As a follow-up to the $50 eBay challenge ( https://theathletic.com/1821349/2020/05/19/the-50-ebay-challenge/">https://theathletic.com/1821349/2... — I AM WINNING THE FAN VOTE, BY THE WAY), I& #39;m going to flip some of these items for charity. All proceeds go to @RESCUEorg:
First up: & #39;92 NBA Hoops Michael Jordan card (Dream Team): https://www.ebay.com/itm/Michael-Jordan-1992-NBA-Hoops-Dream-Team-sharp-corners/233594991593">https://www.ebay.com/itm/Micha...

Keeping it in All-Time Greats and 1992, here& #39;a s & #39;92 Ken Griffey Jr. Starting Lineup figurine. Box has been opened, inner contents have not: https://www.ebay.com/itm/233595067973">https://www.ebay.com/itm/23359...
Third: an 8x10 of Ricky Ledee mounted on a wooden plaque. Why does this exist? I HAVE NO IDEA but I included some suggestion in the details on how you might use it. https://www.ebay.com/itm/233594996270">https://www.ebay.com/itm/23359...
And lastly (for today) — a 693-card lot, including a 1959 Fleer Ted Williams, some unopened "The Rookies" sets, some other sets that *are* opened and picked over, 7 packs of 1994 Flair and 15 packs of 1999 Topps Opening Day baseball cards. https://www.ebay.com/itm/233595092143">https://www.ebay.com/itm/23359...
I& #39;ll do four of these per day til I run out of stuff, and I& #39;ll try to spread the charity love around, picking a different one each day, since Lord knows there are a lot of people who could use the help right now.
Three listings today, all going to benefit @FeedingAmerica. We start with a 1959 Ted Williams PSA-6 “Ted’s Goals For 1959” card. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575378759&campid=5338273189&customid=&icep_item=233596317906&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg&toolid=11111">https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/7...
A bunch of magazines, including the infamous BURT HOOTON signature on the Nolan Ryan magazine. Bids start at a dollar. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575378759&campid=5338273189&customid=&icep_item=233596309371&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg&toolid=11111">https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/7...
And lastly for today, just a gaggle of vaguely collectible stuff. Wheaties boxes, limited edition oversized Dan Marino cards, some pins…? This is officially the ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Lot. http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575378759&campid=5338273189&customid=&icep_item=233596295994&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg&toolid=11111">https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/7...
You can now own the mysteryball, along with some McGwire bobbleheads, an unopened Sammy Sosa bag of peanuts, and a Zack Greinke giveaway jersey I found outside Minute Maid stadium in, I think, 2018(?)
All proceeds to Feeding America http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575378759&campid=5338273189&customid=&icep_item=233597128332&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg&toolid=11111">https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/7...

Ok obviously this would have to be 2019, since Zack Greinke did not pitch for the Astros in 2018.
The pandemic has picked up my comprehension of time and twisted it around like salt water taffy. I hope this all passes before the 1974 season is cancelled and repurposed as 2051

While I was selling the $50 eBay challenge stuff, I decided to get rid of a few other things, so I’ll add to this thread as I go. First up: a White Sox stadium giveaway jersey. 100% of sale price goes to Greater Chicago Food Depository. https://www.ebay.com/itm/233598174060">https://www.ebay.com/itm/23359...
Today’s offering, benefiting the Greater Boston Food Bank, is a Ted Williams package that includes a hardback version of his 2004 biography by Leigh Montville, and 2 cards from the 1959 Fleer Ted Williams set http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575378759&campid=5338273189&customid=&icep_item=233599534798&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg&toolid=11111">https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/7...
Here& #39;s a catch-all spreadsheet with all the links. We& #39;ve got Michael Jordan cards, a few different memorabilia lots, some stadium-giveaway jerseys… All of it still at pretty affordable prices & and all of it goes to benefit charity. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1RX8WR_jvS6lHznL5hbS51eE4XOyhOxfPLGQG5aqJ05c/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/spreadshe...
This doesn& #39;t all have to come from me, now that I think of it.
If you want to auction a piece of sports memorabilia for charity, go ahead and put it up on eBay, choose the "100% to charity" option, pick a charity and DM me the link — I& #39;ll add it to the spreadsheet.

Okay this is how I cope with frustration at greed: MORE CHARITY! This Mark Jackson card has the Menendez brothers on it (!!) Let’s use it to benefit the Food Bank for NYC http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575378759&campid=5338273189&customid=&icep_item=233600784049&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg&toolid=11111">https://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/7...
Last one tonight: 12 team-giveaway pins (uhhh, without backs, sorry), commemorating some of the great moments in Texas Rangers history. This lot goes to benefit Don Wakamatsu& #39;s @TheWakWay Foundation. http://ebay.us/zhuDJb?cmpnId=5338273189">https://ebay.us/zhuDJb...

Ok Twins fans, your turn. A never-used tumbler from Target Field (2018), plus Puckett + Mauer + a Brian Harper autograph that 12-year-old me was super excited to get.
100% of proceeds go to the Minnesota Freedom Fund, and I will match the sale price, up to $100.00

Hey so I’m the midst of all this turmoil I just want to say thank you. You guys have thus far raised over $375 (75 in non-eBay sales) for various charities.
Love you people.
Love you people.
All told, counting @TepidP’s contribution last night, we have raised over $1,000 for 13 charities ($1,009.94). Still have three auctions live (“Triple J” basketball cards / Twins lot / Rangers autograph lot) and there will be more to come.
This is the last currently-active eBay package (but I’ll be putting up more soon). We’re currently already over $1,000 total to various charities. https://www.ebay.com/itm/233606839348">https://www.ebay.com/itm/23360...
