How do I get rid of cards next to my avatar/portrait?

I have 3 cards next to my avatar / portrait when I log on.  It's not a "deck", per the Collection tab on the sidebar, it's a card atop my portrait with the number 3 on it (i.e., it represents three cards).  I can trade them, I can move them below or next to my portrait. I can't get rid of them.   Someone gave them to me accidentally, they serve no purpose and I sure would like to delete 'em.  Thanks!

Click once on the card icon to open the "cards in hand" panel.  Then drag each of the three cards out of that area onto the tabletop.  From there, you should be able to delete them. The GM should also be able to recall all the cards from players' hands, from the controls on the deck itself.

Click on the card, then drag it to the tabletop.  From there, you can delete it by selecting it, and hitting the backspace key, or right-clicking on it and choosing "Delete" from the popup menu.  You can find more about decks in the wiki here EDIT: Sniped by the Lady Victoria!
