Giving away commons for set builders

[Bonds73]

The time has come to weed out the accumulated commons from the past quarter century. Before just pitching out tons of worthless commons, I would like to help some of my fellow set builders complete some of the unfinished sets they may have started and never finished. The cards that I have the most of would be:

Topps base - 1980 to 2010
Fleer base - 1981 to 2000
Donruss base - 1984 to 1994
Score base - 1988 to 1998
Upper Deck base - 1989 to 1994, 2000 to 2009

I also have lots of other commons from other sets from 1981 through 2005 or so, so if you have a set you just need a couple of cards to wrap up, just ask and I will see if I can help you out. No charge, commons only, just trying to help out fellow set builders.

Jim

[subject to change]

Though I'm no longer a set builder, I have quite a few holes in my Pirate team sets from over the years that I would love to fill. I'd certainly be able to give them a good home before they hit the landfill if no set builders need them. But I can certainly understand if it's not worth the hassle to dig through all those commons.

 

[19braves77]

I will take whatever cards you have from the following years:

Topps base - 1981-85
Fleer base - 1981 to 85
Donruss base - 1984 to 85
89 Upper Deck

If you put them in one big box I will pay for shipping.

Currently trying to finish these team sets, especially from 1980-1999. I am not expecting Jeters, Arods, and Mantles but I would be grateful for whatever you can help with. If you don't consider Yankees base as commons I also understand. I have tried to remove the many of the recent SPs and incoming cards from this list to help keep it short.

Not trying to high jack the thread, but if Austin and nevermore want to PM me once they figure out what they still need after working with Bonds73, I would be happy to help out with want lists.

[yakacack]

I too dont want to highjack the thread, but I have been looking for a way to start a new project and thought maybe I'd ask. If anyone has a ton of commons they want to move that I would cover shipping for, I am looking for cards of catchers and nothing but catchers. I collected goalies for the longest time and am wanting to do the same with catchers but people tend to not sell large lots of them on Ebay like they do goalies

If anyone would be willing to take the time, heck I'd even pay shipping plus a bit for large lots in flat rate boxes haha

 

[Bonds73]

I am hoping to really get this project started next week after I return home.

Current status of requests to date:

DWright5 - mailed
Nevermore - working on list
Subject to Change - working on list
Austin - working on list
Yakacack - will pull catchers as I go and put aside for you
19Braves77 - I will get back to you later after I weed out as many cards as I can

Thanks for your patience.

Jim

 

[bojacksoncollector]

Any Bo Jackson or Frank Thomas cards would be much appreciated. MG

 

[Pills]

Yeesh, I've been trying to give away 2009 Topps (plus U&H) for months.

Also have 2008 and 2009 UD sorted, along with 2010 Topps, and Heritage for 2008-2010 (with 08 and 09 Update).

You people should come to the set collectors forum.

Hi Jim,
I'm a little late to the party.

However, here are some set needs that I almost never get hits on:

167,207,213,239,242,243,272,289
313,318,330

1994 Select series 2 needs:
219,227,234,240,259,261,262,274,275

353,394,402,410,414,417

1997 Score Series 2 needs:
332,342,362,380,440,476,503,514

If you would have any of those, it would be fantastic.

Thanks,

Adrian - I should have plenty of the Score cards from the 90's that you need - I will start putting them aside for you and will check out the rest of your want list as well.

Jim

 

[RZimm11]

Just wanted to say thanx for the cards. Cut my needs by over half!

Very generous of you.

 

[Sly]

Hey Jim-

If you're still taking requests, I've got a few 2010 Topps I need. I'm not sure if they're commons or not, so if they're not, no worries (or I'd be happy to pay you for them if they're not):

2010 Topps:
5, 39, 97, 155, 181, 281, 318, 325

I actually also need a bunch of 1986 Topps too. I'd be more than happy to cover shipping on these if you've got a bunch of them. Let me know if you'd be willing to dig for a bunch for me and I can PM you my list.

Thanks!
Jeremy

You want catchers, you got them - I have pulled close to 500 catcher cards, so if you want them just send me your address and I will get them out in the mail to you.
