shameless- how do you store your base (worthless) cards? I have used card boxes mostly, not sure if binders or something else would work better

Baseball I hold onto because the prospect system is so weird. Never know if a 25 card lot will fetch you 20 bucks someday. I'm actually about to find this out by throwing up a 50 card lot of Bregs/Yuli from 17 bowman and 16 Bowman's Best. If those don't sell for like $10.00 I don't know what I'll do. The inserts at least have a bid so far. The base baseball I keep in those white 200-1000 card boxes and label them. I don't know what I'll do if they don't sell may see if a card shop wants them free or chunk them. Plus it's not really big down here.

Basketball lady Pel and I have sorted out gradually to hopefully find some place to mass donate them in some capacity. I leave the big names like Curry, Bron, Kobe, Durant in there so it can maybe be exciting for some kid to run around with a Curry card idk.

Football just kind of sits in a box or gets thrown away lol. I just don't have enough of them to make a difference.

Oddly enough this jackass offered me .10 cents a card for 16 BBest and I counted out all the base and inserts for him and came out to like $83.00 and change and then he was like uhh, I just wanted like 150. I was all happy too to just be rid of them and have them out my house counting them up. I'm like you son of a bitch. He wanted me to pay for half the shipping too. I already sold 11 of the 800 for $55.00 cause they were Judge cards.

TL:DR- NBA I hope to donate to kids because big names carry a star power mystique down here. MLB are in big white labeled boxes. I'm hoping to sell chunks at a time just to get something for sitting in front of TV and fiddling. If not, probably give them away.
