That's just it though. The cards I'd miss most are the ones I'm unlikely to see come up for sale again in my lifetime. The Mantle may be hard to pay for, but it isn't hard to find.

I think for many of us, the question hinges on what exactly is in our collection. I'd be more hard pressed to part with a rare issue that doesn't come up often.

The 1952 Mickey Mantle may perhaps be the very easiest Topps card from the 1950's to find. At any point in time there are all kinds of offerings of the card - but at not exactly friendly prices.

Glenn, considering the one card you sold me and others I've seen you post, I have much respect for your eye in finding the rarest of the rare.

If my collection consisted of a large group of 1987 Topps or Donruss, you damn right I would.

Well in that case I'd probably say wait until you can afford it without liquidating your collection. But this is obviously a personal decision with many factors that only you can evaluate.

I have personally considered selling off several cards to get a grail type card for me like a Ruth RC or signed Goudey and am leaning towards it. But anything I'd sell I would see again if missed.
