Had a fire sale today

Everything that was on fire was for sale.:eek:

Burned around 50,000 cards. I tried almost everything to get rid of them any other way. Couldn't even give them away and was tired of storing them.

I spent an entire day going through binders full of star players. Sorted them to remove all the doubles so when i sold them there would not be several of each card. Ended up with 218 nine pocket pages and listed them in the auction section. I ended up getting $1.15 after shipping for a whole day of work.

Now if another half million people do the same thing the they might actually be worth something.:)

Did you try Craigslist for free? With (10) 5K boxes worth and you still couldn't get anyone to take them, that is surprising? First thing I thought was where do you live. I checked and see your profile lists South Dakota, so there is your problem! Next closest collector of cards is a day away! Kidding, but wow, I would have taken 50K worth of cards just to entertain myself going through them. I even tried a Craigslist add for any card pick up/removal at no cost and didn't get a single hit for anything.

I saw your auction and almost bought it just for the 9-card pages. But then I remembered I had bought about five hundred pages at a yard sale for $15. I have a tub of about 30,000 right now that I'm going to donate to my church's next community yard sale.

Congrats. You must have used a gallon of lighter fluid. Some of those cards are hard to burn...........I know from experience. :D

I think I see a T206 Cobb near the top of the pile.

Getting rid of cards
 
I finally had to do that also. I tried everything. Even the Ronald McDonald house turned me down,lols.

Couldnt do it. I just love cards too much. I dont care how much space they take up. My kids can burn them if they want.
