Trying something new. Uncollecting my collection

gustomania · #1 02-01-2022, 01:54 PM

I am on a similar path and have been collecting Koufax since late 2019 and aside from upgrading and selling a couple everything has stayed in the PC.
I had a modest collection on junk wave that I sold off about 10 years ago that I wish I still had, just to look through but in many ways glad I paired it down.

Each and every year I have a weakness and pick up 3-4K of stuff and then sell it right away as it always comes back to Koufax for me (or at least it has until this point. So, to answer your question, I could have tons of fun with 50 Koufax cards from 55-67 and then maybe a modest PC of my childhood favorites from about 75 - 85.

So in my eyes, 100 cards or less I could enjoy and tell my kids a great story. And no, they dont have to be 51 and 52 Mantles to tell that story either.
