Looking for a some Cardinals cards for a young man battling cancer

Have you thought of taking this more national? If you get the word out through social media, maybe people from across the country could start sending this brave little guy cards, etc., through the mail. It would certainly add excitement for him as the mail comes in each day. Of course, the parents may not want their address out there, or a PO box could be established? Food for thought. Great luck!

I posted here and on Collectors Universe Forums. I truly don't think there is a more generous group of people than cards collectors. I think if I reached out on a bigger area, he might be so overwhelmed, lol. I too thought about just having cards delivered directly to him as mail is always fun for kids to get. I just didn't want to put their address out there without asking. Also, this way I can thank each and every person for their generosity!
Thanks to everyone for their responses so far!!

My kids (9&11) and I have a lot of about 1,000 Cardinals from the mid 1980's to the mid 1990's. If you think Tyler would enjoy them - pm me the address to send them to.

Tim,

What is the address?

Thanks,

Would the young man be interested in a Cardinals 1952 Topps Billy Johnson?

PM me your info and I'll try my best to get it out within the next 2-3 days if you think he would?

Wow, the responses here and at CU have been amazing! I really appreciate everyone's generosity. I'm sure he will love and of the cards he gets. I have been pulling out old stuff, new stuff and anything Cardinals I can find in my stash. Hoping he has fun sorting thru stuff and learning about some of the older players that he has never heard of. I know some people wanted to send stuff direct but I didn't feel great giving out their address. I have provided my address to folks who have asked but what I thought about was that if anyone who wants to send something, can send it to the address below but addressed to him. That way I will give them all to him unopened and he can have a few fun "mail days"! I told his mom today I was working on "something" for him. She's a bit of a clean freak and doesn't like clutter. I told her too bad, lol. Anyhow, thank you all so much for your responses, messages, contributions and well wishes!!
