I went through a phase when I wanted to get rid of "everything not pre-World War 1" and sold off 7-8 years ago: exmt sets of 1955 Bowman, 1956 Topps, 1959 Topps, 1960 Topps, 1961 Topps, 1962 Topps, 1965 Topps all baseball, Topps standups and a 1951 Topps Magic Football set exmt, 1955 Topps All-American football set exmt, and exmt sets of 1954 and 1955 Bowman football and 1960, 1961, 1962, 1964, and 1966-1978 football along with various other cards and sets.
Big mistake, the prices have skyrocketed since then.
I also went through the "I don't want to collect these sets anymore" and sold off some really nice E-97s (had 90% of the set), a large group of E98 duplicates, many 1911 and 1912 Zeenuts in great shape and complete sets in about excellent of E95 and E96.
Huge mistake.
I plowed all that cash back in to other cards though so I didn't come out too badly and have re-started collecting the Zeenuts again, at a much higher price though, sadly
