Some hospitals and charities won't take accumulations of cards. I used to donate cards to the childrens hospital at County USC hospital here in L.A. They first demanded that the cards be boxed up a certain way [clean new 600 count boxes], then finally told me they were swamped and didn't want any more unless it was unopened original material.
I tried to sell modern cards at a garage sale. I put out two "shoeboexes" at $20 each, took $20 for the pair and was happy to get it.
I tried them at a local card show where I set up for a day. No one even looked through them. I did business all day from my vintage junk boxes but the shiny crap was like kryptonite.
