Many of us, myself included, never got a chance to meet Landen Palatino.
But if you have been around the hobby, hopefully you’ve heard his story and his amazing friendship with Brady Kahle.
Landen passed away on Sunday, August 27 at the age of 9 from brain cancer. He was first diagnosed in early 2016.
And while this is a time to mourn, it’s also an opportunity to remember Landen’s journey and the good that has come from it.

Tragedy and hardship are often when we show our true selves. When Brady heard that Landen was diagnosed with cancer, he wanted to help. Aged nine at the time, he started selling his baseball cards to raise money for Landen’s family. Cards4ACause was born.

But the interest in baseball cards would reach a fever pitch by 1988, which would mark the first year since 1981 that a new manufacturer would enter the fold.
