Hey everyone, I have a dilemma on my hands. I did some yard work for a guy and in return he was going to give me some boxes of cards his son no longer wanted. He knew I collected cards so I said sure, the work was not too difficult and I was doing it more as a favor. (Cutting up a tree that fell from a recent storm). Low and behold, I didn't know he was going to his basement and pull up box after box after box. I have baseball, football, and basketball.

To make a long story short, I inherited about 7, maybe more, monster boxes of cards. Mostly 1987 - mid 90s after I fingered through them. Some look like sets. Some boxes are broken into teams. I just don't have the time or energy to go through them. This is more than what I bargained for.

Anyway, If I sell these at less than 1 cent each, an 800 ct box would be $7 + shipping. Any idea how many cards fit in a medium or large flat rate box? I can go that route too if its cheaper to ship that many cards.

So basically, less than a penny a card so I can clear these out of here. I can not fill up a 800 ct box with just one NFL team.

Thanks for your help!

No, they are my cards now. Stars and semistars are in there. The only card I pulled was a Jeter RC since I collect Jeter
