Chrismas GIVEAWAY - my basement find (w/pics) (*SHIPPED)

**UPDATE: 30 Dec 06**

Took a little while to find boxes to package everything up, but the stuff's finally on it's way. Most of you will get it on Wed via USPS Priority. Knuckles, your's might take a little longer. Hopefully it won't get held up in customs as I did remember to declare it as a gift. PayPal addie is sgt_jarhead_99@yahoo.com and as mentioned earlier, just whatever postage amount is on the shipping label is fine.

For those doing any ripping or searching through the partial sets, post them PSA 10 candidates if you find them image Good luck and happy holidays.


==========================================
**UPDATE: All items claimed** Will PM everybody with my PayPal address once I ship off everything. Please don't pay me anything until you actually get the item. I have no idea what the exact postage will be.

Recipients:
Lawnmowerman - unopened '90 Pacific box
shagrotn77 - '91 OPC Hcky Premier box
FavreFan1971 - '90 Pacific factory set, '84 Topps FB

Merry Christmas everyone.

====================================================

OK, it took a little while to weed through the stash. Some of the junk was "truely junk" from the early 90's, which was about the time I got out of the hobby. I chucked out all the loose, over-produced stuff and made the Missus very happy by clearing out a good section of our basement. The below is stuff that I just couldn't bring myself to throw out and I'm too lazy to got through the hassle of selling them on eBay. The partial sets were probably stuff that was given to me in package deals that I never got around to looking at.

The following is FREE to a good home. All I ask is that you reimburse me for whatever is the cost on the shipping box you get. Obviously, if I can send it in a plain envelope, you don't have to worry about it image

The caveat is that I probably won't be able to find time time to pack up and ship out to you until after I survive the holidays. My home is a madhouse during this time of year.

Some of these items already have dibs made on them, but I'll put them here anyway in case someone changes their minds or if you want to work something out with the individual. Just PM your mailing address on the items interested. First come, first serve image

  • If no one has asked for the three's company box, can I have it?
    Next MONTH? So he's saying that if he wins, the best-case scenario is that he'll be paying for it two weeks after the auction ends?

    Forget blocking him; find out where he lives and go punch him in the nuts. --WalterSobchak 9/12/12

    The UD Hockey is still available. Are you just looking for a Bourque single from the East set? I thought I saw a few of those laying around too.

    Can I PayPal you some s/h $$?

    Thanks again!

    Yeah, it's a great looking set. Probably not worth anything, but pretty to look at. Seeing some of the old time greats in their prime was really good too.

    Anyway, here's the tally so far.

    For everyone that's been asking, all you need to do is send me your address. You don't have to pay me until you actually get the shipped boxes. Just pay me whatever is the cost that's actually stamped on the box. Thanks, Brian

    I have no doubt that I had a package arrive today but didn't get it. I instead got a Sorry We Missed You! form in my mail box.

    Funny thing is I was figuring the package would arrive today and even saw the mail lady stopping at the end of the driveway because we had a letter we were sending in the box. She was there for a total of 3 to 5 seconds and drove off. No attempt was made to deliver the package and by how fast she stopped she had already made her mind up and had obviously made this form out BEFORE she even got to our mailbox. This is the second time this has happened and the second time we have had to file a complaint.

    We have been told that there will be a delivery tomorrow.
