Thousands of Cards to Charity to Start 2012
All my spare hockey cards are packed up to donate to charity tomorrow! This is why I am not trading cards - I have none left! Spud

Haha! Good for you, Spud! I should get in touch with you again soon. I have a load that I would like to donate as well.

Hospitals and charities are usually happy to accept cards. Just check with them first to see how they prefer them to be packaged.
The Toronto Card Show is always happy to accept cards which we will team bag and pass out to kids or if you have common jersey cards and autos then we pass them out at the show. Try to keep it hockey and since 2005 so the kids are familiar with the players.

I agree. All of my cards are 2010-2012 and go to Boys and Girls Clubs and schools every year.

Wish there was a way we could all get our cards together and give them away.
I know shipping fees cost the most, and I live in a very remote area so I don't know who I could give cards to, but I would love to make some kids happy and get rid of all the extra stuff I dont need
