Thank you for sharing. I think you've touched on something I've recently experienced with my own collection, but had never been able to articulate. I've been fortunate to buy some really nice cards, but they sit in boxes or drawers and seldom see the light of day. I don't feel the strong connection I should feel to some very special pieces, and I lack the motivation to complete simple projects that I should really enjoy.
I've recently dabbled in some T206 commons, and found that I really enjoy being able to handle them without worrying about destroying thousands of dollars in value. They're visible, available, and I am interacting with them daily; I've been much happier with this than any set I've worked on in years.
