When I sold my entire collection back in '03 - '04 and for the most part made a clean break as well. I sold everything that had value, but my heart was still in it! Even after everything was gone I found myself checking ebay, auction sites, and visiting the set reg. from time to time.
Over the years since I sold my cards I started buying a few items, mostly signed balls of the 500 home run club and a few team balls of the yankees, but it never had the same feeling as collecting cards! I'm just now starting to get back into the T206s.
I have no kids and my wife nor I want any so I won't be handing anything down, for me it will all go when it's time for retirement (thus the thread I started "If you had...") I've bought stocks, have a 401k but it's not as fun!! I would much rather be able to look and enjoy my "investment" Not sure I'd ever be able to just walk away....
