Cinco de Mayo team lots giveaway (still going as of June 10)

June 10 update: MLB teams are down to Astros, White Sox, Rockies, and Rangers, plus several of the various SI for Kids sports.

May 12 update: here's what remains for baseball teams, plus SI for Kids sports stacks sneaking in from my younger brother's old collection! Add a comment to this post and email me glidden.matthew at gmail with the team you'd like.

Original post: It's been a while since sending out cards and I'm doing a spring cleaning of all 1980 cards from my collection, reflecting on my ongoing shift to find new homes for that "modern era." They've been grouped by team, with some groups bigger than others, and all available for claiming. The percentage of "junk" (which usually means overprinted 1990s sets) is low overall, if variable. Most of the unusual cards can come from TCMA collectors kits, Conlan cards, 1982-85 Topps/Fleer/Donruss, SI for Kids, and random 2023-25 Topps packs I buy from time to time.


These stacked photos show varied looks at actual team groups.

Hi Matt!
It's Matt haha! I would be interested in the SI For Kids cards if they are still available! (need to add you to my blogroll as well)

@Matt have a specific sport you'd like? Hope to spread them out since there are sizable stacks. The latest photo shows five of the choices: football, hockey, track, tennis, and swimming. Not pictured: golf, boxing, skating, car racing, biking, and sort of a grab bag of all others.

I am a football guy first. But any is fun!

Great, email me glidden dot matthew at gmail and we'll take it from there!
