The Storehouse was founded for the purpose of allowing long-time players to donate their unused collection of cards to be sold or donated to new players or those with smaller collections.

Oh yeah, that's me, only 50 cards to my name

I've given quite a few cards to the storehouse. Also, White Knight, having 10,000 cards in your collection is a waste of space unless you're a retailer. You probably play with less than 70 cards per T1 category, and less than 150 per T2 category, meaning if you play all 4 open categories at a tournament, at most you'd need 480 cards. Obviously it's harder because you open boosters and get 1-2 cards you can use and 8-9 that don't help, but if you're smart about building your collection it can be small and extremely powerful.

Hulk Lost Soul? Is that the green hand?

That's why you want them so much? Weird.

I collect the one with the guy sitting down with the pigs. It made me think of the movie "Dragonheart" when Dennis Quaid was blackmailing the village of pigherders. The leader gives Quaid the bag of money and says, "We can lose no more pigs."

That's what hits my mind every time I have to surrender a 'pigs' Lost Soul: "I can lose no more pigs!"

w00t for Josh Stanley, who donated nearly 1400 cards valued at $184.40!

The second portion of Josh's donation adds an additional 2000+ cards to his total, for a combined value of $395.00 even!  Thank you, Josh!

Received my order today, thanks.

Apologies to Brad Coverdale, who left some cards with me the weekend of Midwest Regionals, and has been very patient with me as I thanked him for his donation, and left the cards sitting there, uncounted for a month.

Brad donated 287 cards, adding $165.70 worth of credit to his total.

You can, but you won't get a lot for them.  Unlimited and Prophet and starter commons only get you a nickel credit apiece.

What is the best way to send you a bunch of cards?  I got around 2000ish cards I would like to donate, but not sure of the best way (cheapest  ) to get them there and do I just use the address from the storehouse website???

Probably just dump them into a large mailing envelope.  The padded kind are about a dollar, and depending on your location it would probably be six or eight bucks to ship USPS.  Other than happening to be at a tournament where I also happen to be, I'm afraid I can't do much better.  Orders over $50 get free shipping anyway, so while it may seem like I'm hurting you on the shipping, I basically give the money back the first time I fill an order. 

You send me old, unused cards.
I tell you the value of the cards you sent.
You get a 40% discount on any cards or games you order from my website, up to the contributed value.

Into big old boxes.  I have donated about 4,000 cards so far to various playgroups that have been starting up around the country, and given away many to the kids in my own group.  Basically, kids who want to get into the game but don't have a lot of disposable income to buy like 50 packs of cards.

I am also looking for other ways to resell the cards, like building all-commons decks for n00bs and selling them cheap.

I have a few kids in the area that are playing the game with each other with the E/F/G/H decks but agien have vary little money and I don't have the cards to keep them going for much longer and they are starting to get board with the decks so I have started getting together with them one at a time and showing them what some of the cards they have can do (one of them had a DoN and wasn't using it) and then if they really like a card I help them build a deck around it wether that means giving up a few cards of mine to help them. Just the other day I helped one of them build a conversion deck, but by doing this over and over I'm starting to run my coloection raged if you have a better way of doing this please PM with the details do that I can help them a little more.

Thanks for your help and GOD bless you day

Many thanks to Zac Tendick, planning a return to Redemption after a long absence!  He has traded in 207 cards valued at $14.25 to update his collection!
