had to sell my partial set of T205's when I lost my father. It was my first tobacco era stuff i collected and didn't want to sell but needed some money in the tough times. Speaking of that its been 3 years today since I lost my father.

I have been wavering back and forth over the past few months of selling my collection to help facilitate buying a condo up in Stamford.. Commuting from Queens NY to there daily is a drag but unfortunately job relocations happen... The only thing holding me back is the feeling of regret I will probably have if/when I sell.

I sold some cards to buy a Brandon Bird painting a few years ago.

Next month when I get back to NJ, I'm selling some cards to help my friend get back to square one. She suffered from depression after her mom died and started hanging out with the wrong crowds, which led to some legal trouble and she lost her car and her job. I helped her out a little in the Summer, but she just lost her new job because she had to move back home and has no license. So I'm going to get her to break even, give her my old car and a second chance.
So when I sell some cards in March, and I'm sure it will be someone here, whoever buys them will be helping out a really sweet girl who just made a couple bad decisions when she was vulnerable.

I sold my entire collection HOF's from 1948-61 in 99' for the same reason. We collected together, painful to part with but had to do it. 15 years and it still isn't easy, just have to think about the good times every day.

Well I sold off some of the big pieces of my collection to help my oldest son in Med School. But finally it is starting to come to an end! Will graduate this August ,and not a moment to soon for my bank account! (Not to mention my collection)
 Would I do it again? I will let you know when Im old and feeble and have someone to take care of me! Top row third from the left. And believe it or not it all started with a baseball scholarship!

Way off the original subject, but
my senior year in college, I needed one hour of PE credit. Having already taken bowling and weight training, I looked the syllabus over and took badminton. Me and 31 girls. Had a great time, and met a lot of great young ladies.
Had told my son about that and he thought it was creepy. Then last year, his senior year in college, he needed one hour of PE credit. What did he take? Badminton. He and 15 girls (smaller school). Told me later was the best elective he had taken. Dad wasn't so creepy after all.

My wife is in here 3rd year of med school. It's been one of the toughest things we have been though together. Can't wait for it to be over so we can enjoy each other.

I sold a pretty rare Old Judge card to partially fund the repairs we need to make to our house at the New Jersey shore that suffered extensive damages from Super Storm Sandy. Sadly, that's a card I will likely never be able to replace.

Sold some vintage cards early last year to purchase and install new Legendary interior in my 1973 Dodge Charger hemi orange 440/4 speed.
My wife never wanted to drive in the charger so I sold the charger late last summer and bought a 2002 Chevrolet Corvette convertible, with the rarer white exterior and red interior color combination. She loves the car and drove it as much as she could before it was stored for the winter. We also spent a lot of time driving it on Saturday's last fall. So I guess I have some vintage card money in my corvette!
