There are a few people on the list who aren't on the list yet, so to speak. If you want in, go ahead and leave a comment and/or e-mail. The list is getting pretty long, so the holiday season may end up extending to St. Patrick's day, but hey, free cards is free cards. A few things to note:

  • If someone else picked your team, that's not a problem. I have PLENTY of cards as you'll see below.
  • I've been getting e-mails with addresses, which is good. The easier it is to find your address, the quicker the package will get out.
  • I do not expect anything in return. If you absolutely have to send me something back or you will feel that your balance of karma is misaligned, please send something after you receive your cards. Note that you have something to send me in an e-mail and I'll include an index card with my address in the package.
  • If you're desperate to have this before Xmas, let me know and I'll see what I can do. The first wave of packages should go out on Friday.

Ok, now that that's out of the way, wanna see what was in the box? Well, here you go:

About half the box was filled with pages full of cards like this. Everything got here in tip-top shape thanks to:

The valiant sacrifice of Jack Armstrong, who saved the box from werewolves, typhoons and a global banking collapse. Jack sadly didn't make it, but he told me on his deathbed to win just one for the Gipper. Here's what came out of the pages:

I told you there were plenty of cards. Packages will be about 20-50+ cards each depending on the obscurity of the request. This is in addition to all the other junk I have, so please, request any team you want.

Here's a slightly better photo of the beautiful rainbow of cards. I almost didn't want to sort these into teams it was so purdy.

There was other stuff in there too, all ready to go. And remember kids, I'm just talkin' bout the Marx Brothers...

I'd love to get in on this, Orioles in general, and Cal Ripken in particular.

Forgot to add that any Viking's cards would be ok as well

Dan said...

Please, sir, may I have some more?

I'd love to get some Omar Vizquel cards, if you have any. Thanks.

Thanks for the Reds.
Can I implore upon your giving nature to throw in some Angles (SLC Bees are the AAA Angle club), Oilers/Titans and any basketball you see fit? Time to diversify.
