What to do with base cards?

I package them into team bags and give them out at Halloween with the candy.

If you parcel them out into 100-200 card lots and give them to sick kids, the hospitals will give you a tax donation receipt. That or just drop them off at the hospital.

Considering how cold it is in Michigan, you can probably use the cards to keep the fireplace going for a few hours. Always fun to watch Cindy cards burn!

if u wanna try to make money off them, get two birds stoned at once. Bring them to goodwill, and take a tax receipt. This way u can claim it towards your taxes. Everyone wins

If you have an insane amount, you can sell them to these guys:

They make and sell the packs you see in Dollerama in Canada, but I think they are looking for amounts in the hundreds of thousands.

Find a local card show and see if any of the dealers would be interested in buying them for cheap. There is a guy in New England that pays $15 for a 5000 count box of commons. You aren't going to get rich by doing it but you might want to explore that option.

I sponsored at a hockey tournament this year with the cards I managed to scrounge up from donations,although I would have liked to have done every level of tournaments up to pee wee this year, I could only manage to do 1 tourney with what donations I received,kids around here don't get hockey cards due to not having a card shop anywhere near us besides Edmonton which is 2 hours away and what better way than to package up cards in team bags and hand them out to each player after their game,i have never seen before the excitement on the faces of kids when they have their names called and skate up to receive a pack of cards,it was just satisfying to know that you made a kid smile!

My wife's school sells cards for 0.10 and the money raised helps buy things for the kids.
