What to do with thousands of 1986-1992 commons?

Anyone have suggestions for something to do with all of my commons from this time period? Is it even worth going through them at this point? Is there any value in trying to sell off monster boxes of these? I have probably 40k cards taking up too much space and I want to get rid of them.

Do people still collect 1990 Leaf, 1991 Stadium Club? I have quite a few of these, but it is a real hodge podge of cardboard for the most part.

Should I just toss them in the trash instead? It would physically hurt to do that though.

    Please do not toss them. I asked people two years ago to send me their junk or whatever they didn't want becuase I coached baseball and always gave cards out to my players after games. I said I would pay the shipping and at least 10 people sent me cards and not one even asked me to pay the shipping. I probably have enough cards for two or three more seasons. I still cannot believe the generosity of many folks. I expected to receive all 80-90's junk but some sent modern cards. I was glad for my kids but would have been just as pleased with the stuff you have as I didn't have to pay the shipping as I expected I would. The boys love getting the cards. Please find a baseball coach, baseball league who can put you in touch with a coach, childrens hospital, boys and girls club, or anything similar but don't throw them out. Good things can be done even with the cards you have. Again, thanks to all of you who helped me when I asked a couple years ago. Just keep in mind there are always a few out there who might not be on the up and up who are not really out for kids. God will handle those people image Dean

    What about starting lineups? I have probably 20 or so unopened and another 20 or so opened, but with the cards. I can get a list if anyone wants these. It breaks my heart that these are worhtless as well.
