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
