Re: ------OFFICIAL PAY-IT-FORWARD THREAD (Card Posted)-----------

This is totally unrelated to FCB, but I figured I should share my story somewhere. I recently decided I was going to try and put together the Eric LeGrand Topps Chrome rainbow, and I made a post over on blowout saying that I was trying to put together the rainbow. I figured because he's the only person to ever be featured on a massively produced sports card and he is in a wheelchair it was my job to try and put it together. Fast-forward four days after my initial post and I had easily acquired all but three of the cards (gold refractor, red refractor and super) when Houdini pulled the super in a group break. I sent the person who had Tampa Bay a private message letting him know I was trying to put together the rainbow. He told me he was going to put it on eBay, unfortunately it was the wrong time of the month but we worked out a deal where I could bid and pay later. The day came where he placed it on the bay and within the hour it was over $91. Frankly, I simply don't have the kind of money for my personal collection that it probably would have sold for; I have a limited income and thereby supplement it with cards I can flip, unfortunately this hobby has turned into a job. All of a sudden, it wasn't on eBay anymore and I get a private message asking me for my address. After a few inquisitive messages back-and-forth I was informed that he was just going to give it to me, with the only condition that I paid it forward. Needless to say, I plan to do so in spades. I would like to participate in this somehow, but I do not want to receive anything in return.

I know it really isn't much, but hopefully this Pirates card of one of their most promising prospects can go to someone in a similar situation.

EDIT: I recently packed the majority of my cards that were in my PC, it might take the day or so to find it and ship it out, just a heads up.

I will take this. Will go to a Pirates PC for my SS in another group. I am off work in an hour, will post the next card then.

Thanks Syd and that's an awesome story. Those are the things this hobby SHOULD be all about.

Lets see some pics of the rainbow in another thread.

So no one has taken the Dunston yet?

The Dunston is a nice card, somebody will snatch it up, just need to be patient for the right person to come along

Hmmm, I have to fit a card in somehow.

 

[rum151man]

Sure are

so now we have 2 different cards going?????

 

[DRav87]

I'll take the Davis if it is even up for grabs as I am a huge 49ers fan. If not, then just continue on.

 

[CatdaddysCards]

Re: ------OFFICIAL PAY-IT-FORWARD THREAD (Card Posted)-----------

Sure are

I will remove mine and find a random linear fan to give it to, or find a way to post it later.

Generous offer but we are trying to move along one offer at a time. When someone posts something you would like, say I'll take it and then post your Davis auto. If not possibly start a contest for the Davis. Again, thanks for the offer but we should stick to the original card.

 

[Keyser Soze]

------OFFICIAL PAY-IT-FORWARD THREAD (Card Posted)-----------

We had a bout of spontaneous generosity so a second card has surfaced. It isn't a bad thing, will keep things moving along.

 

[rum151man]

Ok here's the next card. Sorry I'm at work and its the best picture I have

#150/150
View attachment 8388

Of if there is no takers I can offer up 14 2010 BDPP Henry Ramos blue refractors

OK were still on this card

Um, that's what I did. Posted that I'd take the Josh Bell auto and posted a new card.

yeah but the Josh bell wasnt the official card, just another generous member adding a free card. it just got a little confusing I think the Bell is still yours though

you could just give the Davis to member Drav87 if you want he asked for it, then maybe he can add something to the Dunston card so we can get back on track ....lol

if the OP says its ok for him to add to the Dunston
