Hi everyone -
I have a mostly off-topic question to ask out to my library colleagues across the state.
I have a large collection of baseball cards, the bulk of which were from the 1980s and early 1990s. These have been in boxes in my house and I have moved them a few times. In all reality, I am going to keep a relatively small number (mostly Tigers and Mets. Mets? yeah - it is a character flaw - I know, I know - but please cut some slack to this Jersey Boy!). What I am hoping to find are some homes for the majority of cards.
The cards from the late 1980s and 1990s have relatively little collectible value as they were mass-produced at high levels. But they might have some real value for libraries as giveaways during youth programs, etc. I love them, but in the spirit of clearing out stuff at home, thought this might be a good win-win situation.
I am not looking to sell the ones I want to part with, just find a better home. If anyone is interested, I can provide more details. As it is, I need to go through them and figure out what I want to keep. Even though I do want to keep the Tigers, I have a ton of them - so that would be good.
If you are interested or would like more information, please write me at
cseeman@umich.edu.
Best wishes and stay warm out there.
Best - Corey
P.S. I will even send them to Yankee fans, though I will do so grudgingly.
