Free Card Friday #3


My bookstore opened back up to the public last week, but as of right now I'm still in job limbo, which I suppose I don't mind as much because I'm not sure how I feel about things opening back up en masse again.

A few of my coworkers have been asked back to work, a few were (sadly) outright fired, and a few (like me) are still on furlough. I'm living on my savings for now, and the good news is the stamps I ordered arrived, so I'll be starting to get these Free Card Friday claims out in the mail at some point in the next few days. Also I'd like to note that I changed emails recently and lost a fair amount of the mailing addresses I had saved in my old account, so if we haven't traded in the last few months and you have claimed/want to claim cards, please email your address to me at nickpecucci AT gmail DOT com.

And, oh yeah, today's Friday, so that means more free cards -- the above Griffey (from what I'm already decreeing the Insert Set of the Year) and the following cards in today's post are all up for grabs to whoever wants them!



Page #1


Notes: Latest-and-greatest stuff -- Santana is /99, Soto is one of the Holiday SPs (note the Christmas tree in the background), Allard is an auto. Others are standard base/inserts.



Page #2


Notes: Minis, in all their page-unfriendly glory! '69 Deckle Edge is Frank Howard.



Page #3


Notes: Vintage! TCMA A's card is Hawk Harrelson, '60 Mazeroski is in rough shape overall, '75 Santo is also in less-than-ideal condition. All others are at least in fair shape.



Page #4


Notes: Miscellany I figured someone might want (which is really the key to any good dime box!). Boggs has soft corners/general condition issues, but it's the real deal. Thames is a photo-variation SP. '89 Topps Traded Teke is a glorious sunset/short term stop combo!

That's all I've got this week -- claim away!

Sadly, I'd also love to claim the Griffey at the top...

I guess I better get some more giveaways going on my blog to make up for this.

Dang. You guys are giving away some really nice cards. Sorry to hear that some of your co-workers were fired. Glad that there's still a chance you'll go back. I'm not really sure about opening up schools en masse either. I'm thinking we'll probably continue doing distance learning when we return to school in the fall.

Jeff B - Wax Pack Wonders said...

Hey Nick. I took five cards so Mr Elliptical should have the Big Unit. Thanks!

Jafronius said...

it's good to see HPB opening. I love their chain and would hate to see them fold. It's a shame a few lost their jobs. Glad to know you are still on their payroll. It's a "dream" kind of job!

GTT said...

If they aren't claimed yet, I'd like the Ozzie Smith and the Kent Tekulve cards. You put up some pretty good cards.
