Hi Brian,
Ever since I joined Net 54 several years ago, I have thoroughly enjoyed your frequent and enthusiastic participation on Net 54. Just today, I marveled at the many very tough Schapiras, W503s, V89s, etc. that you showed in the Roaring 1920's thread. To me, you are obviously a collector who loves scarce cards regardless of condition, as do I. And, I suspect that collecting has been too much a part of your life for too long a time for you to be able to walk away from the hobby and not regret doing so a year from now. So, I fully concur with the other members who suggest that you take a break from collecting and, unless there is a financial need, not part with your cards, especially the scarce ones (except, perhaps, for your WaJo and Sam Rice cards that I covet
), until you are absolutely sure collecting is outta your system.
Best, whatever you decide,
Val
