What to do with late 80's cards? I had an idea

try sportlots.com you'll find 1000's of late 80's commons (and plenty of hofers) at 18cents each plus shipping. Some dealers offer free shipping on large lots (150ish)

How many junk era commons are you looking for? I have several 1000 that I would send you for the price of shipping.

Thanks, really appreciate the offer.

Only enough to do one of these projects - I'll likely use 100. I have already started going through my newer cards (I only collect pre-war stuff but still have tens of thousands of newer cards from that era) and found a bunch I wanted to use. I'm picking out cards that meant something to me over the course of my childhood for one reason or another and have a list already in mind.

I've found about 50 already and will probably just look for others that I'm after once I find out which ones I still need.

Thanks, though - cool of you to ask.
