Chris C’s post on another thread got me thinking. Collecting is such a fluid activity, interests change, circumstances change. So, with that said |

Wow, nothing that extravagent like Wagners, or nearly complete T206 sets, but I try and remind people that although you've sold some great rarities in past years, many have financed the purchase of other rarities with those proceeds. You got to give something to get something back! |

I sold my PSA 6 Hal Chase Pink on ebay awhile back after SGC pointed out to me that it would not cross over because of a faint corner crease. It sold for about $200. Recently, the same condition card sold for over $1,000 on ebay. That made me a bit ill, but I did use the sale of about 10 PSA cards, including that Chase, to finance the purchases of my SGC 40 Green Portrait Cobb and SGC 20 O'Hara St. Louis. So, you sometimes have to sell some to buy some. |

In 1989 I sold a very nice 1971-72 OPC hockey set (Dryden, Lafleur, Dionne), that I had collected as a 13 year old, for $160 to finance my growing love for all of those new and beautiful cards that were hitting the market. Realizing the idiocy of that decision, I have since repurchased an equally nice set for about $1,000. |

Saw this old thread, we've all gone through this but I wondered how many have started, now, re-collecting those sets. I know I have as I feel the time is right.

Really? I know they are worth a lot but not that much!
I've got at least 50-100 still on cards and quite a few of the ships, worlds, etc. still in box mint. Same goes with a few of the original transformers. I'm the perfect age for those and my parents seemed to have bought two of everything...one for me and my brothers to play with, the other as a backup when they inevitably got broken. But we revered Star Wars and Transformers enough to play nice. My parents to this day still have them locked away in storage.
