The other is considering selling most or all of his collection. Profits will go into investments or savings. He said the hobby has past him and would rather have value in other areas.

Am I the only one not selling? Some days it feels like it. What a strange time in the hobby these days.
Most of my collection has been sold, not for the money, but my age.
