Completed sets: Sell or Keep
Hi all,
What do you do with your completed or near completed sets. Do you sell them and start something new or keep them and start something new. |

Of the 2 vintage sets I've completed...1 is currently up for auction...the other I am keeping...for now!!!!
I have a short attention span...and a lot of money tied up in my set...so It'll most likely be sold someday to pursue other things. |

I have a couple complete vintage sets (lacrosse, not baseball). I plan to hold onto them, perhaps get them graded. Eventually I may sell them or donate them to the Canadian Lacrosse Hall of Fame in British Columbia. Of course, I fully expect a wing of the museum to be named after me.

Always a temptation to sell them off, esp. if there is a good profit to be had.

I would venture to guess that no one starts a set with eventually selling it in mind, though decades are a long time to keep something and not get bored with it (insert wife joke here).
Art collectors are often grooming and reshaping their collections to keep them fresh and interesting. I look at cards the same way. I think a lot of collectors would agree that the only thing I will never sell is stuff from their childhood and/or of sentimental value. The great majority of my sets (sets make up 90% of my collection) are for sale for the right price, as building them is a lot more fun than owning them once their done, IMO.

The little dog is Auggie and the father is Doggie Daddy. I suppose my avatar is misleading since it depicts both characters.
