Since this is the discussion thread, why don't we get some feedback about what everyone would like to see posted? (Teams, HOFers, Players, Chrome RCs etc...)

Might help facilitate the thread...

MojoDan · Jan 17, 2013

Btw Krom, I thought the first nine card lot that you posted would have been right up many collector alleys on here. Surprised no one claimed that one...

cubfanbudman · Jan 17, 2013

I'd love to see anything Cubs or Bears posted up.

The one Cub card that was posted I claimed but I never received. I'm just patiently waiting for another one to go up

Bill Menard · Jan 17, 2013

I'd love to see some redsox stuff or BC Autos. with the number of prospectors on the boards, there have got to be a ton of them floating around! I'm also a fan/collector of refractors, so love to see those!
[MENTION=4703]Krom[/MENTION] - I would love them! They will go right into the stashes of refractors I keep. When I get enough to think crazy, I start thinking of making sets!

Krom · Jan 17, 2013

Me too, but i don't mind trying other cards.

Bill - cool will send them out asap.

Bill Menard · Jan 17, 2013

Ha! And I love seeing the refractor lot you just posted, except I have 4 of those already.

The lot I took was by no means intended for profit. Not the point of this tread. Already had 2 of the 3 RCs. I feel I posted nice cards in return but some people had their own opinions. I would by no means sell thise cards. Most people here are nice and mean well. Others are in it for greed. Sad!!! I'm a collector, not in this for profit. 30 years doing this and sold 9 things on Ebay. I have a nice lot I wanna put on again, assuming we can have more than one PIF going at the same time.

I posted 2 seperate lots. It's not like I neglected to put ANYTHING back on this.

Try this one (3rd attempt).

If this doesnt go I will not put a timeframe on the next post.

I never even saw this lot up for grabs, was it ever in the main thread?

trizzo22 · Jan 18, 2013

I guess I never noticed the seperate threads. One for discussion and one for posting cards. I probably overlooked it and posted in wrong thread.

jbhofmann · Jan 18, 2013

I was considering instituting a rule that would give the GIVER some power over who gets the card.

Example:
Say I put the AARON up for grabs.
Two people PM me wanting it.
One says they have a Joe Montana slabbed RC to post.
Other says they have McDonalds coupons to post.
I approve the Montana and the thread continues.

THOUGHTS?

I think that is a solid rule!

Excellent idea.

Sucks that it has to be this way but I think it's a good idea to keep the bargain bin cards from being on here

Ashburn Alley · Jan 18, 2013

Nice rule but what if the choices are a McDonalds coupon or a Burger King coupon?

Wait to see if someone posts up some In N Out coupons and go with that!

Ashburn Alley · Jan 18, 2013

Haha. Good point.

We've had a hard time getting people to claim cards, and we're all interested in keeping in moving quickly. This seems like it would inhibit those ideas.

Bill Menard · Jan 18, 2013

I like this. I was actually thinking that the giver could also be able to make a couple specifics about who the card(s) could go to, which is exactly what I planned to do the next time I post something.

Some examples:
1) Only people with at least 1,500 posts or 1 year of forum membership
2) Agree only to replace the item with something of equal value and $x is the value I place on this item (should go without saying, but I'll say it - don't be a moron with this - check to make sure you are being reasonable both as the giver and the person agreeing to the terms!).
3) You have to show me what you are going to replace my item with before I agree to let you have it.

Something along these lines. It is your thread though so I didn't want to bring this up; however, you appear to have opened the door to this type of discussion.

Not sure whats better the coupon or a single card that sells for less than a happy meal.

Possible, but if the quality of the card rises, things will move quicker.
