I voted no and then realized i have thrown out many bricked cards so i dont know what that category that fits into.

I'm mostly organizing over adding right now.

Ron, I'd say throwing cards in the garbage or recycling pretty much destroys it, so it looks like you're actually a yes there.

He didn't actually brick the cards himself & by placing them into the garbage or recycle bin wouldn't damage them (unless he was angry and threw them in). The garbage collector actually damaged the cards, if he or she didn't pick them out and keep them, when they hit the compactor switch. You are still a No.

Probably as a kid, would play with my cards and think I wrote on some of them. 
 

As an adult, common base cards that are too damaged gets tossed. Don’t think anyone would want them.

I've recycled some a lot actually and then made packs so teachers could give cards to kids slightly ding but if they were bad they was recycled unless it was a big name card.

I've ripped a few Pokémon cards to see if fake or not. Some that's been a little valuable turned out to be real, but no value at all when in 2 pieces.

And a few too damaged cards went to the trash.

Yes. Guilty on three counts:

  • Throwing out a ton of hopelessly bricked mid-90s cards. (recent)
  • Fastening cards to my bike forks with a wooden clothes pin to get that "chopper sound" in the spokes. (childhood)
  • Tightly wrapping a rubber band around card team sets. (childhood).

-------------------------------

HAPPY COLLECTING!!!

  • Baltimore Orioles, Washington Capitals, Baltimore Ravens, and a few Baltimore Colts.
  • 1954-2024 Topps baseball sets, including updates. I'm on a mission to complete Topps sets, so no trade is too large! Here is my Topps Set Completion Status List.
  • My TCDB Completed Sets List.
  • I have 51,300+ different cards listed for trade (I don't list multiples).

I've cut out the pictures on the common and uncommon Star Wars: Customizable Card Game and taped them on my notebooks and binders when I was younger.
