What do you do with your extra pokémon cards?

Hi Card Collectors!

I’m doing a study on Pokémon Bulk Cards and am looking to understand a collector’s thought process when trying to offload them. I’ve seen a few options out there (i.e. Sell bundles on marketplaces, donations, etc.) but I’m trying to determine at what point do the bulk cards begin becoming a problem for you.

Based on a Reddit Post Hunt, the second most common option for managing their own bulk was to organise and store the cards. 

Knowing this made me wonder, what’s the breaking point to go out of your way to get rid of them? What might the friction be as to why one wouldn’t do it earlier if the end result is to get rid of them anyway?

FUN FACT: The most popular option was to donate them to clinical centres, libraries and schools for the kids to enjoy the hobby which was so wholesome to see!

Do you have a lot of bulk Pokémon cards? If so, I’ve made a small Google Form that focuses on the quantity of cards you have and how it may affect your card collecting experience. 

Feel free to comment or DM me if you're interested in helping with the study and I can send you the Google Forms Link!

If it is easier for you, I’d love for you to simply leave a comment on how many cards you have what you do to offload your spare cards and why that method is effective for you 🙂 (bonus question: Is there a reason as to why you don't choose the other options?)

Thanks in advance!
