Thank you to udelljaru for the Kemp and Alstott extras. Much appreciated!!!

GREAT IDEA! I have done this quite a few times over the years to members of some hockey card groups I belong to on FB. All about helping out a fellow collector :) New to the site and just started to add cards I have in my PC to the database. Will take some time to add the cards I have, make a want list and listing the extras I'd be happy to part with. I collect Toronto Maple Leaf goalie cards and items. Look forward to getting to know some of my fellow collectors :)

Thanks, to jpjanes for the Christmas card and stocking stuffers!

I wonder how many have not been publicly recognized.

120 by current count.  And these are just those mentioned here.  Nice to see more members getting in the spirit.

I love your idea. But how many people will participate in giving away cards? I have made up my mind that someone on this website will receive my collection when I leave this world, I am hoping not soon. I will give away cards, I collect patch cards 3 or more colors just tell me what you guys want and your address and I will get them nailed out.

Thanks to CardpocalypseNC for 3 nice Husker cards.

I want to thank Budler for the PIF Schmidt card :)

I just found this thread and love the idea for it! Has their been a (somewhat) general consensus - i.e.- are members sending to those posting wants and needs here or are addresses being listed publically? I'd like to try and send something in the next week or two and love the surprise factor but don't want to invade anyone's privacy either... Thanks, Becky Elizabeth 

It's faily open for you to handle however you wish. 99.9% of the time people just find cards others need, or will include extras in trades. I've not seen anyone posting wants on this thread as that goes against the basic idea.

One way you can get addresses is to befriend someone and if that person allows his/her address to show to friends. Another way would be to simply send them a trade offer (with nothing in return - that's that way I handle it) just so they know what's coming and to have the system transfer cards to their new owner once they've been sent. Some send an email asking for the address to mail you something.
