Im going to ramble for a second so pardon me for that.

Ultimately, I am a "set collector" and I never accumulate cards that dont fall into 1 of those sets. At one time I had a HOF set (modest, but relatively complete) that I had to sell (marry well, ladies and gentlemen, marry well). I have a player set of cards from a 50s player that is related to my wife. That wont be sold off anytime soon. And I have an additional "set" that Ive been working on for 20+ years. Ive sold off lower grade duplicates, but thats it. In all of those cases, it makes no sense for me to sell unless Im liquidating the set, which I generally hope to never do.

I might dip my toes back into the HOF one day soon, but Im not sure if I'll attempt a complete set or not and that really messes with my head in trying to visualize what my collection would look like. In short, what prevents me from selling also prevents me from buying!
