Junk era donations
Does anybody know of a non-profit in the Portland, Ore. area that has a program to give away baseball cards (such as incentives at school or whatever)?
I've got some boxes of junk era cards that I'd like to donate. Thanks! |

Hope this isn't seen as a hijack, but if there is one in Orange County, CA would appreciate the info.
For that matter, is there any organization or type of organization (hospital, chronically ill kids camp, etc) nationally that is known to take donations of cards? |

This guy in Kentucky does good work. You'd have to ship them but well worth it IMO.

Garth,
I have been handing out my junk to area kids, it is surprising how many want to collect those 88 and 89 Donruss. But I tell the kids, that these cards will never make you rich, so have fun with them. I do tell them to put them in their bicycle spoke, shuffle them like playing cards, and make up their own teams and games and don't be afraid to put rubber bands on these cards. Basically, have fun with them, as they were intended. Their eyes seem to light up. Their parents are the product of the dead era cards. They have taught their kids that cards are not worth collecting. But when they hear that they can have fun with the cards, that seems to work. I think we can use these cards in a useful manner to give some of these kids a push in the right direction when it come to our hobby. Give it a try, let me know what you think. Bill

Several years ago I donated cards to the Shriner's Hospital.

At the show I run in the DFW area for our Synagogue's Brotherhood (Men's Club) charitable causes, we now give a "grab-bag" of cards along with a "prize slip" inside. We are always in need of both more cards and prizes
In fact last night I picked up a 20K card donation. And since the donation was in some of the old boxes with cards on the bottom we'll use those boxes as part of our prizes as well (as part of what we now call our "island of misfit toys" boxes where people can pick up whatever item they want from the box (es) so, If you have anything ship em my way Rich
