Default ? On moving mass bulk

Have a ton (like 30K+) of cards left from this collection that are in bulk containers and frankly have 0 idea what to do with them.

What have you folks done in the past when dealing with stuff like this?

Is it junk, or just lower quality/$$ compared to the highlights?

I don't think $1.50 will cover the table cost

Probably the last part, but it's cards from 1970 to present.

Donate to Glen straight to his COMC account.

I can give you his deets. Don’t even tell him you’re doing it. It will be a nice surprise.

Essentially, the beginnings of what you see here.

Will likely have over 100K cards to move when all said and done

Someone will buy that if it is reasonably organized. May want to check Facebook/Craigslist/Local media for "Buying" ads.

Let's say you had a few hundred or even thousand cards from each year starting in 1970. Someone will sort those into partial sets and run them on eBay. They might even pull any good rookies hidden in there for grading.

If it's late 80's/early 90's bulk commons, some of that will be impossible to sell and may literally need to be trashed. There is value in the 70s/early-mid 80's though.

Depending on what it is make up a bunch of medium flat rate boxes and sell for $5-10 dollars over shipping cost. If it isnt even that good take to good will or post on marketplace free cards come get.

This....I routinely donate all my extra cards to neighborhood kids or our local Boys & Girls Club.

Schools will take cards if you donate them pre-packaged so that teachers can easily give them out as rewards.

Or

Put them all in 4000 count boxes and label them with various names like 1986 fleer commons, exquisite collection, high end brady, kobe, jordan, etc and dump them in a storage locker. Stop paying for the monthly fee. Cards get auctioned off. Profit.

I've been dumping mine to the LCS for $40 a monster box. They have an bulk buyer they pass it on to. Business must be good 'cause they keep asking for more.
