    keeping the empty cards?

    Undecided on weather to keep the empty cards the retro heros came in. Hate to hold onto something thats just taking up space.I'm mean they are colorfull, but they are empty. Anyone holding onto to empty cards?

    Years ago, I put Thing, Human Torch, Batman and Hulk Mego cards in the garbage. When I learned people actually collect the cards, I was a bit baffled. Then, I learned what they can sell for.

    So, I'm leaning toward putting my cards in the a box in a garage whenever I actually open some of these figures up.
    My Want List:
    Repro WGSH Alter Ego Peter Parker, Dick Grayson & Clark Kent
    WGSH Invisible Girl, Isis, Wondergirl & Aqualad (loose)
    1970s Hulk or Spider-man metal garbage can
    Comic book original art
    Marvel Universe 3 3/4" figures (loose)

    Have lots of comics and Marvel Legends figures for trades. Thanks!

    I find these A4 hard cases are really good for stashing card backs in them,the case fits in nicely on a bookshelf also.

    I keep 'em, too. I was opening the RA bubbles just on one side to save the bubble on the card, as well. Not to mention saving all the EMCE Star Trek blisters and cards. I was beginning to accumulate boxes full of empty "boxes." So, in a quick purge, I chucked all the ST blisters (keeping the cards) and cut off all the RA bubbles and chucked them. Felt good... and the cards alone don't take up too much space.

    Don't tell anybody, but I toss them. I'm a terrible collector as I open my toys and throw away the packages.
