Oh, p.s.: I just thought of this........As far as scanning cards and storing in a computer/whatever, in twenty, thirty, or more years, the gadgets of today will be obsolete; and I doubt our heirs will have the time or interest to bother to transfer what we are using now into their gadgets of the future. But, just maybe, if they run across the actual cards, they will appreciate and save them for their children/heirs. Just thought of that, right or wrong............

Answering O/P: Maybe ask your family and/or friends whether they would like the cards you have saved. You'll be surprised how many people love to recycle cards. Using them as post cards, using them for scrap booking, crafts, just collecting and/or framing them. Also, if you don't mind your neighbors having them, just set them out on your lawn one weekend on a nice day, with a sign marked 'Free Cards'. .... If I were walking along my block or around my neighborhood, I'd love to see a box of 'free cards'.........would 'make my day.........

I do collect greeting cards I've received and file them away in a big, plastic container with a lid. I look at cards every 3 years or so, mainly in winter months. Brings me joy. Many people who gave me cards have passed. Love reading messages. Fun to read scribbles from my little kids who are now adults.

I save them for a few months or so, then they get tossed. However, my grown children have cards their grandparents sent to them when they were little.
