Crossroads...
While I collected a lot in my youth - much of that was in the late 80's and 90's - the overproduced era. Still have much of those cards - though I sold off just about anything of value (aside from key rookies), which I turned into vintage. I've been collecting vintage for about 10 years now. Love it. Love the game - and its history, so the two just went hand in hand. I always thought I could collect with my kid(s) or at least pass down the collection.
However...
Sometimes things just don't work out or go exactly as planned. The "kid" ships is starting to sail and at this point in time - the money would do me much better now - and start building towards the future. I'm not one of them "I'm leaving this hobby" guys. Still love it and perhaps will get back into it at another time. I have other hobbies in mind to fill the void.
I might pick up a few minor cards this winter - but it's time to let it all go this spring. Feel a bit excited for a new beginning, actually.
