I realized that I have too damn many boxes of cards in my house. So I am going to begin the process of ditching a bunch of them. What I need to know from you guys, is what are the staple commons and uncommons in standard right now. I want to begin sorting those ones, (as it will be the easiest at the moment) and take them to my shop for store credit (the owner needs them and I know that I have them). Please help a brotha out. Also include any cards from RTR to THS. I just need to dump them, after that the rest are going to be sold in bulk to somewhere... I am not sure yet.
Thanks.

Epochalyptik thanks, thats a good start. I was hoping that there was a list online... after a few hours on google... nothing came up. There's TONS of lists for modern/legacy/EDH staples, though. Which would be a lot easier to maintain, so I can see why there isn't one for standard.
I am working on acquiring the last 7 cards for my Modern Jund list, and I figure I can knock some of them out of the way by getting rid of some of the 100,000 or so commons and uncommons. Modern and legacy staples are easy to find out of those boxes... it's the standard ones I am having trouble with. Lol.

Yeah, Standard changes way too often for anyone to justify the effort of making a staples list, especially one for C/U.
Whenever I pull playables out of my bulk C/U, I go by what's good in EDH and the eternal formats (which I know by sight and should already have pulled a while ago) and what's good in Standard (which I figure out by going through top decklists).
Some places also buy C/U in bulk, so separate all the valuables, then bulk out the rest of it for some additional cash. It'll help you save some space, at least.

Yeah, that's the plan... I was thinking about just dumping the bulk ones on Ebay. And sprinkle some playable rates in the lot to make it seem reasonable.
Come to think of it. My trade binder is currently all bulk... I might just sell all of those too. It seems it only appeals to EDH players anyways.

Guttersnipe , Young Pyromancer , Experiment One , and the guild charms

Pull out all the CMC 3 or less burn spells. That's a good starting point.
After that, Elvish Mystic , the bloodrush creatures, Zhur-Taa Druid , the Ordeals, Ethereal Armor .
Go to MTGTop8.com and look at the top Standard decklists for some more.
