In 2007, I sold my near set of T206 cards so that I could make a run at and ultimately secure Lionel Carter's Eddie Plank. It was definitely a strange thing watching a decade plus of cards collected going out the door, but an amazing thing happened at about the same time -- a bunch of autographed pre-war cards started showing up on ebay. My collection took on a different meaning for me -- what was once important to it was no longer important. The thrill of a different chase began and continues to this day.
Sounds like you already know this, but you will enjoy the catalog, the bidding, the event, etc. You will, I am certain, enjoy the payout. But, I know you will always find something to chase that you will be at least as passionate about in the future. Keep enjoying the ride!
