What to do with Prestige commons
I'm fairly new to breaking boxes and love the excitement of ripping wax but now I have a ton of cards that seem to have little or no value. The storage of the commons is the biggest issue as the 800 count boxes fill up quick and take a ton of room.
Anyone have suggestions on what to do with the commons from their box breaks? Any help is greatly appreciated.

Sell them on the bay and offer free shipping. Granted, I only list about 10-15 players (Mannings, Brady, Rodgers, Foster, Stafford, Hester etc)...depending on the set. If you list at like $1.49-1.99 or Best offer with free shipping, and then simply ship in a plain white envelope, it allows you to recoup some of the money you spent, while getting rid of some of the base cads you don't want.
I know that some card shows will actually buy some monster boxes from you. Granted, it's only for about $10-$15...but it is something.
Always looking for New England Patriots, Boston Red Sox, Boston Celtics, Aaron R
odgers, Greg Jennings, Calvin Johnson, Percy Harvin and Frank Gore!
Autos and #
'd RCs are nice too!

I will tell you what I do. I buy the cardboard boxes and put them in there. When I have enough for a flat-rate box I label it all up and it's shipped to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital in Nashville. So if I were you I'd contact the local volunteer services at your closest children's hospital. Who better to enjoy them than the kiddos...might be a future trading partner of yours one day. That's just my 2 cents.

I need the rookies if you want to trade them or sell as a lot.
