So im pretty sure this is a quandary with most collectors we have a massive amount of cards that we no longer need nor care for so the question is what do we do with them to clear out the clutter other than setting a match to em? Thanks in advance!

My girlfriend's cousin owns an LGS I'm actually donating all my commons and uncommons to him. His shop is fairly new so they have more use for the cards than I do. Plus he cuts me deals on singles it's a win win

I've heard of people donating their bulk to libraries or community centers. You could teach younger kids how to play, build a meh deck so they can play against each other, and give them something to dump all their disposable income into. God knows I cant afford drugs at the rate I buy and sell cards.

A friend of mine has 3 nephews and a niece that are learning to play the game, so I donate most of them to those kids. They love the cards since most of the time I give them random older cards from sets they've never seen before.

Keep them for a cube, or sell them at events as bulk commons for cheap, and you can even sell bulk rares for a bit.

How sure are you that these cards are bulk? You'd be amazed how many commons/uncommons are worth $.75+ that you can buylist for a quarter or more. Doesn't sound like much, but 25 cents adds up quickly when you find 20, 30, or more.
Before you dump them go to mtggoldfish, or some other mtg financial website, and look up the prices for commons/uncommons from the sets you have the most of. I can almost guarantee that you will pleasantly surprised

My friends and I have built a giant cube of only uncommons and commons (at least for the ones not worth money). We draft it when our games get stale and we still have nothing to do for hours on end. Pretty damn fun as long as you make sure you build the cube right.
