You're hoarding useless cards which are clogging up your space. Junk some, sell others, gift some to the nations on the cards, use the profits to buy more space and generally focus on what kind of cards you wish to collect. Just because a card is listed as 'rare' doesn't make it valuable. Put most of what you've got on the market at reasonable prices and free up some space while gaining credits that you can use to buy more of what you want to collect. If you have another nation-character, you can gift cards to them and use them for storage or to showcase your collection.
Keep in mind that the only value that the cards have is the one that your personally attach to it.
I can't help you with that. If you are compelled to hang on to every single card you have, then at least stop moaning about your lack of space to store them.
My suggestions will allow you pare down your collection in order that you may fill the space with cards that actually mean something to you rather than remaining clogged up with stuff that is useless to you but could have value to another player.
Max Barry is a prankster and the NationStates trading cards are no exception. He set them up so that the 'values' attached to them are arbitrary and actually the reverse of their availability. The most rare cards are the ones labeled 'common' and visa versa. In his usual way of providing a mirror to the absurdity of human behavior he created a mini game that highlights the superficial attachments to advertising and its effect on our subconscious becasue that's what he does. If you don't believe me, than investigate my claims for yourself.

Good day. Would you like a table or a booth?

"A person's home should be their castle
(When I'm at home I want to feel like royalty)
But I don't want to be the queen of this mess
(Never before have I seen such misery)
Living with my baby is a hassle
(When he's at home he doesn't care
Never combs his hair)
I'm puttin' him out on the curb unless he cleans this
Garbage up
My baby loves
Trash
My baby leaves his trash all over the house
I've got to dig & dig & dig
Just to find the bathroom in the morning
My baby loves
Trash
My baby leaves his trash all over the house
I think it's time to trash my baby
Well home is where the heart is
(God what a mess it gives me cardiac arrest)
But my heart isn't willing to stay there
(Crumbs in the bed I can't get no rest)
My man never learned to pick up his
(Pardon the small you know he never does the laundry)
Dirty shirts and socks and underwear
He doesn't even care
Talkin' bout
Trash
My baby leaves his trash all over the house
I've got to dig & dig & dig
Just to find the bathroom in the morning
My baby loves
Trash
My baby leaves his trash all over the house
I think it's time to trash my baby
If cleanliness is next to godliness
(One year of Sunday papers blocking the door)
Then my baby is a heathen and a heretic
(Ants so thick your feet never touch the floor)
He worships at the altar of sloppiness
(And fills the collection plate with cigarette butts)
I'm gonna lace his food with arsenic
And have him hauled away
I'm picking up
Trash
My baby leaves his trash all over the house
I've got to dig & dig & dig
Just to find the bathroom in the morning
My baby loves
Trash
My baby leaves his trash all over the house
I think it's time to trash my baby
I'm gonna call my garbageman
Haul my baby and all of his trash away
I'm gonna call my garbageman
Haul my baby and all of his trash away
I'm gonna call my garbageman
Haul my baby and all of his trash away
I'm gonna call my garbageman
Haul my baby and all of his trash away"

Just Starting a Game of Bar Dice, Wanna Join?

Nah, I've got work to do. But you go ahead, it sounds like fun.
Liar's Dice, a common bar game. I've played it many times and it's a great way to fill time while you're having a beer or two.
"Liar's dice is a class of dice games for two or more players requiring the ability to deceive and to detect an opponent's deception.
In "single hand" liar's dice games, each player has a set of dice, all players roll once, and the bids relate to the dice each player can see (their hand) plus all the concealed dice (the other players' hands). In "common hand" games, there is one set of dice which is passed from player to player. The bids relate to the dice as they are in front of the bidder after selected dice have been re-rolled."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liar%27s_dice
https://www.dicegamedepot.com/liars-dice-rules/
There are ways to play it on-line, if Anacin wishes to host a game.
(This one was created by 'Kevan', the creator of Urban Dead, an on-line browser game I have been playing for years)
https://kevan.org/games/liarsdice
"Basic rules: each player privately loads this page on their phone or computer and positions the device so that no other player can see the screen. The starting player announces the minimum number of instances of a particular number they think appear in total across all players' dice (eg. "seven 3s"). 1s are wild, and always count as the predicted number. Going clockwise, each player may either raise the previous player's bid (either to a higher quantity of the same number, or any quantity of a higher number) or challenge it. When a challenge is made, everyone reveals their screens; if the challenged prediction was correct (ie. at least that many instances of the number are present, including wild 1s), the predicter wins, otherwise the challenger wins. The loser of the challenge loses one die and they open the next round; when a player runs out of dice, they're eliminated."
But there are many other sites to find that will let people play together.

It common to play in taverns where I live (Wisconsin), So I understand it.

(Your bars are much cooler than any I've been in then, save for pubs. Pubs have a great atmosphere.)

"Don't go to bed with no price on your head
Don't do it
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time
Keep your eye on the sparrow
When the going gets narrow
Don't roll the dice if you can't pay the price
Don't do it
Don't run your feet down a dead-end street
Don't do me dirt or you're gonna get hurt
Don't do it
Don't run away till you hear what I say
Ain't gonna fight with no thief in the night
Won't do it
I'm gonna go where the cold wind don't blow"
