RE: Over 3,000 cards to the garbage can!
I just took about that many to the Goodwill. At least then I don't have to be the one to throw them away LOL

RE: Over 3,000 cards to the garbage can!
I cannot remember if I had mentioned that previous to the garbage I had taken over 2,500 to Goodwill. I imagine they ended up in someone's back seat.

RE: Over 3,000 cards to the garbage can!
When I had waaay too many cards, every other month or so I would go through a monster box and organize by year, then by team, then took them to my local goodwill. I went through all that effort in the hopes that they would actually sell them and not throw them away. I have no idea if that actually happened, though!
If you live in SoCal, you should check out Burbank Cards - with their new location open, they're able to appeal to set builders and player/team collectors. They might be interested in buying!
