Default Selling your collection

While I haven't taken the plunge to sell off my entire collection, I have sold off chunks of it at various times to fund other interests outside the hobby, including a trip to Europe with my wife and, most recently, what will soon be converted into some new camera equipment and a Mac so that I can "take the next step" with my photography.

In my experience, it has always been worth it to sell and reinvest in your other interests. The fact that you have reached the point where you've given it a lot of serious thought implies that you're probably ready.

I also agree with a previous poster - why not buy a nice scanner if you don't have one already and scan your collection before selling it? I actually photographed my B18 set before starting to sell it off. True, pictures aren't the same; but they're still great to have and, after all, baseball cards are really a type of picture in and of themselves...
