Thanks, guys. For me it is a permanent change. My goal is to go into my retirement years [I hope] with a card collection that is fun and has virtually no money into it.

Throw me into that pile as well. I sold almost all of my graded cards earlier this year. For example, I had a 1954 Bowman PSA graded football set that I sold off. I was sad about selling it until I realized how much it would cost me to get an Ex-Mt set of the same (about 20 percent). My goal is ultimately to complete the Topps/Bowman football sets from 1948 to the present (minus the stupid inserts and crap) and Topps baseball from 1970 to the present, plus a few of my older favorites (1956, 1959, 1960, 1963, 1967 Topps - 1955 Bowman - 1940 Play Ball). With EVERY card being raw!!!

Fun thread! The last few days, I have started thinking about slowing down on the complete set building and focusing more on individual players. I'd like to start with Ted Williams. I figure I might collect him in the near future. If I hit a wall or just get restless, I can switch to Mantle, Aaron, Clemente, etc. I want to do this because it tends to take me quite a while to finish a set. I have been working on 57 and 59 Topps. I see so many other cards that I would like to have, I just start to wanting to do something else for a while. Call it collectors' ADD I guess. Ted has always been a favorite, and I have been seeing some good deals on mid grade cards lately. I used to have several of his cards but sold them. It will be fun to reacquire them and then some.
