Sacrificing a Set to Buy a Dream Card Dilemma

[Vintagevault13]

This is purely a personal decision. There seems to be an overwhelming number advising you to sell the set and buy the dream card. Nothing wrong with this advice at all. I take a different approach to collecting as I am primarily a set collector. To me, sets are like a time capsule for a particular era. While we remember the Cobbs, Ruths, Mantles, Aarons, etc., the common players, and many of the interesting stories surrounding them, have added immensely to baseball's lore. While I enjoy looking at my 1954 Aaron, I equally enjoy pulling out the binder holding my 1965 set and looking at the players that defined the game at that point in history.

Again, no wrong answer to your question. Do what makes you happy. Just offering another viewpoint. Good luck with your decision.

Whelp! Looks like I was not fast enough as the buyer told me the card sold. FWIW, the card was the M110 Sporting News Honus Wagner Cabinet and what I was selling off was pieces of a 1914 CJ set I am building. Appreciate all of the advice... will certainly have a better grasp next time on what to do and how quickly to move.
