rmpaq5 (Ryan) does it again, More OPC Stickers as nice add on to our trade. Thanks as always keep on PIFing, Kaboom, Pow!!!!

randylaw sent a couple of extra surprises in a trade we just completed, and I am so appreciative!

Using the words of minibbcards (Bill) "A 'Cruz' in PIF". Thanks, Bill, for the Jose and Nelson cards. Nice surprise on a very busy workday yesterday. May you be blessed beyond the kindness you've shown.

Thanks to MSG (R) Zurita (Detfan6897) for the Topps football cards and the kind message. Thank you for the cards and for your service. Both are much appreciated!

I received a package I wasn't expecting yesterday that was full of 90-91 O Pee-Chee Premier and 91-92 Parkhurst Red Wings from Robert Finney. I suspect he is upnorth64 because I accepted his friend request last week. Thank you so very much for your kind and generous gift. Go Red Wings!

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.

Here's to 200 more!!!

This was not a surprise in the general sense of PIFs, BUT, it certainly qualifies when the counter offer is much more than my original was. 

Hugely blessed by udelljaru (Jason) with an overloaded trade in my favor which included the 1981 Topps Traded not requested in my original offer, but I have it now! Along with the tons of the Cowboys triplets and Marinos we'd agreed to.

Jason, may you be blessed over and abundantly more than the kindness you've shown.

Hi Everyone, 

Let me take a crack at my first one here:

I would like to recognize (with his permission already secured, of course) bkim for adding on to an already generous bargain.  In total, I got 28; eleven more than I had bargained for, and four of them specifically wrapped in the (famous?) "PIF" note.  Thank you bkim, and I shall embrace the challenge myself. 

I can't be the first in 1100 posters to mention that I have gotten more than a few lopsided trades and numerous bonus gifts, but this is my first specifically targeted PIF challenge and it shall be my solemn duty to continue the chain.

Thanks bkim!

Shout out to Detfan6897 (Ed) for the Army strong Card and a few 2006 Parkhurst cards needed for my collection. Thank you for the kindness in my struggles.
