This is fascinating stuff. Lots of lawyers, dentists and doctors on here I know. Any psychiatrists? Just kidding.
Adrian, I have nothing against you, though I was somewhat taken aback by your apology to Nelson for thinking he was from the USA. You guys can have Justin Bieber back by the way.
Good to hear that you hope to pay off your mortgage. That does show good sense. I don't think of my collectibles as investments. Real Estate, stocks, bonds, mutual funds are investments. So, pay off your mortgage if you can, secure your future including retirement and then spend on what makes you happy. Baseball cards can be part of that. For some folks here, it is a big part.
Again Adrian, I don't know you but you seem to be quite a bit younger than many of us here. You will find that this is a very diverse group. There are members here who make $20,000 a year and others who make that much in a couple of days. Usually, we don't comment on how much we are spending because a) it is nobody's business and most of us know what cards cost anyway and b) it is nobody's business. In this day and age, it is no difficult feat to track down someone from the information they post online. It can be dangerous to let strangers know that you are coming into a lot of money or that valuables are being delivered to you. I wish you the best of luck but caution you to think about being more discreet.
