I'd love a chance for that one :) Regardless if it comes to me or not, I will add this to give away...

I'm not sure it was claimed yet?

Either way, feel free to post up some low-end stuff... might help you pay more attention ;)

I sent him a PM in case it is available. I have posted several times here with stuff available. I will put something up again soon.

Is the McGriff Still available? I've been looking to add an on-card McGriff auto to my Star/HOF collection. Either way I have some stuff to post on here once I get home next week.

I'd love a chance for that one :) Regardless if it comes to me or not, I will add this to give away...

There has been a certain level of expectation with this thread, at least in recent times. It almost makes you feel guilty to claim something. The cards are offered free, but you are expected to contribute cards yourself and to "not be greedy and abusive" with claims. Both are very reasonable expectations, but is it really a "free" card if it comes with conditions. Maybe that is why people are shying away?

I posted some things a while back and didn't even get a sniff. I have also claimed two singles, both I would consider to be fairly low end items.

The format of a thread might be a downfall, because with all the side comments and such, the actual free cards that don't get claimed are pushed further back into the thread and most people aren't going to wade through dozens of old pages in hopes something is still left unclaimed. I don't really have a suggestion as to a better way to offer though.

Really surprised a thread with free cards doesn't attract more members.

Posting a card after you claim isn't mandatory, but it is nice since it keeps the thread fresh. Claiming only what you PC and not being greedy/abusive with claims should just be common sense, and no one giving away something for free should feel taken advantage of.
To your other point, if you post stuff and no one claims it, and a few pages go by, you can repost it, or quote it and say that those cards are still available, or just chalk it up to no one wanting them and post something else.
This is one of the best and longest running continuous thread here on FCB, mostly because of the generosity of members here, but also because of the slightly relaxed but still enforced rules.
I for one, applaud everyone involved in here, and wouldn't change a thing!

Guys, it's a free thread. Period. Don't hijack the thread with discussion otherwise. This has been a bright spot on FCB for some time. I feel I can say all this because I was a contributor to the start of it and have sent probably 50 cards away for free since the beginning.

Carry on. Good cards put up here recently.
