Sometimes I ever translate the fantasy as -- sure I have bills, but that's an intrinsic part of having this collection; if I would only sell the collection then I wouldn't have the bills, so it cancels itself out.
For me, once I plucked 200k out of what I had it would have taken some wind out of the sails. So it was a good time to do what I should have done some time ago, financially speaking. I would think no finanicial advisor would tell you to have an inordinate percentage of your net worth in baseball cards. But I guess that too is debatable.
