I have countless Yu-Gi-Oh cards, at the very least over 2000, and I don't know what to do with them, since I've outgrown them. Should I sell them? But used Yu-Gi-Oh card price go really low, and there's probably alot of money that went into them, so I don't want to have that big of a loss. And I can't really price them either, because I have too many to sit and go through. I could just skim through for good ones, but then I still wanna have some as a memento of my childhood, and what if my grandpa's soul is stolen, and I have to enter a tournament to save him from the shadow realm? I don't want to have some crappy cards leftover for myself.

I gave all my Pokemon cards to my coworkers son. He will get more enjoyment out of them that I would have. It's hard to find someone in their 20's that wants to play a kids card game.

I don't think you can really make much bank off of selling them (who buys back that stuff anyway??) I'd say keep them or give them to someone who will get the most pleasure out of them.

I never amassed a very big collection becuase I was constantly giving cards away to the kids I played with- why keep a bunch of kinda lousy cards around when I can give them to the little brother stuck with the REALLY lousy cards and make his day? I also traded a lot... specifically, for Neo the Magic Swordsman. For whatever reason, I ended up collecting that specific card, so I'd always trade 3 or 4 unwanted cards to get one. The kids I played with got a kick out of it. I still have a dozen or so Neos floating around.

Anyway, possible quickie solution- pass out packs of 10 or 15 cards with your halloween candy. No sorting outside of putting aside cards you want to keep, and you'll make at least a few kids happy.
