I have always planned for selling my collection to be my retirement job. I'm nearing 60 now and plan to work until 66 1/2. For now the plan is holding and I fully expect I will sell them for less than I might get now. The biggest thing that might tempt me is a single transaction deal.
Like a lot of people on this board, I am not really rich but comfortable. That makes the question how much would it take to be able to buy something I might enjoy more than my baseball cards. I like the idea of spending a few years finding good homes for my cards with collectors who would enjoy them. I might keep a couple for my kids. My son in particular is interested in baseball cards. The way I figure it though is that it would be a great disservice to give him my cards. The joy in cards is finding them, the people you meet and the advertures you have along the way. Why would I rob him of that?
