Spring Cleaning 2021!

It's time to get rid of some baseball cards. Again.

 

I would like to get rid of at least 30 boxes of cards. I know that's an ambitious goal, but I'm sure a few of you are up for helping me out. I am going to make this as brief as I can so that you won't get bored, stop reading and wander off somewhere else. I am expecting to send out boxes of smaller size as well as bigger Priority Mail style mailers. I'm hopeful there will be something interesting for everyone who chooses to participate.

Rules:

1. Claim a team below. More than one person can claim a team. I will divide up what I have amongst the people judiciously.

2. Send me a minimum of one card from my want lists. (Team Want List | Set Want List)

3. Send me your mailing address if I haven't sent you anything in the past year or so. If I don't know who you are or how to contact you, I am not going to consider your team "claimed" until you complete this step.

4. Don't be a jerk.

You can expect to receive a mix of cards for your team from a variety of sets, including (but not limited to):

1. Newer base cards (including stuff from 2021)

2. Older base cards (you guessed it!)

3. A few inserts and parallels, depending on availability per team. (Let's just say I don't have a huge number of Dodgers or Cubs, for example.)

4. Minor league cards where your claimed team is the parent club

5. A select few serial numbered cards, autographs, or relic cards. This will vary wildly from team to team. I'm not going to tell you which teams I have bonus goodies like this for, or else no one would claim anything.

6. Very little (if any) "junk wax", especially if you are receiving a small box instead of a big ol' Priority Mail mailer.

7. Something random?! You never know. 99% of what you'll receive will be for the team that was claimed, though.

More rules (what?!) This is all optional, but feel free to tell me if you want:

1. A larger box? This means a higher probability of junk wax, but I will also include more base cards from the past thirteen years of this blog's run.

2. Are you a set collector? Do you need base cards? The vast majority of my extra cards are sorted numerically by set, so it's easier for me to look at set based want lists rather than team specific needs, so I may be able to help you out without claiming a team.

3. Special requests (no Panini! no 1991 Fleer! no guys with hats?!) may be honored if they're not too unreasonable/time consuming. Yes, this includes other sports.
