I can say I'm in a similar boat. I'm a set collector and a completionist. I have every Topps, Bowman, Fleer, Donruss and Upper Deck set full run ( Dave for 52 Topps High #s and an incomplete 48 Bowman)
These days I've resorted to odd ball set runs (Kellogg's 1970-1983, Hostess 75-79) Red Man etc.)
With the challenge of complete set runs pretty much done I've toyed with dumping everything and picking up key cards like a 52 Topps Mantle, a 33 Goudey Ruth, T206 Cobb etc. I figure that way, when I'm gone my family won't have to hassle with selling sets and can easily liquidate a few key cards.
My only problem is... I'm not sure I'm done having my set run yet.
I'm not sure what it will take before I finally make a decision.
