¿Question #843?
TomVasel: Do you keep the cardboard extra pieces after you punch out the counters?

imyourskribe: No. I hand them to my wife to make sure I haven't missed any pieces and then into the refuse bin they go
Woelf: Yep - I've got a bag full of them in the basement (although some get left in their original box to push up the insert enough so stuff doesn't fall out when it gets tipped).
Headless_Ned: For a few days in case I missed something
perrygf: I mail them to Peru.
Hendal: nope, sometimes give them to kids though
MartinWin: No.
Phil Fleischmann: Yes. One came in very useful recently when I had to make a replacement piece.
tankexmortis: No, but I'm always tempted to.
FlippDurch: Only about a few months, then mostly i decide to give them for charity.
Felimid: Not usually.
daveroswell: nah
Sorp222: Yes - why though?
Polgara: yes
vandemonium: No - I have managed to get over THAT particular compulsion. Yes, that means I still think I should but I have managed to pitch them anyhow.
ZeroZilla: Often I will, as a sort of shim to keep the board from warping when it's placed directly onto the box-divider. Sad, but true.
Chazar: No. They are a useless part of packaging.
TKRKS: Yup, they go under whatever insert came with the game to put the pieces in.
Dane: think green and recycle

matthan: Yes, I do.
diemacher: No
HBGlover: No.
Myrdin T Sasnak: Of coarse.
Royalflush: I once did, but that was a long time ago.

Dhunam: No
dwarf: Cardboard extra pieces ?
Helenoftroy: my 2 year old son likes them

Major Sholto: Yes
Akke: yes
KompaNanzi: Sometimes and for a while
Twkw: Yes
Odat: Of course not. Do I look insane to you?
Whiskey Jack: depends how much is left over... and if the carboard is thick enough to "re-host" the counters... usually it gets tossed.
dave45: Yes
ssmooth: Only if I want them to keep the game pieces snug during future storage.
brainrob: Yes
tragicpoet: I used to, but I'm getting less anal
scriptorum: Do you mean the cardboard frame, or do you mean spare/blank pieces? If the former, not that often. I used to. I'm especially unlikely to do so if there's not a lot of room in the box. If the latter, always.
scribidinus: Sure.
Cerebus: No.

berserkley: no
Blackwind: I used to.
m_r_tyler: Yes if they will fit below the insert out of sight.
