They have such low value and I assume they don't have a lot of player value either. So is it any use trying to sell them or should you just junk all of them for some extra bank.

You should try to sell them anyway. If no one buys them, then yeah.

I am a collector of my region's cards. Most of their cards are commons and uncommons. Due to the amount of cards currently in the game, I rely on buying these cards to collect my region's cards. If the option to sell them was removed, it would become practically impossible to collect my region's cards. Plus, others can buy cards that I don't need for more than the junk price, so I can fund my collection enterprise more effectively. This is why I like having the selling option of common and uncommon cards.

Quite a few regional collections need large amounts of them.

As for me I am trying to buy as many as I can in a historical preservation Manor. Due to the fact that if a nation CTEs it's card will not spawn under normal circumstances it will however spawn if at auction so I very offten buy every common I come across at .02-.03

if i see a bid above junk-value, i'll sell, otherwise i just junk all of them.
Except for those that i want in my collections. For commons i bid 0.03, for uncommons 0.07, and 0.13 for rares.

Don´t you all forget about a little thing ?
First of all, the game is for every user, not only "big card farmers"; and so´s the "market". How else should a "single nation player" achieve any kind of collection (most of them include all kind of cards, usually much more of the "common" and "uncommon" type) ?
Second, who (which collector) would be intersted in a "market", if it mainly consists of the more pricey ones ?
And third, don´t you think, that the card game was meant (my guess) to be a little bit more than "generating immense ammount of farms" and "accumulating immense sums of bank by junking every card of lesser value", which, no offense meant, can be done by every moron willing to spend enough time in doing so...

I don't think anyone was suggesting otherwise. I believe OP was simply wondering whether they should bother placing "Asks" on each and every common card they pull from a pack. This is a reasonable question. Is anyone ever going to place a bid for "Random Puppet Name XVI" except the one person attempting to collect every single Common?

Certainly, if someone has a standing Bid on a Common or Uncommon -- sell it to them :) You help out someone whose looking for a card, and you receive more than junk price. Or if it has an especially notable flag or name it may be worth it.

Otherwise, don't worry that much about junking the random carbon-copy puppet card you happen to pull from your pack.

Some of the most aesthetically pleasing and interesting cards are commons and uncommons, as are the majority of the season 2 gifs. Some of us collect cards because we like how they look -- not for how high they can jack up our deck value. How you choose to handle your deck is your call; if you're busy, I agree that it doesn't make sense to put .01s and .05s up for bid and let them sit there using up deck space.

I think that at the end of each season, most uncommon & common cards will become the most valuable (for some people) because they end up having low owners. All of my low owner cards are uncommon and common, and one common card even have a value of 5.50. I have yet to own a "LURE" (Legendary, Ultra Rare, Rare, Epic) card with low owners.

I got most of my low owner season 1 cards near the end of season 1. So if you think the season is about to end and you're into collecting low owner cards, I suggest looking at how many owner an uncommon and common card has, then junk it if there's a lot of owners and no bid.

A lot of the MLP cards I'm bidding on are commons and uncommons, so I'm hoping people don't just junk all of the new common and uncommon cards they get.

As a card farmer (albeit a mid-sized one), I will only sell commons for a minimum of 0.04. It takes me two clicks to junk a common and receive 0.01. It takes me seven clicks (or mouse movements) to sell a common for a single digit value. I try to move quickly while farming and am typically only getting rid of commons if I need deck space on my puppets.

All my precious nations are uncommons... and I buy them all all for 0.5 bank, which is 10 times the junk value. .
I also buy moons for 0.25, even though they are uncommons. so if you can sell commons and uncommons. you should sell them. and avoid junk them. junk commons and uncommons give not much.

Almost the same, but rares 0.15 and ultra-rares 0.25 usually; of course, there are some exceptions.
Oh, and I dont look for a bid, but ask on my own...
