For what fun thing would you sell all/some of your cards?

Before West Virginia choked away a shot at the BCS title, I had decided that if they made the championship game in New Orleans, I would sell whatever I had to sell to be there in person. Well, Pitt took care of that. But I would have been willing to part with a good chunk of my T206 collection to fund the trip. (I have about 25 percent of the set, including a low-grade O'Hara, a nice psa 4 red Cobb, many other HOF'ers.)

Has anyone ever sold off a piece or all of his/her collection to pay for a big vacation, a car, a once-in-a-lifetime experience? Or hypothetically, what kind of thing would inspire you to sell, and how far would you go? I probably could have kept my big cards but would have had to sell a bunch of commons, and maybe a few HOF'ers. But it would have been worth it to me because opportunities like that don't come along very often for West Virginia fans.

How about you guys? For what would you be willing to part with your cards?

P.S. I'm not referring to selling off cards to pay for an emergency. Fun things/experiences only.
