Buy/Sell/Trade Forum

As I have written in past forum threads, I got my start in the hobby in 1978. So, 1979 was my first anniversary in the hobby. I celebrated that by compiling 2 sets of 1979 baseball cards. (And I had enough cards to put together 3 more, if the collation was little better.)

Well, 2019 brings me to my 40th Anniversary of being in the hobby. I can't do anything nearly as spectacular as Chuck did last year (I'm also not as O - L - D as him). However, I gave it some serious thought over the past couple weeks, and this is what I am going to do:

I have selected 40 decent cards to give away to 40 lucky members here. The cards are listed here in my 40th Anniversary Collection. Preview what you're interested in. I have selected cards from Baseball, Football, Hockey, and even a couple Non-Sports. Additionally, I will send out 39 other cards (of my choice, but of your proclivity) to make each package 40 cards. (Sensing the theme here yet?)

Here are the "rules":

1. You must respond to this thread saying "I want to participate" to participate.
2. You must be one of the first 40 people to respond to the thread to be able to participate.
3. You will know that you have "made the cut" because I will respond with your id and a number. The number is simply the order in which you have been recognized as a participant.
4. When I have 40 participants, I will run the names through Random.org 4 times (40 would just be corny, now wouldn't it?).
5. Whoever comes out as #1 gets first pick. #2 gets second, and so on, to the last pick.
6. Each participant must pick a card within 3 days of being notified that it is their turn to pick. Failure to do so within 3 days (not hard-fast 72 hours, but at least 72 hours) will relegate their pick to the bottom of the list.
7. No whining. :)

Yes, this may take a while to fill up the pool, and then have picks occur. If you are impatient for free items, please don't request to participate.

I put the cards in a collection so I can easily transfer them over to your collection.

Oh, and whoever winds up being 40 in the Random generator will get something special (picked just for them). I will pick it once I know who it is.

The cards in the mix are generally decent cards. Some of the cards pre-1979 are not absolutely perfect. But they are very nice specimens. 

I want to participate!

I want to participate, but I also want to reserve the right to whine as my God given forum rights granted to me allow.  If this disqualifies me then you can be sure I'll whine about it on here more often than Bob mentions not being able to catalog his error cards.

Count me in! Thanks Dan!

I want to participate. Thank you this sounds fun.
