Just a little Idea I had. Im sure everyone of you has been watching the news lately and knows whats going on in japan. Afte the earthquake and the tsunami the extend of the catastrophe is something even the news can just slowly wrap their head around. And with the weather turning worse and worse and food stll running out It seems like its getting worse by the minute. Even hospitals run out of supply.
So what can we do? Youve probably know about the various ways to donate money:

So my idea is that, with states running right now we could try to collect money by selling states prizes and stuff, I definintly know I dont even need cards right now and it just seems like a good thing to do. Maybe we could collect the ebay links and try to spread the word and making something out of it? Giving people the opportunity to get some new cards while also donating money? Maybe even selling other spare cards? I have tons of them and If I can sell some to gain some money to donate Im more then wlling to do so.
Just a few ideas I had in my head, please let me know what you think about it. Ill definitly do this but if other people join in I might make a big thread about it and spread the word on other boards / facebook / etc etc.
I really think this is a great and easy way to collect money for those who really need it right now, and its also somewhat bit symbolic. I think we all have been influenced by japanese culture quite a bit here and at least I am super thankful for that and what pokemon has done for me, and paying a small part back in a situation like this in such a way just seems like a good think to do.
Maybe its a stupid idea but after watching the news all day for the last week I think that maybe we can get something going here.
Please let me know what you think about it =)
