Cards for Military Kids @CFMKOfficial

One of the coolest things about the card collecting community is how many people still remember the excitement of opening packs as kids. Now we're helping a whole new generation experience that same feeling.

The hobby talks a lot about rookie cards, parallels and value. Kids have a much simpler system: “That’s my favorite player.” Sometimes I think they understand collecting better than the rest of us.

A card doesn’t have to be rare or valuable to matter—sometimes it just has to land in the hands of the right kid at the right time.

Huge donation came in, we can finally get out of the garage!

A donated box on my floor gets sorted, packed, and shipped to a classroom hundreds of miles away. Donated cards, never sold, helping military kids. Have cards to give? Message me.

If you could hand your 10-year-old self one pack of cards from any year and any sport, what are you giving them?

I still think about the one card I owned as a kid that I’d never trade away. What’s yours? Reply with the card’s story and a photo: I’d love to see it!

After you rip a box, those base cards aren't worthless. They just haven't met the right kid yet. I sort them into classroom rewards for military kids. $3/month on Patreon helps me ship cards nationwide.

A pretty big step for Cards for Military Kids! We are officially registered with the State of North Carolina as a nonprofit organization. We're still waiting on the IRS for our 501(c)(3) determination, so we're not there quite yet, but we're getting closer.

We’ve officially reached the point where my garage is losing the battle. Cards, boxes, packing supplies, outgoing shipments—it’s all starting to outgrow the space we have. It’s a good problem to have, but Cards for Military Kids is going to need a home sooner than later.

@d27milly Life happens we get it. Hope you getting better soon!

Yep, even the autos go to kids!

What’s one card you remember owning as a kid that you’d recognize instantly if you saw it today?

Cards are coming in by the millions. The challenge is getting them back out the door. Just $3 a month helps us ship donated cards to schools serving military kids across the country. Patreon.com/cardsformilita…

If you want to support the mission, consider becoming a subscriber on Patreon, that is the sole source of revenue we have to send cards out to classrooms. Patreon.com/cardsformilita…

We’ve got the donations. Now we need help getting them where they need to go. This is just one week of cards, and shipping is quickly becoming the biggest challenge. Patreon.com/cardsformilita…

Great idea!!!

Sometimes the best part of sorting cards is imagining the classroom where they’ll end up and which kid is going to spot their favorite player first.

A card that’s been sitting forgotten in someone’s closet for years can end up being the reason a military-connected kid has a really good day at school.

Some of these cards have spent 20 years sitting in a box, and now they’re finally getting pulled out again by a kid who thinks they’re the coolest thing in the world.
