I work at a summer sports camp for limb different athletes. Each year kids submit a list of their favorite athletes/teams and I put together a grab bag of cards for them. In the past I have used COMC (never seem to have a lot of luck on eBay) to fill these lists, but with a growing camp enrollment .40-.60 per base card is stretching the budget. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Suggestions for buying bulk

Who or what teams/players are you looking for? Are you only looking for baseball? How many cards do you need? I may be able to help out with some. Let me know.

There are complete sets of Topps or Bowman cards on eBay for a reasonable price shipped. COMC changed their policies so the days of 30-cent cards are a thing of the past.
If you provided a 501©(3) name, address and EIN you might be able to get some donations of cards headed that way.

It is a national camp so teams/player requests vary. I usually try to get each kid 25-30 cards each.

I just pulled 392 football cards from 2013 thru 2018 to send your organization to hand out to the kids. The Beckett value is around $300.
You can perhaps expect them at the end of next week.

PM Sent.
Everybody, I just sent about $275 worth of cards to this nonprofit kids' camp. I encourage you to look at doing this type of thing during 2019 for local or national nonprofits serving kids. The hobby needs to keep going with the next generation! |
