I have no artistic skill, but it sounds like you would like the bonfires I've been having.
Burning 80's-90's cards I guess? I couldn't do it, but getting rid of them in bunches is the only way they would ever be worth something in the future. I like less evil approaches like the art work shown here or handing them out to kids in school or at Halloween.

I figure the latter works well two ways. Either you get future collectors, or the cards just get thrown out/ruined by the kids. If you can get some hooked by giving a pile of 50-100 cards that are twice as old as them, then that helps the hobby. I know I would have loved that when I was a kid, but I started collecting when I was five.
