Initially, I put it together as an investment while consolidating my collection drastically. But in all honesty, it will be hard for me to ever give them up. I've even started hanging onto my duplicates now so that if the time comes where I need to sell, I can start with those! I thumb through my binder nearly every day, am constantly upgrading cards, and am fascinated by them.
I'm not saying I'd never sell them. After all, it's still only cardboard. But for me, they've really gone from an investment to a personal treasure.

Hey guy
Your story is a great one, thanks for sharing it with us. And, I'm glad to hear that these cards are in a binder.
With all due respect to T206 collectors who have every one of their cards graded, I personally love to flip thru the plastic pages
of my sets. I don't think I would enjoy these cards as much if they stacked up (or sideways) within solid plastic holders.
Sure, I have some graded T206's in my sets; but, these were graded when I acquired them (especially HOFer's, certain stars, or
scarce backs).
