The dilemma of what to do with inserts that are "hits"

 I picked up a hanger box of 2026 Topps Series 1 from EB Games because I'm just so happy to have somewhere to buy new baseball cards that's within walking distance of my apartment. I had opened two fat packs the other day and pulled a huge card, so like with the blaster of Upper Deck Allure yesterday I thought I would test my luck again.

I didn't pull anything I really wanted this time, though. Here's what I got:

The box was all base cards and low level inserts and parallels. I think the parallels look nice. I'm not as negative as other collectors on parallels, as long as the parallel design is different enough from the base card that it feels like a different card. Like, those parallels from Stadium Club where the font is a different colour are pretty stupid. I am more negative on parallels of insert cards, though, as it feels like a hat on a hat.

I'm not sure if I am going to build the base set or not. I've not tried to build a current baseball base set in close to twenty years. I'm not super keen on dropping a bunch of money to do this one, but it gives me an excuse to keep buying new product because then I am actually doing something with the base cards. 

I also didn't watch much baseball last year until the playoffs, so my feeling is that this will help familiarize myself with the players outside of the Blue Jays. I mean, I learned players and stats and stuff as a kid from the backs of baseball and hockey cards. I used to sit on the living room floor and play games with my cards, and that's how I learned about this stuff. I'm getting a bit of childhood nostalgia opening packs of baseball cards again.

I don't really know what to do with these inserts, though. I don't really want any of them. Shipping costs in Canada makes it impossible to sell, because I have to charge something like ten times the value of the card in shipping. Trading is hard because I would need to trade them to other Canadians to make it worthwhile, and most other Canadian baseball fans are Jays fans like me and wouldn't want any of these cards.

I'll probably end up sending them off to COMC once I have enough of them. I've done that in the past, but the problem there is that it's expensive to list them and often they just sit in the account for ages.

To be honest, if I am building the base set, I would rather just get more base cards than some crappy inserts that no one wants. Or instead of a pile of crappy inserts, maybe just one good insert that sells for more than a buck, so it's worth it to sell or use as trade bait. These aren't really the "hits" that Topps makes them out to be, as they are more of a pain in the ass to deal with than anything else.

People always say give them out to kids, but there are a ton of problems with that. First, I know zero kids and zero people with kids. Second, most charities here don't want products. They don't even accept toys or gift cards. Just cash. Third, kids in Canada give less than a shit about baseball. And honestly? If you're going to donate to a cause, donate something worthwhile and don't pawn off your junk onto others who are less fortunate. I know I'm in the minority on this one, but it's how I feel.

 If anyone has some Jays cards they want to be rid of, I would be happy to trade all of these in your favour. Even junk wax would be appreciated.
