This gentleman may be a member of this site for all I know (Im still a newbie). Or there may have been a post regarding this in the past, and if so, I apologize.

Anyway, with all the good natured complaining I see about junk for the 90's etc... on this site - this may be a good avenue for one person's junk to become a treasure for a child.

Please Please Please read my profile before making a trade proposal. My "wants" for my Cardinals collection is accurate from 1900 - 2008. I still have about 12,000Plus Cardinals cards from 2009-present to sort through and enter. Please do not offer any Cardinals cards from 2008-present unless you contact me first as there is a chance I already have it amongst the multitude to still go through.

I still have about 30K Cardinals duplicates that are not yet entered in the database as FS/FT.

I have also heard off people donating large lots to hospitals (same purpose, to help cheer up kids). ------------------------------- -- Dan -- Note: Please see my profile for more info regarding trading (section updated 3/4/2024). I have added a large portion of my inventory to the site, and currently have trading turned on (details are in my profile).

I'd like to be one of those kids receiving that large stack of '71, '72, and '73 Topps baseball. There must be about 1200 cards in those 3 stacks.

I had read about a similar program for service men and women. It's a great idea!

Those cards will make a lot of kids happy though. They are the future of the hobby. I like to see them happy and stuff being put to good use ------------------------------- Collecting history one card at a time.
