Nope, this isn't another Flash giveaway. This is actually the end of my Flashes. Don't be sad, I am sure I will be giving away cards again soon, but this experiment was meant to run through the end of 2021. And here's how it went:
All in all, I did 24 Flash giveaways over the last 4 months. The purpose behind this type of giveaway was to do the following:
-Give cards away. I like doing this. I bring home cards from shows most every month that I know aren't going to make it into my keeper collection. And they build up!
-Not spend a ton on postage. Mission accomplished. This probably only cost me $15 in postage and supplies. Spread out over 4 months, that feels very manageable.
-Have posts to fill the void. I have not been very good about posting good, regular content. I hope to get better. But these Flashes kept the blog going in some down times.
So out of the 24 Flashes, I gave away a total of 46 cards. I hope the cards that went out now have happy homes where they will be appreciated! *14 total people claimed Flash cards. Four people claimed 2 times each, two folks claimed 3 times and one claimed four. That's OK, I was very happy not to have to make anyone ineligible for picking too many!
And since this is a card blog, below are my favorite cards out of the 46 that went out my door. They were all doubles in my collection (most of the Flash cards were, though not all).
Thanks so much for running these! Glad I was able to jump on one of these (thanks again!), you gave away some great cards!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the cards.
ReplyDeleteMan that mcgwire and malone make me sad lol
ReplyDeleteIt was very cool of you to do this! Much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaways. I was slow on the buzzer for a few of these, which is on brand for me.
ReplyDeleteI can certainly say my home was brightened by that Gibson and the other three I claimed! Thanks again.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity to snag cards a couple of times.
ReplyDeleteOooh that Karl Malone is nice! Very generous of you to give away so many great cards.
ReplyDeleteYou gave away some really cool cards. Out of your five favorites... I like that McGwire the most. I'm surprised by this... b/c I love the 1975 Topps set. But tonight... I'm just in a Fleer Metal mood.
ReplyDeleteAnd I stopped doing mine because it seemed like the idea was working better for you, which I saw as a good thing, if only because it did keep you around and posting on a semi-regular basis :)
ReplyDeleteI think I won your very first flash freebie, but just couldn't nab a second one! thanks for doing it! It was fun to see all the cards!
