the shipping and make a donation to the HSBBweb. The amount of the donation is up to you. Any takers?

Also I got a Hank Blalock autographed baseball from his first AS appearance. Same deal on that as well.

Maybe this is a good way to raise some money for our site?

And Julie let me know if this is Ok.

Wow, that's a great idea! Anyone want a signed autograph from a milb cardinals pitcher?

All kidding aside, great idea.

Maybe what we need to do is have everyone that wants to continue to put things up on this thread? I know there are alot of folks on this site that can offer up some neat and interesting items. And yes I would be very interested in a signed baseball from DK!

Ok, sounds good to me, make a donation and it's yours.
You want a card or bb?

OK, CM you are in charge, ask Julie, can we have a new forum on this?

I already got the card! lol
Baseball would be great. I will pm you with my address you probably dont have it anymore.

Any Steve Carlton fans out there? I got a great framed picture of Steve with several pictures in one.

One of my former players agents gave it to me a few years back. Very nice picture.

I mentioned this fundraising idea to Julie a few months ago when we were talking about the monthly cost to keep the site going.

I am sure folks out here have plenty of items to sell with perhaps 10% or so of the sales price being donated to the HSBBW site. I know I have plenty of coaching drills books, DVD's etc.

I think this would be a great venue for raising some cash for this great site.

This is a great idea! Any takers on a middle-aged man who is almost always corny, sometimes irritating, but has a heart of gold?

Who on earth is she talking about?

I rest my case. I've just lowered the price...

Play baseball,
I noticed he didn't put you up for sale....priceless!

I could use the net Coach. Mine has been patched to death and very weak. I have already donated 100 but could do more or donate a 399.00 new in the wrapper.

Sorry, I looked in the mirror and except for the heart of gold, it appears this household already has that item! The "heart of gold" must have been an upgrade on the model you have!

I don't have any sports memorabilia to donate, or even any sporting goods, but I'd be willing to donate 9 months of homemade cookies....(my oven doesn't turn on in summer, so that's why only 9 months...)

Well, donated in exchange for a donation to the hsbbw....

Types of cookies to be determined....

A new memeber donating 100, I say that man deserves a new batting cage net.

Sorry guys but Emanskis Heros took the net off the market about five minutes after I posted it last night. Sorry.

Coach May got me thinking about this ....

A way to create an income stream for HSBBW would be to have our own E-Bay store, and members could offer stuff up to sell on it. I can tell you I sure have stuff I'd be happy to sell and contribute the proceeds.

We'd need someone to agree to manage the store (post the items, descriptions and whatnot) and then when the money comes in, whoever sold it would have to ship it to the buyer.

Julie? What do you think?

Great idea Rob.

Is there an issue with taxes once this becomes a "business" as opposed to Joe Schmoe selling a glove?

Yes, I would imagine that any net income that is generated would have to be reported on Julie's tax return.

At some point it might make sense to incorporate as a non profit and apply for tax exemption.

I'd like to auction myself off for a dinner date with one of the ladies. OUCH! That hurt. Stop it honey. I was only kidding.

Coach May,

Are you getting my PMs? Just wanted to be sure you don't think I've run off
