Avoid the doldrums right now: PWE giving thread?

[buckunteer]

Sent another one out today. THANK YOU BO community this is just one of myriad ways we can try and make these disorienting and often frightening times just a little bit brighter

[Spink]

Thanks to the person that sent my son 30+ 2014-15 Prizm base cards! He nearly has 100 of 400 now. He is super excited.

He can't stop talking about how randomly people on a forum keep sending him cards. I love it. Thanks y'all!

Great idea, OP!

Offer still stands. PM me those addresses!

My sons 10 and would love to get any cards in the mail to open, the shinier, the better lol. He also loves Kobe. Kobe was always my favorite player growing up, so we’ve been watching a bunch of YouTube videos since he passed Jan 26.
(Disclaimer- I don’t expect anyone to send Kobe cards, he loves any kind of Prizm cards, even if they’re not good players). His name is Bryce.

I've got some stuff to trade!

Feel free to drop me a PM if you've got some ideas on who/what you'd like to PC. Happy to try and help you jump start your collection again.

PM me your address and I'll send a mix of those guys for you.

Got a nice little LeBron 12-13 Hoops from someone from Florida! Thank you!

I love this picture because I believe it is the play during the finals where LeBron got a dunk and his headband knocked off that sparked the run by the Heat to bring them back in game 6.

Uh oh...ok I would've sworn the initial post said 15-16 Prizm and not 14-15...that was probably my package but I hope I didn't send the wrong set!!!

Thanks for the 15-16 Prizm!!! I wrote the wrong year. You sent what he was looking for.

Thank you to utmoody10, and the generous members from South San Francisco and Lomita, CA.

Not sure what your usernames are, but you know who you are. You’ve taught a 9-year old what it means to give.

EDIT: Just confirmed that South San Francisco is Spacemanspif and assuming Lomita is 90swagCSCS.

Spacemanspif, thanks for the Blazers cards and inserts.

90swagCSCS, the 90s Allen Iverson cards you sent would have taken a very long time for my son to acquire on his own. You can be sure those will be treasured for years to come.

Thanks!

got a couple hand-written thank you notes in the mail. my wife and I thought they were friggin' adorable and made me happy to see kids so appreciative and actually into collecting physical cards instead of just digital stuff on an ipad.

anyone else have favorite players / teams that they collect? I'm going to auction off all the valuables remaining from my spare Optic Premium set, but most likely will have plenty of vets to give away, plus several monster boxes of commons

Thanks to Zodiac for sending a Lillard card to add to my son's collection...

Anyone else looking?

Awesome stuff. I still run to the mailbox when I know there are cards inside, less so when bills are inside.

[Bob824]

So, got a PWE in the mail today. Inside we’re 4 Allen Iverson cards for my son, and a Magic Johnson card that I will claim for me.

Only have one clue because NO return address was written. Whoever you are, who sent this from Las Vegas, THANK YOU.

I'm looking to put together sets of the 19 20 Optic inserts if anyone wants to contribute. Base/holos/parallels...you name it, I'll take it.

Would enjoy being a part of getting this rolling.

PM me if you're still looking for any of these. Have a few base and a lot of parallels from these sets.

I'm a baseball guy so happy to contribute there. thanks.

Have a few cards I can send his way. PM me your address.

Hope your son likes the A.I Rc.
