I am not aware of any "easy" way to do this in Hypercard, but you could define
a key stroke in QuickKeys within the Hypercard domain that would do it for you -it would still be tedious, but it could be worse. I haven't used QuickKeys in
a while, but this should be about right.

First, create a button in each stack which sends you to the other stack. These 
two buttons would have to be background buttons _and be exactly the same_ so
that Hypercard thinks the backgrounds are still the same (refer to recent
discussion on this topic. Create the button in one stack, then copy and paste itinto the other one, so that their placement, name, etc, is the same.  Then
define a QuickKeys routine which would:  1) do menu command "Cut Card"  2) Do a mouse click on your 'to other stack' button. 3) do menu command "Paste Card"
4) mouse click on button to go back to the first stack.   Put them all together
in a sequence, and then go through the stack.
