Hello All,

Several members of the boards have combined items to form the prize base for a contest. This contest is open to the first 25 members of FCB that post one or more cards in the “Free to a Good Home” Thread posted AFTER Sunday, January 27, 2013, at 9:00pm EST. So if you posted something earlier, it doesn't count. You need to post up something else in order to be in the running for a prize.

http://www.freedomcardboard.com/forum/baseball/115539-free-good-home-low-end.html

Many of us feel that this thread can be one of the brightest spots of a shared collecting community, but believe we need more participants in the thread for it to sustain life. You may also take as much as you would like from the thread. The point is simply to put up cards from your collection that have no place in your collection and you don’t mind giving to others. At the same time, if you see something that looks like a good fit in your collection, by all means, request it and it’s yours! No strings attached and you DO NOT have to post cards to give in order to receive!

I will keep track of people who post in the thread. Everyone is eligible to participate unless you gave prizes to the contest pool. Once we have 25 people, I will have a mod randomize the names. The prizes will be divided amongst three different people so more than one person will win something.

The following prizes will be divided amongst three winners and the list is not yet complete. More will be added:

1998 Donruss Signature Geoff Jenkins Autograph
2009 Bowman Sterling Casey McGehee Autograph
2011 Topps Marquee Brett Wallace Autograph /570

Looks like an awesome way to get this thing going a little stronger than it already is. I'll definitely be putting forward more of an effort to make this thing popular and fun! I'll be adding some stuff late tonight...after midnight to hopefully get this going right off the bat! Thanks to all you guys who put this thing together!

Hey. The thread is free to a good home, not free to a good home only baseball. I've gotten a few beautiful NY football Giants cards from guys on here in the past

Not interested in being in this contest...I posted those cards to give away just because I WANT to give them away as they are not who/what I collect. I only PC Canseco and only 1 of each card so any other card/player I'm not interested in. You can give my spot to someone else in whatever manner you see fit

I can't believe this is a struggle to fill lol

I also don't get it.... People don't like free stuff? Or do they just not want to reciprocate, even though you technically don't need to?
