Default What To Do With Cards From the 80s and 90s?

I have approximately 25,000 cards from the 60's through the mid 90's (baseball, football, basketball). 90% from 1986-1994, HOFers, stars, commons, complete sets, etc. My boys had a good time going through and picking out most of the Cleveland players (as I said, the stars are still in there; oh those wonderful Cleveland teams of the 80s...).

I don't imagine they are worth their weight to ship anywhere. Anyone have any suggestions of how I can get some value for them? I was thinking of bringing them to the Ohio Card Collector's Convention today, but wasn't sure how I'd manage to bring them in and shop them around.

I'm facing the same situation. My fiancee and I are having a yard sale soon and I think I will try to move them there.

Default Flea Market

Go to a large flea market and try to get $50+ for all of them. Most dealers at a show will automatically turn you away on cards from this era as they don't want to be bogged down with the stuff. Cards from the 60s-70s of course is a diff ball of wax, sell them here or on eBay. Might try Craigslist for the 80-90s stuff.

1) Buy a paper shredder.

2) Find all of the commons from the 1980's and 1990's and put them in a separate pile.

3) When watching your favorite baseball team, if they do something which upsets you, grab a handful of commons and shred them.

4) When you have a garbage bag full of shredded cards, take them to a paper recycling bin and donate them.

This way, you get rid of cards probably nobody else wants, you get to take out your baseball frustrations and relieve stress AND you get to help the environment out also.

Just my two cents,

David

Default Cards

I just gave 2 huge boxes of 90's stuff to a local church that was looking for items for a charity drive. Their flyer had sports cards/ comics listed on it (as well as clothes/furniture other items). They where exicited, even thought they werent worth anything. They said they would divide them into smaller groups and give away to local kids in need of assistance.

I stuck a few handfuls of the stars in the attic and walls. Perhaps in a hundred years...
