Admit it. The quarters and dimes are hard to get used to.

I stopped using change when we had a few incidents where not all the coins could be accounted for. I'm strictly a paper currency man now. The makeup of the new hundred dollar bills is a dead ringer for two-ply Charmin.

C'mon Matt.....with your wife's profession of being an MD I am sure she could find those coins for you .

Anyone want to make a bid to see how high he went? you can always retract by saying you just realized they were fake. Ebay can't fault you for that response.

I love it when they end up giving themselves good feedback and then a month later have to pay $50 Ebay fees.

I would be afraid ebay would hold me to it!
Funny that the shipping is worth more than the cards!
No idea how much the wooden box is worth.

..and much less risk of accidentally poking through the toilet paper

Jeff and I were talking about this when he visited me last weekend.
Over the years, I've given huge boxes of cards to local hospitals, orphanages, etc.., However, the places here in Metro-Boston no longer will take them!
A second way to dispose of bulk cards is to give them directly to the players on them. This way the player has cards for his fans/friends in a good amount.

The issue we have at hand is the hundreds of thousands of bulk cards from the 80's/90's that do not sell. Even the kids around here only want new players they know in most cases.

As for the low grade poor shape cards, they have some value to collectors.

The primary focus is the bulk 80's/90's cards that we all have!

I honestly believe that they printed so much of those years that a demand may never happen. Just my opinion.

We could solve our energy crisis right now if we burned all of the 80s-90s cards out there. Honestly, it's not the worst thing in the world to do with them

Sometimes when I buy lots, I save the much lower graded ones and then put them in a nice frame. I take that frame with about 12 or so cards (sometimes 10, or 8, depending on the frame) and for the last two summers I have given them away as a silent auction item for the Alzheimer's Association, held in San Francisco.

I feel foolish that I've been a member of this forum for what feels like 10 years now and I never realized low grade cards like T206s are collectible. I normally just toss them when they aren't at least a 3.
