basketball commons, what to do
I have around 150-200 basketball commons and inserts ranging from the early to mid 90s that I've had for many years now and I don't know what I should do with them. I have thought about tossing them out, but also am leaning towards keeping them for trading and selling. I don't think there are any big RCs or high end stuff in the lot, but there are some base cards of star players in the mix.
If anyone can help me decide what the best thing to do would be, I would appreciate it greatly. Thanks.

When you make a trade send out a few extra. I know it's not much but some people collect to build sets and would appreciate them.

Maybe you can wait to have kids or nephews and teach them to collect and enjoy the hobby starting by giving them those cards. That's what I'm doing with my nephew, so far only a daughter and she doesn't like cards yet.

I'm sure I can find some Pistons cards in the mix for you.

I have two boys and they are very young. I'm trying to get them into baseball cards and have already given them a bunch of old minor league cards and some 80s commons, but they don't fully understand the concept of it yet.

Collect Patrick Ewing, Jalen Rose, Kevin Garnett, LaMarcus Aldridge, Jeff Green
if you have less than 25 trades, I will ask you to send first.

lmk which ones via pm. Most of the base I need for Ewing is from 97-98 onwards. I don't need a single card of his (except for his XRC and 92-93 Hoops AU) from 1986-87 - 1992-93. Well, I need some of the panini stuff....
