Unfortunately, considering getting completely 100% out. Advice/thoughts?

So I will prob. hang on to some things for them. Also my signed 1954 Topps set (which I forgot all about during this decision) that I'm working on will stay until completion as I "only" need 30-something auto's left until its done.

so not getting out 100%, i am vindicated...didnt take long...

Wow. . . . that seems pretty petty. Guy is trying to sort through some difficult sh*t and you stuck around just long enough to be "vindicated". What can I say other than Congratulations. You won something somehow.

Agree 100%. Jake, that's a bit of a low blow.

sorry but Jake was wrong (poor guy) I will not be pulling out. I will try to take my time with this so with the exception of a good offer for the entire collection, I won't be having a fire sale but will instead continue to listen to offers and take a few months to get rid of everything (at least thats the plan right now).

guys..hes taking it in stride..not a low blow to him...you can see he is open for discussion....if not 100% out i am vindicated....but i hope to be wrong and you stay in...after all most of us downsized what we used to have so we all have only partial of what we used to have.....

its fine whatever you decide i wish you joy and happiness....if you end up not 100% out thats fine too..i just vindicated..

Sorry to hear about your situation. If you're signed Cobb is indicative of the rest of your collection, I'm sure you'll have no problem moving it when and where ever you choose. As Leon mentioned, and recently did himself, perhaps you can sell your collection and use the money now and get back in later.

well I forgot about my set, so for now, no not 100% but you are wrong as I will be getting rid of close to 99% of my collection (sorry to burst your bubble) and once the set is complete it will go as well, unless I get a damn good offer for it now then I will sell it too!
