I realize some people have came here Lying about things-you know who you are G**Y. But I am asking for a favor from you all. My sister is a teacher in a inner city school in Cincinnati-it is a charter school which means the parents of these kids care whether or not they learn. I gave my sis a stack of Bball cards - all I had actually-about 30 or so- all good ones mostly from the early 80's i.e. shaq's kobes MJ's ect. I got these as part of a collection I bought a few years back and they were collecting dust. She uses these as incentives for the kids when they get A's ect. What is funny I asked her if she wanted any baseball cards and she told me her kids don't watch/play/care about baseball at all. All they care about is basketball and football.I have some football to give her in- fact I am giving her a auto Chad Johnson card for her to give out as a prize to the most improved student at the end of the year. The kids are pumped! There is only one card shop in Downtown Cincinnati so most of these kids have not ever seen sports cards at all. Any help here would be appreciated. I promise this is on the up and up. My ebay id is Deadmike247 in case you are wondering if I am a scammer like G**y. Please, any Basketball cards collecting dust or waiting to be taken to the dump ect would be appreciated. Thanks for the help. Mike

    If baseball is ok shoot me a PM and I can send some cards out.

    In fact, even if baseball ISNT ok too bad, shoot me a PM anyhow...any respectable American kid should be interested in baseball !

    I dunno I offered to give her a few Griffeys and she said the kids never talk about baseball at ALL! What a shame.I suppose it is because of lack of places to play. So I guess I am mostly looking for Bsktball.I have some football to give-my Bengals doubles ect but I haven't bought a pack of basketball since 1989. Mike

    I'll send you some bball along with your package. Did you read my pm?

    I just went through one of my binders and grabbed about 30 modern basketball cards. Is this too much or too little?

    Hey Goot. Yes I just did. I am glad you liked the cards.That Dale Murphy card was hidden in a box I haven't looked at in years. Take care, Mike

    Is it too late to still donate? I've got some cards I'll give her, including a Kobe PSA 8 Topps RC. PM the information.
    Thanks.

    Yes. this a cheap bump. With that said, I spoke to my sis today and she was happy when I told her about this place. I asked her to surprise the kids and not tell them nothing. Also I did ask her to have her kids( 5th/6th graders) write you all thank you letters. Peace out. Mike

    Mike- I'm sending the cards out on Monday via USPS priority mail, so keep an eye out for a small, brown box.

    Mike,

    If you still need some football and basketball cards, PM me the address and I'll send some. I think I've even got some womens basketball cards I can send along for the girls. Jay Wolt (Quality cards) sent my kids a huge box of assorted cards last year when he was moving locations. We've still got quite a few of those cards leftover, plus I've got some newer football cards from a couple of sets I was playing with. I'd love to "pay it forward" and share some with other kids.
