I just read through this thread and have definitely been there, but in different context. About a year ago, I just went nuts on busting wax (cases) and spent close to $5k...and maybe got $800-$1000 in return and I lost it. I went home got my safety deposit key, emptied it and went to LCS to sell my entire collection, which consists of many rare MJ inserts from 90's, MJ rookie and large quantity of vintage from 1955-1959. The LCS owner said, "take your cards home, think about it, and call me in a week"...I put my cards back in the bank and stopped buying wax at that point. We all learn as we do, almost a trial by fire effect. I enjoyed reading your journey and you have an amazing collection!
