I keep them all, sort out my favorite players from the 'scrubs' and then put the scrubs into boxes. I figure if many cards from the early 1900s are now worth anywhere from $50-$50000, maybe I can make my great grandchildren extremely wealthy. Even if every card I owned was worth $1, I would surely have a small fortune on my hands.

I keep everything sorted by set. I use them for IP and TTM autos.

I give all of mine to the kids on my baseball and football teams that I coach 
They seem to make for good incentive

Mine wasn't there either but I chose the closest thing to it.I usually keep all of the stars and rookies and inserts.I also keep any player that I collect that isn't necessarily a star player and then I take the remaining cards and trade them in bulk lots to a dealer I know for boxes and other single cards.

realisticly I'd like to sell the few hundred I have of each team from 96-08. I've tried this twice now. Each time I get a person or two who is interested, but then various things occur at my house that makes selling them impossible.

I have been keeping the players on the Phillies for my brother but everything else I have been slowly giving to my kids' school for the after school programs they have there. Kids don't see the monetary worth of cards all they care about is getting players from their favorite teams or players that they like, the same reason all of us started collecting when we were kids.

I'm getting ready to give away a bunch to board members...either a contest or just post free cards to give away.

I'll keep a few of the Yankee cards, give my mom the Mariner cards and I'll usually give the rest away. I usually keep a ton of them, put them in team bags, give them to my parents and they hand them out for halloween. They usually give the kids a choice and most take the cards.
