Title: What to do with the BULK!
Post by: Trugamr12 on December 16, 2013, 02:47:38 AM
Hey everyone!

So today I just wanted to ask a question to the community.

We all have those bulk Commons/Uncommons/Rares that are sitting there collecting dust and frankly they seem useless.

I just want to know what people do with them to either have fun, sell for .10 a rare LGS credit or what have you because I would love ideas what to do with this mess haha!

If I had an LGS I would store credit. Gladly get rid of my 1000s of {Pacifism}s for A {Godless Shrine}, just one! Haha!

I usually just put them into roughly even piles and give them out to new players or people who cant afford to buy cards often. Gets rid of them fast and sorta makes you feel good about it

I use them for new players too but in a few different ways.
1. Make basic training decks for friends
2. Help build relationships with new players by using them to help finish their decks.
3. Get good value trades around the release of new sets by helping newer players finish decks or even get the commons and uncommons from new sets using them.

I burn them...BIG FIRE!

Jk lol, only been collecting for a year now but I suppose I'll always hold onto them,  it's not like they take up a serius amount of space, compared to my sisters clothes collection, I could have dozens of times more than I have now and still take up less room.

The thing is I am in a small college apartment and currently all 15k plus if my bulk is taking up my roommates and I's kitchen table. And the rooms we have are big enough for a twin bed small dresser and study table with a 2ft wide closet haha and I am 6'3" so I barely fit in my own room let alone having to put 15k cards in it with me!

Walk up in the LGS and MAKE IT RAIN.

I am also a giant (6'4",) so I feel your pain. Being tall sucks sometimes.

Make up a format. Pauper. Or make a cube with all the commons/uncommons/rares people don't use

This. If you have any friends that are somewhat new to magic, you can teach them how to draft by making a cube of your garbage and then letting everyone keep what they pull.
