Yes, I sold my whole card collection in 2015. The impetus was my daughters college tuition. I figured after I sold a few hundred k to pay for it (it will be a bit more with her Masters) then I might as well sell everything and start over. And I always said I was way too heavy in cards, financially, relative to the few pennies of cash in my piggy bank. But I never intended to get out, just downsize and start over. It took away some financial stress doing it so that was good. I think it was also good for the forum (I am sure some disagree) as I was able to get rid of a few pain-in-my-rear members and not care about the consequences.
