Exactly. Would I love to get my $5 back in actual monetary form via resale? Sure. But did I get $5 in entertainment value out of them? Yes.

I can promise you, and everyone else on this board, that I will NEVER throw away these or any other sports cards.


For me, I would prefer to donate them to specific kids that I know would enjoy them. Might contact the Wounded Warrior Project to see if they have any families with younger kids that like sports and would take the cards. Only issue there is delivery, as the nearest WWP office is in Pittsburgh which is 2 hours away.

Please keep any and all ideas coming, minus ideas that include disposing of the cardboard in the garbage/recycling bin.
