Hi everyone - I hope this finds you all well. I am sending this message again to the Michigan Library list. I have finally gotten some cards together for a number of libraries and sent them out this week. I still have a lot of cards at home, so if there are libraries out there that could use these, please let me know. Spring training has started in earnest, warmer temperatures are on their way....I hope. Best - Corey On Fri, Jan 24, 2014 at 6:39 AM, Corey Seeman <cseeman@umich.edu> wrote:
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.
