Calling Net54 Retirees....tell us how Retirement has influenced your hobby activities

Great posts, all of you. Ted, glad you got this thread started.

I'm going to gradually slow down with work. I have given thought to taking on fewer new clients, eventually vacating my office, and then meeting clients somewhere in the courthouse. For me it won't be a sudden change from working to not working.

I think part of the change is focusing on exactly what you want to collect or to continuing to collect; and minimizing the random acquisitions of stuff that doesn't exactly fit with what your focus is. Then after that, do you start selling off, or do you leave it to a spouse or kids to sell?

I too confess that this is me: "some of the duplicates I bought (due to my lack of organization)." I have cards that I didn't initially realize were duplicates. JCRedBird's Cardinals Fan confession actually is a twofold confession. 1- having duplicates due to a lack of organization, and 2- "sell off some"... That's me, too. Having discovered unintentional duplicates, I have then sold or traded some of them, but not all.
