Do you have tons of those white cardboard boxes full of cards lying around that you would like to get rid of to reduce the clutter in your house? Perfect! I want to buy them! Please read everything to determine if you have what I am looking for.

What I want:

I want to get another 10,000 baseball cards (baseball ONLY). I would like them to be from recent years (1995-2014) but I won't complain if there are a few older cards from the overproduction era, that's fine. I would like it to be at least 90% newer cards though.

I would love it if there are some inserts and/or numbered cards in the lot, but it isn't a dealbreaker if there isn't. I would also like them to be a mix of different products and brands (not 10,000 cards from the same product).

What I'm paying:

Large Flat Rate Box: $25 dlvd - Boxes must be full!
Lot of 10,000 shipped Fedex (should cost ~$35 to ship): $62.50 dlvd

Tips for shipping:

Some people have asked what the best way to pack a flat rate box full of cards is. My recommendation is to line the bottom and sides with bubble wrap. Then fill the box with as many cards as possible. Place another piece of bubble wrap on top before sealing the top. In my experience with this, the corners of the boxes take a beating so lining the box is the most important thing to assure that the cards arrive safely.

For shipping Fedex, I recommend shipping with the 3200 and 5000 count cardboard card boxes you already have. Tape them together and it's easy and works perfectly and ships safely!

I believe that is it. This is a great opportunity for anyone who wants to clear some space and move all of those base cards that have just been sitting around for years! I will only be buying one or two big lots so first responders get first priority. I'm looking forward to getting some boxes of cards to look through so please let me know what you have available. Thanks!

I might be able to put together something, but it would take me a couple of days to get it set up with my schedule. Some of my bigger lots are in the early 2000's range, and could possibly get some newer stuff from the last couple of years. I'm unpacking much of my collection due to a recent move from Germany back to the States, so it's not a quick process for me. lol If you can't wait, I understand... maybe consider me if you decide to do something like this again. Let me know.

I'm definitely interested in what both of y'all have to offer. PM me if you are able to make up a big lot. Please be aware that I can't afford to pay you a fortune for what you have, but I would love to help people clear space and get some interesting cards to look at in the process. I would like to get things quickly but I will be looking in the future so PM me whenever you guys get things sorted out.

Thanks for the replies!

I have a medium sized box full of stuff. How much are you willing to pay?

I have updated my prices to reflect what I am still looking for. I bought a big lot of stuff locally so I'm currently interested in picking up another 10,000 or 3 large flat rate boxes. Let me know what you have! Thanks!
