I am just getting in so never thought of an exit strategy. My dads almost complete set of 52 Topps was handed down to me and I cherish it, but next month I will be selling all but 2 cards (Mantle PSA 3 & Mathews PSA 5) to help him fund his summer cottage renovation.
My 3 year old daughter owns 2 T206s, McIntyre and Jones because they have pink skies and she thinks they are neat. She gets to open the weekly packages that arrive and its a fun ritual that I want to continue. Between her and my son they will get the entire "collection" and they can do what they want with it.
My plan is to have high res scans of every card and do an annual Apple photo book of everything and keep building it up. I will more than likely keep the cards in it that I no longer own just for nostalgia/posterity sake.
