Virtually every collector reaches a fork in the road where you come to the realize that you can't collect everything for several reasons including the monetary side of things.

You are best to find a focus that really interests you and knock the crap out of that theme. At the end of the day you will find yourself enjoying the hobby more.

Scott, don't you know that when you get to a fork in the road, you take it? LOL

thanks guys for your responses i appreciate it. i wanted to clarify one thing. my credit card debt is NOT from buying cards. it is from unexpected life emergencies and other expenses but NOT from card collecting. i was using that as a reference to explain or ask, why do i have debt but a ton of cards meaning should i sell off my collection to pay off my debt. since starting this thread i have decided to refocus and re prioritize. the first thing i did was reduce my buying/spending i have cut my buying/spending on cards by 95%! second, i made two stacks, one was a thing to sell and one was a small box that i put everything i wanted to keep. once the small box was filled, that was it everything else i am selling! looking at my pile to sale if i sold everything i will be debt free! i will now just keep a very small percentage of my current collection and sell everything else. i mentioned the tires as an example of how nice it was to sell cards to pay for items i needed. This thread has been a big eye opener on me spending less and selling more. ive sold a ton of cards already and it sure is nice to have some extra cash to pay down my debt. now i ask you, if someone offered you cash for your collection would you sell it all? i would in a heart beat sell if offered cash for my collection!!

Good news, Bam Bam. Sounds like you are making some wise decisions.

To answer your question, I would sell my whole collection if someone offered me a sick amount of cash. If I had to guess, I could probably sell 75% of my collection and not miss it too much, but that other 25% would be killer. That's what I would need the sick cash for.
