Free Stuff Friday (2023) #2

Updated Version.

Hey all, welcome to yet another Free Stuff Friday!

As I suspected, this'll be the last free stuff post in this recent series of giveaways. I foresee doing a couple more sometime within the next few months (more on that in the next post), but I'm getting a tad burned out from all of this scanning, so I need a bit of a break.

Seeing as how this is the last giveaway (for the moment), I'd like to give a few of the folks who can't be here right when the post goes live a slightly better chance of nabbing a "good" card or two. So, while you'll still be able to claim up to 15 cards overall during the first couple of hours, I'm gonna ask that you limit your non-base card claims to 6 for the first 24 hours (I probably should've done this from the beginning). After that, if there's anything that you still want, please feel free to go nuts. And if by chance somebody skips this part and claims more than 6 non-base cards in the first 24 hours, I'm only gonna acknowledge the first 6 when I update the post in the morning. I'm sure that this will annoy a few people, but I'd just like to see if a few of the better things can last past the first 4-5 people, especially knowing how difficult it is for some to get here right at 8pm.

Okay, let's see how this goes...

Page #1: Base cards
Claimed: 2,4,5,6

Page #14: Serial numbers
Claimed: All!

Page #15: Serial numbers and inserts (#1-5 are serial numbered, with the Schilling being a second copy of the one from page #14) (#4 is Jose Reyes and #7 is Ray Dandridge)
Claimed: 1,2,3,4,5,6,8,9

"Page" #16: 1987 M&M's Star Lineup panels (I can't bring my self to separate these, so Cal/George are #1 and Tony/Ozzie are #2)
Claimed: Both!

As always, thanks for looking, and an update will be coming in the morning.

    1. This has been such a generous giveaway - thank you! In case there are any cards left over that you still want to get rid of, tomorrow I'll go through the leftovers from the various posts to see what else I might need, unless I have too many already. Thanks!

    2. A few other people have already gone back and claimed some of the leftovers, so I don't see why you couldn't either.

    Thanks!
