I usually donate them to kids in the hospital or at the orphanage; sometimes i gift them to a school that have a teacher who let kids play at the game in the extra school time. Try to search if there is something like this in your area
Around Christmas I spread then across tins and donate to the hospital and local families that are struggling. Have done for the last two years.
I give it to friends that literally collect every card in a binder to get a “national dex”.
Get a few thousand cards and sell them. Go for a couple pennies a piece. Might seem like nothing but even at 2 cents each, 1000 cards is $20. See if you have a local card shop in your area that sells bulk or has bulk bins. That’s a good indicator that they also buy bulk. The challenging part is actually having them be ready to actually buy it. Generally they either have enough, or aren’t buying at the moment for whatever reason.
I will take your clutter. 😢
I shove a chunk in the envelope when I sell cards to make it someone else’s problem 🤣
I give them away for free with every eBay sale. Also I sell in bulk. I try to do lots of 500 with 100 being reverse holos and 100 being regular Hg rare card then 300 of everything else
If you know anyone who plays the game they will surely find use for them in their decks 🙂
Complete the Pokédex and then send them back to the LCS… the owner takes tax plus 15% off my next purchase over $100. He then repacks them and gives them to boys&girls club…. Pretty good system
Could donate to children’s hospital’s. Give them away to others that want the bulk. Some people use their bulk to make their own booster packs to give away at Halloween instead of candy.
I sort them and package them into bundles of 100. Sell em on FB marketplace for like 10c a card.
I am actually one of the rare collectors that enjoys bulk for artwork. I’ll take it. PM me we can make a deal
What about uhh.. make a deck and go play the game xD

This is what I do
You know those “free little library” bins scattered around your town? I make up my own packs in penny sleeves, nothing fancy just bulk and a holo/Rev so they get something shiny.
Give them away. You’d be surprised at how happy kids are for bulk.
I find someone to donate them too. Last bulk drop was a nice lady from a GameStop who gives them to kids.
Play the game
I’m not the religious type but a buddy of mine volunteers with his churches youth group and he indicated to me that some kids go crazy for any cards at all. Especially ones that come from homes where Pokemon cards aren’t a weekly or even monthly thing for them. So I’ll save booster bundle boxes, ETB boxes, anything that I’m not set on collecting and just put it all together for him to give to the kiddos with all the extras and slip some duplicates of holos and rare stuff in there for them. I’m sure there’s gotta be a youth group or YMCA group that might take them somewhere around you. Helps to justify the spending too 😂
on twitter you can find him as @aPokeEmporium, he buys bulk for a pretty decent rate, better than most shops i’ve seen at least
Some card shops let you send in bulk and they will send you a booster box. The one I use will send you a booster box of your choice for 3000 bulk cards.
Edit: Full Grip games is the store I use.

I have a lot of bulk and often seek out more, since a lot of cards are required in order to make Shadowbox cards.
Give them to kids in the neighborhood through our buy nothing Facebook group. We give all our bulk away, but it’s worked out really well, as we meet other Pokémon collectors and parents and a few of the kids have pulled some of the $200+ cards from packs andthat we chase and the parents and kids reach out to us to get cash for more cards and play sets of regular versions of the cards they trade us.
I usually just take the bulk to tournament players so help they’re decks
Give to kids?
One thing I learned from TMR_Collectibles on drip is you can actually box up your bulk and ETB items and take it down to your local children’s hospital for them to dish out to the kids in the ward. I’d call and ask how they want stuff like that so you do it properly if it needs to be care package style or just a box of goods.
I give them away in my mystery packs I sell on eBay OR they’re very great to give fun packs to kids. I used to work in schools a lot with my mobile zoo and I would hand out packs after each lesson/workshop.
People forget that a card doesn’t have to be rare or shiny to be a child’s favourite or most cherished!
I make mines into buttons

I just make 30 card packs and give them to my daughter’s school to give out to kids for prizes for being good. It’s a win win
I have those four row boxes that hold thousands of cards. I separate everything. Commons with commons. Uncommons in another box. Rares and holo rares in another. Everything is separated but era too. Yes I do take adderall.
Donate it to children/get any kids of family members into gambling (pokemon cards)
Find a local elementary school or if you know anybody that’s a teacher see if you can give them the extra bulk and they can distribute it to the kids as a reward system or something fun like that.
Kids love Pokemon cards 💪
Collect the set
Throw it in the garbage. I just moved and had 20 bags, boxes and trash cans full of bulk. Literally thousands and thousands of cards. I didn’t have time to donate them or sell them…and it felt amazing just tossing them. Now that I have a new place, when I rip I keep the good stuff and literally trash anything else. I’m never dealing with bulk again.
