Member Challenge - Donate to the Negro League Musem

[Rhotchkiss]

On a different thread, an apparent misunderstanding over an eBay transaction has resulted in several members making a $73.83 donation to the Negro League Museum. I am sure this museum, like most others, is suffering financially right now.

Here is the Challenge - donate $73.83 to the Negro League Museum and post your receipt here. Let’s see how much money we can raise. I think we can get at least 100 board members to donate.

Here is the link: https://nlbm.com/donations/

I have donated. Join the fun!

Fantastic idea Ryan

[commishbob]

From the original thread.

[Rhotchkiss]

Good morning bump. Come on Net54, be generous...

[t206kid]

Great idea! Done

[brass_rat]

I haven't been following the thread you refer to Ryan, but I like the idea of donating to this museum.

[Casey2296]

I'll donate a genuine 1967 Topps Mickey Mantle #17 to the next person that sends the Negro League Museum a donation of $73.83.

Condition of the card is poor, like the Museum.
small paper loss on the front and writing on the back (++ if your name begins with "G")

It'll make your heart feel good to do something for someone else.

Just let me know you want the card when you donate.

[mzljapan]

Cool idea Ryan.

Happy to contribute to the museum. My Dad and I visited when we were in KC to see a game a few years back. Wish we had more time to spend there that day. Gives me a reason to go back now.

My wife and I passed through KC a few years ago but we just couldn't fit in a visit to the museum and I really regret it. It's on my list of things I need to do once we decide to travel again.

[Rhotchkiss]

Nineunder71 made a donation and asked that I post it here. Thanks!!

I think we have at least 12- that’s 88 more minimum. Let’s keep’em coming.

This museum is probably thinking to itself, "What in the world is going on?"

I'm in.

[Gorditadogg]

Here is mine. (I initially posted on the original thread.)

[texmrsport]

Done. Great idea.

[commishbob]

Leon sez every post needs a card so here's one of my favorites from the new Negro League history set with artwork by Graig Kreindler.

[White Borders]

I grew up in KC and I'm happy to give a little back to a good cause

Looks like we are 18.... not bad, but well below goal.

Please try to give $73.83 to a good cause (that’s a McDonalds value meal - a mere $6.15/month - over a 12 month period)

[ALR-bishop]

I contributed yesterday

[Casey2296]

For the price of a 52 Topps PSA 5 Gus Zernial you can donate to the NLBM and help reach our goal of 100 donations.

What would be a better use of your $73.83?

[Rhotchkiss]

This thread has received 1500+ views and yet only 22 people have made a donation.

Ok, if you cant do $73.83, make a $5 donation. Literally, a measly $5, For the museum, its better than nothing and it would be great to let them know they are supported by a BASEBALL CARD FORUM

BTW, Leon, if you want to reach out to them and let them know about net54, I am sure the members (or at least this member) would be happy to support an advertising banner....

BTW - I have never been to this museum (let alone Kansas City), but I am sure this small establishment is having a very tough time staying afloat during this pandemic and so I feel I should help if I can. Please do the same

[KCRfan1]

When I lived in KC, I visited the museum many times. It is well worth your time to go and enjoy and learn the history of the Negro Leagues.

[BRoberts]

The hobby (not to mention the world) is a better place because of people like Rhotchkiss!

WE NEED MORE DONATIONS! Come on Net54 community.

[obcbobd]

Spent some time in KC for work a few years back, this and the WW I museum were two of the highlights

[Baseball Rarities]

Great, great cause.

[Casey2296]

Jackie Robinson made $32.20 per game.
A donation of $73.84 to the NLBM is equivalent to what Mr. Robinson got paid for 21 innings in 1947.
What did you pay for your last Jackie Robinson card?

[Rhotchkiss]

Am new to Net54baseball and a little late to this great NLBM donation idea but I love them both! I have already learned so much more about this hobby and community from this site and am glad to contribute to the museum - hope this helps keep them afloat to keep their great mission alive!

Got nice acknowledgement from Museum today. It mentions their appreciation for this 54 challenge effort

[jp1216]

I was able to see it in person last week. Well worth the $10 admission.
Obviously, COVID stuff makes visiting a museum a little difficult these days. Masks and spacing. Give yourself some extra time to enjoy.

Mine came today as well. Pretty neat to see N54 mentioned.

Nicely done by all that participated.
