pre-PWE appreciation PWEs

I keep hearing about some "PWE Appreciation Week" thing happening next week -- send someone some cards in a PWE and let the joy unfold, or some such pleasantry.

As you might remember, Topps shoved 46 Dodgers into the short-print set of Heritage this year. (If Topps only knew how many current cards I would buy if it didn't pull stuff like this). I finally obtained the last Dodger I needed when Marcus of All The Way To the Backstop sent me a PWE that included " Top-deck" Hanley. (Sorry not sorry that blast came against the Padres). And the Heritag...
