Cardboard That Cares
WELCOME
Cardboard That Cares is a new non-profit organization dedicated to taking in unwanted sports cards and memorabilia and donating the proceeds to local veterans and pet rescue shelters
Who We Are...
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to taking in donations of unwanted sports cards (and non-sports cards!) and memorabilia and turning them into profit used to help military veterans and pet rescue facilities. Check out the "About" page to learn about why we want to help our vets and pets.
How Does it Work?
Our mission is to receive donations of any type of sports cards, non-sports cards and/or memorabilia. We'll take in what we can get and we'll turn these donations into cash by finding them a good, new home. We're not expecting to receive any 1952 Topps Mickey Mantles as a donation (although we are fine if we do).
More information...
What are we looking for?
-
Are you a dealer with some excess inventory you don't want to deal with any more? We'll take them!
-
Are you someone who doesn't collect but has a handful of cards of well loved cards from childhood? We'll take them!
-
Have your kids have left home and don't want those boxes of Pokemon cards in the basement any more? We'll take them!
-
Are you a card breaker that doesn't know what to do with all the extra commons? We'll take them!
Any of these would be treasures to us - so send them our way! We would love to receive them.
Logistics
-
Sending us cards is as simple as filling in our Donor Submission form and including with your cards, or email us the form. Please email us first so we know what is coming our way.
-
The form asks for estimated value of the donation - just use your best guess here. If you don't know, leave it blank and we can estimate. Acknowledgement letters will be sent for all donations so you can make sure your cards have arrived safely.
-
We are an IRS-certified Section 501(c)(3) not profit organization, so any donations are eligible to be tax-deductible.
-
We accept cash donations as well. Paypal option is available now, but we're working on other payment forms.
-
We're based on the East Coast, but we want to hear from people across the country. We offer a No/Low shipping cost option. For any cards you mail to us, you have the option to get your shipping costs refunded to you (up to actual shipping costs or up to 25% of estimated value of the donation). Or you have the option of just paying the shipping yourself and then all proceeds will go towards our causes.
-
Donors can choose from one of our four primary charitable causes (military veterans, hospital care, education or food security).
-
We will set up at a few card shows per year and accept drop offs of donations.
So let us help clear out those old boxes of cards sitting in your basement and turn that into positive experiences for those that are in need of help.
Until we get everything up and running, email is the best way to contact us. Please contact us at cardboardthatcares@gmail.com with any questions or if you have any donations ready for us.
