I have a few collections, plus a bunch of stuff I bought to sell.
I don't have much trouble selling the stuff I bought to sell, aside from laziness about actually doing it.
The collections though......I seldom sell something. I've sold two "collection" cards since I joined, both going to collections that the cards just fit better. I still have a few minor pangs when I see them, but that's balanced by knowing they're in really great specialized collections.
Before joining, the last time I sold cards from the collection was I think 1985 or 86. I sold a 48 Bowman set and a couple T206s to fund a ski trip. I still regret selling the Bowman set. It was probably one of the worst sets. Berra was colorized with crayon - A yellow uniform? Maybe the kid went on to design the Padres uniforms. About 10 cards were worn round from flipping and were waxed as well. Musial had paperloss on the front, and One of the other better cards had stapleholes. I think only 3 or 4 were as good as VG.
There's a few "inventory" things that I thnk are just waiting for the right home. (Anyone collect Rexall drug store memorabilia? )
And before anyone asks, Yes I have way too much stuff.
