+1000. This is the conundrum/rub
I do think things are alarmingly expensive and in the short term it may not be a bad idea to take some chips on the table. But my experience is that over the last 35-40 years, the good cards have continued to go up in value. Long term, I think Cobbs, Ruths, Wagners, Jackson, HOFers from blue chip sets and rare stuff of HOFers are worth more tomorrow than today. So the decision to sell is permanent - if I sell something, I will likely not get it back. You can’t take it with you, so the question is: Is there a better use for the money, either as an alternative investment or personal (tuition, house, retirement, other interest, etc)
