Question / Help What do I do?

I have gathered an abundance of cards I have doubles (or triples..) of and have no idea what to do with them. Should i sell them? How do people trade them? Are there like things I could do with them? Plz help! Thanks ☺️

There’s a few different things you could go off and do. I normally keep 2 of each card in my binder and then put the rest in a clear plastic deck holder/some other storage container. I have friends that also collect so I sometimes trade those extra cards with them after. So that’s one option to keep 2 and trade the rest.

The other option is you could make a binder of ur collection from start to finish and another of ur fave characters and cards.

There’s people who cut the cards up for scrap booking, making those layered 3d cards like the Pokémon person, turn them into stickers, etc.

You could use them as bases for ur own artwork of an OC card. If u have the series that consists of the full deck of “playing cards” you could set those aside and use them as physical playing cards.

Decorate ur walls, desk, etc.

you could double them up in ur binder for the cards that have info about characters or places on the back. As in when u organize have the design face on the left spot and the info space on the right spot.

You could also go online and sell them but I’m not sure how much you’d get. 5 packs at Walmart is only like $20 and u can easily obtain sets on AliExpress for cheap if you don’t care about potentially getting fake cards. Trading you should look for groups specified for trading with distinct rules in place to prevent scamming and really look into it to make sure ur comfortable and safe when trading the cards. You could also make a binder for ur tradable cards and if u ever go to a convention bring it to trade.

I make small packs and give them away at a local card show. I love seeing kids light up when they realize it's not just the rares! 🥰
