have kept one of each card and want to get rid of the rest. I am still a big Rod Carew fan but I just don't need them all. This is aimed at the Rod Carew collector looking to pick up some BULK for their collection. All brands including some O Pee Chee, Kellogs, etc... and of course tons of Topps, Fleer and Donruss. Anyway, I don't know what it would cost to ship it from California to it's new home but I should think $14 would be close enough for me. Or figure out exact postage. I am not looking to make anything on the deal. Just paying it forward.... Send me a PM if interested.

2dueces

Sitll have the 2001 Golf Set if any one is interested? If not, I'll root around for something else. I've got some complete sets of other cards.
How about a complete 1989 Topps Football Set. A 1991 UpperDeck Baseball set. Let's see if any wants these so I can pay it forward.
Joe

Estil

Well, I would like complete 1993 and 1994 Fleer and 1994 Ultra baseball sets, as well as any 1993 Fleer or Ultra complete insert sets. I have some spare 1995 Fleer insert sets I could offer in exchange. It is about time we put the trading back in trading cards.

Thanks for the heads up Scott.

Very nice offer Scooter but I am going to have to pass. Like the most of us, I am overrun with late 80s to early 90s stuff.

Cool, thread! I might have to see what I can find.

zef204

OK,

I'll offer up 3 seperate lots.



First:





Second:





And finally, 4 different 1970 glossies all going to one person. They are only 6's but they are sharp and are 1/8th of the set. I love the set and hopefully one of you will want these.

XanaduNow

Zef, those are some seriously generous offerings. I'd take a lot but I don't think I have anything worthy of paying those forward.

You're a good man, Charlie Brown

Arthur

meuandthelot

Nice stuff Zef!! Should energize this thread

tennesseebanker

Ok, I have a complete set of 90-91 hoops series 1 basketball to give someone who wants it, I will fill the rest of the 800 count box with 91-92 skybox should be about 3 to 400 of those and any other basketball I can find to fill the box. Pay it Forward.............

Allen

I would gladly take the Rocket or the 70's Super if you still have em. I will find somethin to play foward to someone else.

Thanks guys

tnspro

What a great idea, being a football collector with literally no card I would be interested in the 70's glossy cards.

I can forward a Deceased, Joe Bauman 72 Home Runs Autographed 3x5....very rare and a rather cool item to have.....
