Chris CountsWayne,
I learned years ago, after the first time I sold most of my collection, that a collector never needs to give up collecting. I'll probably never own the cards I once had ('33 Ruth, '34 Gehrig, '52 Topps Mantle, etc.), but I enjoy the cards I do have a whole lot more. Now, instead of striving to be a "serious" collector, I am simply a bargain hunter and a collector of flawed and/or underappreciated cards. There are so many great cards and related collectibles that are affordable ... you'll just never see them in a PSA 8 holder or a Mastro catalog ...
