Ronald McDonald House turned me down. Little League does not want any unknown adults hanging around the kids. My kids are adults and never wanted them.

So, where do others donate their lower value cards?

Trick or Treat?

Seems like your only 2 choices. Do it again, rinse & repeat as needed.

For Halloween you can put together bags of cards for the kids. Some will label you 'the mean house with no candy', but some will love the cards and will remember you forever. I did cards and/or comics when I had my office and didn't want to have some parent sue me for giving their kid with a peanut allergy a Reese's or Snickers.

Thanks for the Halloween suggestion. I still itemize on my tax return and was hoping to get the donation deduction, but knowing a kid is smiling is worth more.

Yeah, the trick is to find kids that want them, and the treat is for the US Post Office when shipped! LOL

Thanks for the suggestion.

I have taken 10s of thousands of cards to my local children's hospital over the years. So there's one more option.

Too bad the closest one is 75 miles away...thanks for the suggestion.

Crossed my mind but assumed the chances of getting those in the hands of kids is less likely.

I know, also give some to Children's hospital/hospital child section, but often they do not want very many and I open a lot of wax..

Someone on here said they just throw them away..so either way they are out of the house..

Selling bulk cards is ok if you have a local pick up..like Craig's list..but not much $$ to be made or break even...$5 Monster box..$50 in bulk cards at .05-.10 each and sell it for $5..might as well throw them away..last time I had a yard sale..I had 50 Monster boxes from the last 8 years for $5 ea and sold ZERO! Gave those to Goodwill.
