I pulled a bin out and found my college graduation cards. I graduated in 2003. Anyone still have theirs? I can't think of any good reason to keep them, so I think I know my answer, but please tell me to toss them!

TOSS them!! You have my permission!!!
eta: I second-guessed myself-- I would only keep (maybe) any that had a note / signature in from someone who has passed away- like, if I found one with a very profound note from my Grandma in it, or something like that. And *that's* only if I didn't have anything else I had already kept with that person's writing in.

Toss them. I graduated in the 80s and have never ever ever missed tossing mine.

I graduated before you were born and I kept 1 card (meaning my announcement that I sent out).
The cards I received from others were tossed many years ago.

Ok I tossed most of them. I kept 4.
1. from my Mom (passed in 2019)
2. Mom's best friend's card- because it said "your mom is so proud of you"
3. from an aunt and uncle because she purposely picked a card that had a picture of a little girl on it that she thought looked like me (and it does!)
4. the one from my DH
Looking at these cards again will give me a boost when I need it.

My opinion is toss them.
Before tossing, check all the cards for any forgotten gifts-cash.
I am not sentimental in regards to keeping random piles of cards.
Greeting cards, within days of the event or holiday passing by.......go in the paperwork-mail-junk pile. Once a month-every other month-ish, that pile is gone through and filed(if it needs to be saved) or tossed.
I always re-open all cards before tossing, because in the past (and just recently) cash or a gift card gets left in there accidently.

I'm trying to remember if I got college graduation cards? I guess they weren't too important to me if I did. Obviously, I'm a toss person.

I only keep cards that have special meaning. I kept the last card my mom gave me. No special note or anything, just the last thing I have with "love mom" on it. Most others have been tossed.

I JUST last night opened a bin that had a bunch of my high school and college graduation stuff. I graduated from HS in 82 and college in 86! I couldn't do it! We are moving and downsizing radically and I just couldn't toss them. There were cards from my grandmothers, both who have passed away and friends writing things I can't even remember happening lol. My 40th high school reunion is coming up in September and I thought it would be fun to look through some of the stuff for that. I should've come here for moral support but now they've been taken off to storage. Maybe next time...
