I have 3 5000 count boxes. You know the drill, its all garbage. I had no luck giving them to a children's hospital (they don't want them), and these would sell for less then the shipping on ebay. Rather then throw them out, what should I do with them?

If I had a wood burning fireplace, I would use them for heat, but thats not even an option.

MetalMike is looking for cards for school kids at a school his sister teaches at.

I'd contact your local elementary schools and give them away. I bet you'd get some positive responses.

I used to put them in baggies and give them out at Haloween. I gave the kids the choice of candy or the cards. Most of the kids choose the cards.

Salvation Army. Get receipt for tax deduction.

Agreed.

I'm surprised your children's hospital declined free stuff. I suggest contacting them again and speaking with someone else.

Give them to goodwill, get a tax deduction. They have website auctions that they sometimes have garbage cards like that and it will bring $40-$50 per box.

Repack as Christmas rack packs...

Seriously, try Craigslist if they have one in your area. Put a listing under either Collectibles or Free announcing 15,000 cards for free. If you are in a big city with a well-trafficked Craigslist they will be claimed within one hour.

I'm in the SF Bay area and I've gotten rid of as many as 25,000 commons in one shot this way - once in about 10 minutes from hitting "Enter" to the guy showing up on my doorstep.

I am a sixth grade teacher. Give 'em to a school, especially in low-income areas.

Kids love free stuff!

Write it off.
