Long shot/Advice - onoxxxregretso - 05-28-2013
Hey guys I know this is a long shot, but I wanted to ask here first.
I have an abundance of early to mid 90's stuff. As in 7 full or almost full 90-91 Score, 8 full to almost full sets of 94-95 Pinnacle and SP plus a ton of UD and Score from different years.
Is there anyone interested in anything from that time? It's all in my org. I need to clear up some space and I'm organizing everything and realizing how much I have that I don't want.
The second part - what do you guys do with unwanted cards. I don't want to just throw them away but I don't know of anywhere in my area who takes cards to give out to kids or anything. I've seen them at Salvation Army before so I guess that's an option, but I really don't want to just toss them.
I'm also going to post on Facebook and see if any of my friends on there want them. I have a lot of teammates from men's leagues with young children so I figured that's worth a shot as well.
Thanks.

Check with a local kid's hospital or YMCA to see if they accept cards as a donation. Also the local rink as you suggested might be an option.

I could be wrong but I don't think kids are really interested in hockey cards that feature players that are no longer in the league. At least that is my experience with my nephews.

Well I guess I'll ask my teammates and if they don't want them I will post it on Twitter and Facebook and see what happens.
I have seen 90's cards at Salvation Army so thats always a better option than just tossing them.
Thanks to those of you who responded.

I have seen some at garage sales. I've seen young kids get really excited for cards (older ones too). Put like 100 cards in a bag for $1.00 or $2.00.

Have you tried? http://Commons4Kids.org
I know they helped me when I got a ton of stuff and I was able to donate to a place somewhat close to me...
I love the 90's stuff but space is a big reason why i dont pick up bulk lots anymore like I use to (and also $ too)
hope that helps
