If Brian's idea does not work or pan out, option "D" works best.

C) COMC is an awful idea for this, and that's coming from the biggest COMC homer on this board.
Say there's 10,000 cards in that tub, it would cost you probably $100 to mail it to Washington and then $2,500 to add them to your account. So if you can't sell the box for $10 on craigslist, I'm not sure how you'd turn a profit with $2,600 invested...

If you are going to donate cards to a childrens hospital, donate some decent cards, not a bunch of junk. Give them some current cards with players that are recognizable to them.

I have never sold on COMC, and this is exactly the advice I was looking for. I wasn't sure if COMC would be best for this situation. Thank you.


As to others saying donate them, any other suggestions along with the Children's Hospital and Salvation Army?

Will a children's hospital take a box of thousands of 1990 cards? Me ex-wife works at a pediatrician's office and she said they would have no interest.

In the past, I was able t o find a neighborhood boy and my cousin's son who both took large amounts of cards and was quite happy about it.
