Thank you for the generosity! I'm paying it forward.

Besides having only recently joined the #SteemIt community as a new Steemian, I have also recently started playing #SteemMonsters (steemmonsters.com), a new card collecting game based on the Steem blockchain. The buy-in for starting out in this game, with the "Starter Set" of playing cards is just $5.00 (at current conversion rates, that's 3.866 STEEM or 4.499 SBD), and they also accept other cryptocurrencies.

Even at these low levels, there is no way that I can afford a starter set of my own so far using my earnings here on SteemIt. Not only have I only just started on SteemIt, but I've made some bad financial decisions based on advice I received early on, and have inadvertently wasted all of my earnings thus far by "Powering Up" my Steem into Steem Power, which I have since learned (thanks to @bengy) is a great thing for more established accounts here to do, but at my level, having only just started out, it has meant that the 0.249 Steem which I have earned so far over the last three weeks since I joined SteemIt, and which I have invested diligently in Steem Power, is now wasted, locked up in a slowly declining "bonus" of delegated funds. My short-term goal of buying the SteemMonsters starter pack is thus even further away from me.

However, through the wonderful generosity of the community here, I have already started collecting SteemMonsters cards. Just today, I received three rare water creatures, thanks to @erodedthoughts. Prior to that I had received a booster pack of 5 random cards from the @steemmonsters team (and more specifically, from @reseller, on the official Twitter channel for SteemMonsters). My first two booster packs came from @guiltyparties, who introduced me to the game. Below is my entire collection so far.

I am truly grateful to everyone who has donated SteemMonsters cards or card packs to me so far. As you can see, I do have double-ups of a few of these cards already. The idea of the game (so far) is to level-up your monsters by combining cards of the same type. I haven't done that yet. Instead, I'd like to repay the generosity that I've been shown, by giving away my double-ups to other new Steemians who are interested in getting started with SteemMonsters. To encourage other new Steemians, I'll be giving away my double-ups for a while to Steemians who have equal or less reputation than I have, and who have been active here on SteemIt for equal or less time than myself. I'm making this offer as a way to "pay it forward", thanking those who have been generous to me, by being generous to others.

If you would like one of my double-up SteemMonster cards, and if you meet the criteria I mentioned above of being ≤ my Steem age and reputation (check here), then do leave me a reply below. I'll make a decision about who to give them to from the replies, of my own free will.
