I've got a big common box. (and I try to keep them all in there) then once it gets too full I either just give some player/team lots away to collectors or I trade them for a cheap-o game-used. I also give commons with alot of trades/ebay sales as an added extra "bonus" (but only of the same player, so for instance if someone bought a LeBron from me they might get a few extra Bron's if I have any at the time, but they wouldn't get a Kobe or anything)

I have a whole closet full of boxes and boxes of commons. I usually make sets of the cards and then just throw the extras in a box. Its really a waste. I wish somebody could take them off my hands but nobody really collects them anymore. Its all about patches, gu, and autos.

oh thats a good idea but i dont do ebay

yeah thats how im starting to feel.
its almost like making commons are a "waste of ink"
but i pull out who i collect and the rest is in a pile to trade off

I have 2-3 boxes of those common baseball,football and basketball.Give some away in trades. I sell them in cardshows 100 cards $5. all star players type of players. The ones that no one wants i sell the commons in my local card shop for a small price.

I donate mine to the childrens hospital. I collect them all yr then around christmas i donate them.

I sometimes give alot of them to my local shop, or I'll put together bags of 200 cards for $3 each at our garage sales. Alot of kids out here that love cards too.
I seperate all of the star players and have them alphabetically sorted in boxes for trading with those who want base.

 

[abradley08]

I have 1000s of base and not really sure what im gonna do with them

I might try to trade a bunch for some gu's but i dont want to pay $20 to ship 100 cards.

speaking of which how much does everyone pay to mail/ship cards?

 

[Addicted]

I collect mine. I sort them by player, then year of the card. I've currently got 7 monster boxes full of well-organized base.

It's really simple to find out exactly what I have. It just gets tiring sorting them all out when I get new cards.

 

[abradley08]

Thats probably the best thing
to do then later on you can
find stuff to trade or sell by player

 

[Raptasguyvc15]

In storage boxes by set..

 

[Hands]

If I am close to completing a set, I will chase the last few cards then put them in storage.

The rest, I give away to young collectors.

Sometimes the young guys DON'T even want those bases from me anymore lol
