Trouble letting go

[pawpawdiv9]

I have told myself. Just keep the 51 &52 Mick and perhaps the 48 Paige. Other than that, the others could be sold if need in case of emergency or something rare comes up, but you should not count on this and never buy what you cant afford. Never put yourself in a hole. Keep in mind this is suppose to be fun collecting. Stash away a few bucks each pay check and only spend whats there. You surely dont want to double-dip and take things away from the family, like trips or nights out, otherwise you'll end up with some unhappy meals.

I've been there. Often. Often.

It's tough, but you'll feel really good about yourself for selling them; helps build character.

Besides, as DeNiro would say in HEAT:

"That's the discipline."

Sell it. It's better to have one big valuable card than several smaller less valuable cards.

Thanks guys, yea Chris I wouldn't buy anything I couldn't afford. That was just how I justified it to myself before I bought it. Now that I have it I'm having second thoughts about getting rid of the cards.

And Matt I've seen a few of the cards you've sold off recently. Must be to pick something up that's way out of my league.

My problem is upgrading. I will upgrade a card, "tell" myself that I can sell the lower grade card I am replacing....that never happens; duplicates and quadruplicates.

If anyone was curious the card I picked up is a 52 Mantle. I posted it in the pick up thread. I've decided to follow the original plan and sell the cards I planned to. Thanks for the responses.

Which card are you letting go? All the ones you have are awesome.

[pokerplyr80]

E90-1 Cobb, Wagner, Mathewson, and 41 play ball reese and ted williams. I was considering the CJ wagner, but I think I'm going to keep that one

Nice Mantle you picked up. That's good you are selling I believe it's better to have one great mt rushmore card than several lesser cards. Quality over quantity.
