Does anyone know what hospitals might take in card donations? Are there certain criteria for the cards? Does anyone know who I would try and talk to at a hospital to see if they would take them? Just curious if anyone had done this and how you went about finding out who to donate them to and how to handle the handoff of these cards?

Not sure about hospitals, but I know I have used cards as rewards for reading goals in elementary schools. That might be another option especially for inner city schools and reluctant boy readers.Favorite baseball players include: Mike Schmidt, Steve Carlton, Kirby Puckett, Pete Rose, Tyler Colvin Mark Appel
Favorite football players include: Peyton Manning, John Elway, Daunte Culpepper, Mike Alstott, Blake Bortles, and Dri Archer
Collecting: 2012 Topps Mini 1987 topps... non-certified autos (in person or through the mail), autographed cards with bible verses -
That is an interesting idea. I know some teachers for sure that might be able to use that tactic.

I've been donating cards to our local little league for the past 2 years. It has spurred some interest in the hobby around these parts.
