Mixed feelings,
Best wishes on your retirement!
And as I always feel when someone with knowledge and experience retires from a hobby, a bit of sadness. I don't do much with autographs, so I was never a customer. But I did have a few to sell and miscommunicated the list of what I had. So a couple that would have been interesting really weren't. Jim was very patient and gracious about the entire thing. That's something that's not always common in businesses related to hobbies.
I'd encourage writing a book, as others have said. I have a few books written by dealers in other hobbbies about their time in the business and they're really interesting.
You'll certainly be missed, but I truly hope you enjoy whatever you decide to do next.
