Seeking Donations for Little League
Everybody, it's that time of year again. I'm seeking current modern card donations of base cards, cheap inserts, and any stars or rookies you would like to get rid of. I sort organize all donations, put them in 400 count boxes so there are no doubles, and then I donate them to local area Little Leagues. Consider this spring cleaning. I'm looking for 2023 Bowman, 2023 and 2024 Topps Heritage, 2023 Topps Update, 2023 Topps Chrome, 2023 Panini brands, 2023 Stadium Club, 2023 Stadium Club Chrome, and 2024 Topps Series 1. I would also accept any cards of stars and HOF'ers from junk wax - Present: Gwynn, Sandberg, Griffey, Thomas, Larkin, McGwire, Henderson, Beltre, Pujols, Ichiro, Jeter, etc.
Last year with the kind donations of hobbyists, I compiled 35 boxes to share with two different Leagues. This year I'm hoping to get to 50 boxes so I can expand to another league. Any amount is appreciated! Thank you in advance! All cards go to kids.20240228_083808-COLLAGE.jpg Sent from my SM-G9900 using Tapatalk

I have a few never opened complete Topps, Donruss, and Fleer junk wax sets I could send your way. You'll have to dig out the HOFers, pm me your shipping address and I'll get them out to you.

Anybody else need to do some spring cleaning and clear out junk wax? Must include stars and HOF'ers. Kids don't want Gregg Jeffries and Brien Taylor.

I have a Donruss complete set from 1990 or 1991 (or thereabouts) that I'm happy to donate. Send me a PM if you're interested.

Update:
Today was the first weekend of Little League donations. With the help of Net54 members, and generous collectors on Twitter, I received and organized over 25k cards to make 75 boxes, or more....if I have time. One collector on Twitter sent cash to cover the cost of all the boxes. I even had enough to buy cheap insert sets from 2024 so all the boys could get some big name players in a shiny variation. This weekend I visited one of the area leagues in the Spokane area. The league asked me to set up a booth near the radar gun and the timed base path run. I went as close to the back stop as possible, because the neighboring field was the HR Derby. I didn't want to get plunked with a foul ball during my skills. They started with a parade, and then let the kids loose for fun and games. Kids had a choice to choose a game of chance to win one of 40 boxes I brought along. Games were: baseball trivia, rock paper scissor, draw a card from a shuffled deck, or guess the number between 1&5. 97% of kids chose rock paper scissor. One poor boy played me 5 times before winning! If they lost, they had to go to the back of the line and wait, and try again. The boy who tried 5 times looked deathly ill the 5th time I played him. He could see my stack of boxes getting smaller, and smaller, and smaller. Buy he finally won and got a box. Boxes consisted of old and new! Thanks to Phil, I had enough mid-80s cards to give each box 2 team sets from different years. Then on the box lid I would write the stars and HOF'ers and something that stood out in their career. Hopefully this makes them a bit more curious to investigate baseball history and collect vintage cards. Next weekend I have my final give away, with anther 35-40 boxes. I had a wonderful time. I was so popular today, I ran out of cards in 20 minutes. Sent from my SM-G9900 using Tapatalk

Update: Second and final give away. 52 boxes were shared today with the South Hill Little League at a Gonzaga baseball game. 92 boxes total this year. Parents were very appreciative and a couple parents wanted me to share their appreciation for those who donated!

Well done, Tim! I coach Little League for 10-12 year old kids in the Boston area, and have done some card giveaways for kids, and they always seem to enjoy.

Sounds like I may be too late, but let me know if there is still a need. My parents are building a garage ADU so I have been tasked with clearing out all my early 2000’s cards from my childhood that have been collecting dust in the garage. Happy to donate whatever I have.
