The first week of October when the Major League Baseball playoffs began an unusual thing happened on my Topps Bunt app. See, my profile picture on the app is the Detroit Tigers "Old English D." I am supporting my second favorite team, but my favorite in the playoffs. Suddenly, I started getting unbalanced trades by 4 or 5 different people on the opening day of the Wildcard games. When I say unbalanced, I mean unbalanced in my favor. These people started sending me Tigers cards out of the blue with "Go Tigers!" messages. They weren't sending base cards; they were sending common and uncommon cards. How fun! It really made my day.
I don't know. I thought this was an amazing little trend, so I paid it forward and a sent whole bunch of my Tigers doubles to those who have the "Old English D" on their profile. As the games continue through the playoffs, I plan to do this with fans of other teams.
Let's take this random act and pass it on in the other card apps. Take a look at someone's profile and ship off unwanted dupes that match team or character of their profile. This, by the way, isn't a trade you send to get something, just ask for a random base card. Let that person know that you are celebrating their team or character.
