On January 27th, I am leading a group of ten Heritage employees (and possibly a few Panini employees) to run a short program for kids at the Scottish Rite Children's Hospital across the street from Heritage HQ in Dallas.

I went through my own cards long ago and donated most to Goodwill, but others here gave me boxes of cards, and I am pulling HOFers, stars (Griffey Jr., Bo Jackson, Clemens, etc.), interesting people the kids might relate to (Jim Abbott, Dave Dravecky, etc.), and local Mavericks, Rangers, Cowboys and Stars. I also had tons of Starting Lineups, mint in the package, and will give every child one of those, plus I found a lot of extra autographed 8x10's to give everyone one. Also an autographed card for each kid. Then they get a whole box of HOFers, stars, and RCs. Then Panini provides boxes and we will play pack wars and give away other prizes.

I doubt children's hospitals want a bunch of 5000 ct boxes of junk cards anymore, but if you are willing to donate your time to help the kids learn about collecting, I find them very helpful and willing to welcome you. The common commons... just dump at Goodwill. But pull the interesting cards.

If anyone has anything they want me to bring to the kids, please PM me and I'll give you an address. We don't have any vintage cards yet.

Thanks!
