Oriole, your not alone. I'n the last 3.5 years I can count on one hand
the items I've purchased relating to card collecting. I did make one
large purchase recently, but that was an anomaly. I keep waiting for
the collecting bug to bite me again, but thus far nothing. I've got
mixed feeling about this. I 've even thought of selling portions of my
collection - something I wouldn't have even considered just a few
years back.

Perhaps Barry is right, maybe it's a new stage of life where things I
held as "untouchable" are not as meaningful to me today, and perhaps
I can foresee a time when I don't need to possess them any longer.
