I collected pretty hardcore from 1984-2000. Late 2000, my Mom developed some serious health issues, as things were with my own life going I had one option left to me to help her: Sell my collection. So I did, and would do it again tomorrow if I had to. And in 2000 unlike now, one could get $80 for a PSA 9 1987 Donruss Greg Maddux, or $80 for a PSA 9 86 Donruss Canseco rookie. It hurt to part with everything for maybe 10 seconds. Looking back now, best collecting decision ever made on my part from that standpoint. And all is well with Mom, still kicking at 81
