No it should come soon. I tried to time them about the same. Already got email from topps that it shipped. I don't think everyone will be excited, just thinking she may do a cheer like your other did for Butler, but I don't know how much you guys like Hosmer so... we'll see.

Holy smokes grandam1697! Thanks so much for the boatload of cards....just got them & love them all especially the Rolen patch/ball patch card from your PC! Over and above what you needed to do Holmes! I'll follow-up and see what else I have to send your way....may be a little while as I don't think I have much of what is on your want list. (sorry, scanner acting up at the moment)
Keep playing it foward folks......nice to receive a little package at the end of a long workday!

You didn't upset me. I'm just saying you did pick a powerful player. Now a ton are sending but the ones who are have been gracious. You have PMd me once I think but you don't have to send to everyone either. Send to the few who have helped you if you like.

This thread has quite a few members but only about 12-15 of them actually send stuff. The others are free loading off the thread.
On top of that the members I do send to very rarely are posting. I wonder if that's happening to others. Ryan is the only one who has posted really about what I sent.
I don't care about the credit but I want people to know when I send so they don't think I'm free loading too.
Derek you can remove me from the list now as I am deployed and it would not be fair for people to send cards and me not able to send back. I do not think I have received any since I left because my wife would have mentioned it. I will jump back in once I get back this winter. Thanks

Can you put me down for Kershaw & Kemp (only until Oct 10th 2012) I will send more then I receive for sure. Over the past couple years I have just been putting stacks of cards in the baseball field dugouts at a high school near my house. I have also already sent a few packages of free cards out to other Beckett members. So I mind as well make it official and be on the list.
Always looking for more Dodgers, Raiders, Kobe, and USC Trojans.

Man I have a great picture of her opening the card on my cellbu the dumb thing won't load. I can email it or text it to you if you wanna PM me. I want you to see it.
For those reading. My daughter received a Die Cut Hosmer from his Topps account. It was addressed to her. She was so so excited.
Thanks again!

Someone else out there has an unknown hand in making this all happen too. The day before I planned to send out the Billy Butler, someone on Topps offered me the Hosmer for Sandoval. Before that I tried to trade Sandoval for a handful of other players several times and felt like I was going to be stuck with him. I already got the Nolan Ryan by trading other unlocked cards and was just looking for anyone else I have mild interest in. I was worried about the girls being upset over who gets the Butler card and even messaged dbroockerd to ask if either had the card so I could give it to the other. The trade offer on Topps was very well timed and something I would not have thought of on my own. Everything came together beautifully and I was able to make things as fair as possible for all of your kids.
