[IBL] IBL Card Printing/Sorting as Baseball Trip Fundraiser

[genny]

Hi all - Hope all is well.  Just circling back on below with the 2015
card-set release approaching with the inevitability of....well, it's a
matter of weeks and no longer months!

Still planning to do the below, so if you are busier than expected in the
coming weeks and would like the printing and cutting logistics, printing
pickup, and sorting of all 24 teams taken care of for you (and we'll
organize each team in 24 separate, labeled envelopes and work to send to
you absolutely ASAP after card release), let me know.

Thanks much to Doug, Alex, Jocelyn, and Brent for ordering,
supporting, and/or the words of support for the effort.  It's all sincerely
appreciated.  And thanks to everyone for tolerating the notion and the
emails!

- David
