He wants sigs and other low-count inserts for his Burnett common. That's what newbies want for each card they own.

I basically just help someone new when they are also a BHK member, everyone else seems so out of whack in regards to their valuation of cards.

Most new people on trade talk asking for cards are NOT newbies. Check out their profile and you will find multiple awards given. Example...
Today Dangles... Had a collection score of 19.34. With 48 trades! Checked the profile and look at his awards and he had 77 including 6 sigs.
Guess who is begging for free inserts. "Really want a veteran card".
Never give free cards to a beggar unless you check them out or just want to get rid of something.

Worst for me is when you see someone asking for a simple common card from this year or last season. If I see they are collecting one team's sets ill load them up with 9 2013 or 2014 base cards they need for free. Sometimes they accept without a thank you. Other times they counter asking for an insert for their lousy common.

Yesterday I helped out someone new, which was fine, they were very cool. They are a Mariners fan, so someone else came along and took all the cards (which were golds and FC dupes) and gave them 9 Felix MOA's and 10 Gold Pedroia's. Now the new person realizes what has happened and has lost their cards. Now I know that you should be more careful, but someone new doesn't know this stuff and to have someone take advantage of that is just ughhh, I can't even describe it.
