I’ve collected sports cards since 1988. Most of my collection is worthless, but my 89 Upper Deck Griffey, Billy Ripken FF error, and Jordan stickers are still some of my favorite possessions.

I’m now a 47-year-old tech CEO in Utah, but I still love the hobby. Another thing I care deeply about is helping foster kids.

One thing foster kids often lose is a sense of ownership. At any moment, they may have to leave their home and belongings behind. I’ve been thinking for a while about how to combine these two passions and help kids build collections that feel personal and truly theirs.

Last week we hosted our first trading night with Utah Foster Care, Will Hardy, and Overtime Cards. We helped 20 kids start collections, trade cards, rip packs, and just experience the hobby. It was honestly a really special night.

Now we want to do something much bigger.

We’re organizing a larger card drive and trading event for foster youth here in Utah. If you’re local and want to participate, trade with kids, or donate cards, we’d love the help.

One request: please don’t send junk wax base cards nobody wants. These kids like the same stuff we all do. Steph, LeBron, Wemby, Ant, Pokémon, cool inserts, lower-end slabs, fun cards in top loaders, etc.

If you have cards sitting around that you’d never grade or cards that came back a PSA 6 or 7 and you don’t care about anymore, those are perfect.

A few weeks ago we hosted a card trading night for foster kids in Utah and it turned into something really special.

A lot of these kids are starting collections from scratch, and seeing them get excited about cards, trade with each other, and open packs was honestly incredible.

We’re now trying to expand this into a larger ongoing card drive for foster youth and are looking for donations of cards that kids would genuinely be excited about collecting. Pokémon has been one of the biggest hits so far.

Not looking for ultra high-end stuff at all. Just fun cards, cool holos, V cards, EX/GX cards, favorite Pokémon, duplicates sitting in binders, etc. Things that would help a kid feel excited to build a collection of their own.

If anyone would like to contribute, feel free to message me and I can share details.

Thanks everyone.
