What do you guys do with the base from your case busts?

[SportsStar21]

Was wondering what best thing to do would be, I cracked open a few cases and basically but the base in as many sets as i can, I could really only use 1 set, what do you guys usually do with the rest?

Do you sell the sets on ebay?
Do you sell the leftovers top a card shop?

im curiouse as to what to do, its basiclaly taking up room lol

Thanks

This will be the second year I package up some of my doubles into team bags and hand them out for Halloween. Of course, I will also give the little ghosts and ghouls some "regular" treats, but the pack of cards goes over well as an unexpected treat.

I package mine up in team bags and give them to my family doctor to hand out too the kids.

I sell sets to my LCS and give the rest to kids in my area

Do kids even want base? I remember seeing one kid at the Expo, being offered base from a guy's UD redemption bust, and the kid declined!!!

Any time I've given cards to kids they're thrilled. One snobby kid shouldn't ruin your perception.

That's a kid at the Expo, who is likely knows about cards and playing the game like everyone else.

I try and unload some when making deals and throw them in as extras.

Donate 'em to the local children's hospital.

I make sure I have one set to keep and give the doubles away. If you keep all the base you have wayyyy too many cards!

I'm always looking for Iginla base and low end inserts/parallels!

 

[Rockets Sports Cards]

for what theyre charging for hydro and gas, im thinking about burning my base through the winter to stay warm.

I give them to the kids on my son's hockey team. We give them goodies at Christmas and the end of the year. Last year I used a pile for goodie bags for a tournament he played in.........

 

[Pucku2cards]

Give them all away, except for the cup.

 

[theslurpee]

I give them to my nieces and nephews and they love them but their parents hate me because they find their way all over the place hahaha.

 

[jasonsportscard]

Give most away myself, keep a few sets on hand. Never thought of halloween that was mentioned, actually sounds like a good idea

 

[orfew]

I take them to the Expo. They are donated to kids.

always looking for Toronto Maple Leafs base

Most hospitals won't accept paper products now - it is how the flu gets around. Perhaps all those acetate UD ice RC would be better - you could sani-wipe them!

Donate 'em to the local children's hospital.

If I'm at a show I give all my base to Derek, everyone should have a Derek
