What to do with 80's and 90's cards?

[Buythatcard]

When I first started in the business of selling cards, I purchased over 100,000 cards from that time period. Didn't know much about the value of cards back then. I paid very little for it and thought I would make a killing. After a few weeks, I realized that these cards were worthless to an investor.
I had a friend who was a pediatric oncologist at the local hospital. I asked him whether any of the kids would enjoy having these cards. He said they would.

So, I donated all the cards to the hospital. Knowing that this made some sick child happy made it all worth it to me.

I still have mine, just plan on keeping them and looking through them when I'm old and bored. It would be nice if some people started destroying them to thin out the population for us savers, but donating them is also good. Handing them out at Halloween is also a good idea, maybe get some new collectors out of it.

I still have my childhood collection, which fortunately was not that large. I love going through my old binder and looking at the cards I "carefully" placed in there as a kid. I don't have any plans to get rid of them as it brings back memories every time I go through them

My brother just picked up about 50,000 80s/90s cards for me so that I could flip through them and relive some memories. For those, I really don't have any attachment. I will likely hold on to some of my favorite players and donate the rest, if someone will even take them. I'm assuming I would be able to find someone on Craigslist that would pick them up. Either way, I'm looking forward to going through "new" cards.

I have tossed most of the commons.

I finished my Topps sets from 1986 to 1995 for the most part. I gave some to the Childrens Hospital (when they were still accepting them) in Boston. The rest of my cards from the late 80's (86-89), I threw away about 8,000 of them.

Im really a combo vote, i do still have alot, and i did toss some out cause i needed room and i did donate some.

Easy. Ship them to the auction house of your choice (on their dime) and auction them as a large lot.

Had them up to 3 years ago. Had a dumpster in the driveway for remodeling, threw them all in, probably about 100,000 worthless cards. Had 5 unopened 1987 topps vendor cases in there, couldn't give em away or get anyone to buy them even for postage cost.
