Like a lot of people on this board, I am not really rich but comfortable. That makes the question how much would it take to be able to buy something I might enjoy more than my baseball cards.

I like the idea of spending a few years finding good homes for my cards with collectors who would enjoy them. I might keep a couple for my kids. My son in particular is interested in baseball cards. The way I figure it though is that it would be a great disservice to give him my cards. The joy in cards is finding them, the people you meet and the advertures you have along the way. Why would I rob him of that?

You’re so lucky to have a son interested in baseball cards. It’s a great way to keep the connection. My son is only into roblox! And my other two kids are more interested in mommy’s makeup and purses (already). Enjoy that!
