After many years away from the hobby, I’m diving back in. I’m going to start working on a couple of baseball and football sets that are 70 - 80% complete. My dilemma now is how to minimize the financing of them. Trading off or selling duplicates is definitely the first step. Where I am struggling is, do I sell off / trade some 1 off things, ie, autographed memorabilia, hockey, basketball, rare albums, comics, etc. Assuming equal value, do I sell an autographed baseball for an equal amount in cards?

I realize that collecting can get totally out of hand if not keeping your emotions in check, but what brings more joy in the end? Completing sets or a variety of cool things?

Thanks for your thoughts.
