Thanks, Curt. I feel your pain, bro. Counting up the times my family and I have moved since 1985 comes to six moves. You cull through your things, thinking about what your wish to save, and what you honestly believe at the time you won't ever want again. Wading through large stacks of old Sports Collectors Digest, tearing out an article here, an ad there, a kazillion decisions.
The worst decisions were the cards and sets I thought AT THE TIME I didn't really want. I barely got "OK" money for them, only to find a half generation later I wished I had never ever sold them (i.e. a near complete set of 1952-55 Dormand postcards, a complete mint set of 1962 Topps Civil War News, and a mint (probably not technically, based on PSA's impossible standard for MINT with these) 1953 Stahl-Meyer Franks Whitey Lockman from Rob Lifson's find in the summer of '75. Their values all skyrocketed from the late 80s /early 90s when I parted with them. However, in all honesty, I want them back for their sheer beauty.
Curt, you and I well know the saying, "Life is full of decisions". As the immortal Fred Flintstone was known for saying-----"Uhhh Boy."
Thanks for wanting to help me. Stay safe, and have fun anyway.
