Purge Giveaway Basketball Edition

Basketball Card Purge Giveaway
Want cards from your favorite NBA team?

I think every collector at some point has to thin out the herd at least once, and purge Purge PURGE! Well I need to get rid of a bunch of Basketball trade fodder. So I am giving away team lots except for the Washington Wizards/Bullets my Homie team I collect.

The number of cards in each lot will vary. Some teams may only have 5 or 6 cards others 50 cards or more. Most of the players are the common guys, some of the teams may have one of their superstars. Some will not have any stars just the Joe Commons.

To claim a team lot just name your team in a comment to this post. Lots will go first come first serve.

Available Teams: (as of 20 June 2014)
Atlanta Hawks
Boston Celtics
Charlotte Hornets/Bobcats/Hornets
Chicago Bulls
Cleveland Cavaliers
Dallas Mavericks
Denver Nuggets
Detroit Pistons

You may also sign up for my new Team Lot Mailing List that I posted about yesterday. Sign-Up form is on right hand side-bar. That is a similar yet separate project, but I will combine requests from both to jump-start things. I came up with this purging idea for the basketball before I came up with the mailing list idea. Oh I should have mentioned yesterday to expect duplicates. Well I've mentioned it now, but I will try to avoid "Bipping" anyone.

I'm hoping I won't get too overwhelmed by requests. I don't want to be constantly shipping out packages. I also hope I don't have to start spending random tons of money on random tons of cards to fill packages.

If successful I will try to keep the mailing list idea open full time. If it bombs well then I'll have to find another way to purge my duplicates and unwanted (by me anyway) Non-PC cards.

New Feature: Team Lot Mailing List

Want Cards From Your Favorite Team?
For Free?

Attention Team collectors!
Do you want to get cards from your favorite team?
At any time Out of the blue? 

All you have to do is sign up for my "Team Lot Mailing List" by filling out the form on the right hand side bar (it should send me an email with your name and teams) Please make sure you include your mailing address along with your team in the main message field. I'll add you to a mailing list that I will refer to periodically and randomly pick someone to send a batch of cards to.

I will periodically send out cards from Baseball, Football, Hockey and Basketball. You can sign up for all 4 sports if you wish. You can also sign up for 2 teams from the same sport, but most of the time I will just send one team to keep me from getting confused while pulling cards to ship out.

The cards will be from random years. They could be fairly new cards or they could be vintage cards, or anywhere in between. Any and all brands will be included as well. Sometimes inserts and higher end cards might be included. The amount of cards will vary also. Sometimes just a small poker hand of 5 or 6 cards or sometimes a huge lot of 100 or more. You will never know exactly what will come your way. I won't know until I cram the cards into a bubble mailer.

Due to postage rates I can only guarantee shipping to the US and Canada. If you live in another country please contact me first before signing up. Non-US packages will not be as often but will almost always be big batches.

Right now I have Basketball cards I need to purge.


You don't have to send anything back in return, but I realize some people feel obligated to reciprocate from time to time so if you just have to return the favor My teams are the Washington and Baltimore teams. Plus you can check out my Master Want List and What I Collect page to cater stuff to me.
