Looking for some card advice

[Bryan Long]

and I am agreeing with you, but it was a struggle in my head to give up that much. I agree with you though, I don't know if they will come around again for me. Thanks.

Sometimes all the money in the world cant buy the card you need because it is just not available.

Go for it!

For me, I always go after the hardest card to acquire first, if given the opportunity.

Hi Bryan,

I'm with Jim, et alia, especially Leon--if you can get the harder back now, the rest can be replaced. Go for it and post the card when it's in your hands. Good luck!

Cheers,
Mike

i agree with the majority sentiment...strike while the iron is hot...get the toughies for you may never have the chance again!

This is a tough decision, in my opinion. I've sold and traded plenty of cards over the years to add cards to whatever was my 'core focus' at the time. Never have I considered selling/trading something *in* my 'core collection' to add something to that very collection.

If I was faced with that decision it'd probably boil down to which group of cards I'd rather own -- those that I wish to obtain or those that I would have to give up to obtain them?

And in terms of giving up some tough cards, which card or cards am I more likely to have a chance to obtain again -- those that I wish to obtain or those that I would have to give up to obtain them?

Gut feel just based on how I read your initial question, those that you could obtain are more difficult, and although tough, those that you have are more likely to be re-obtained. Based on that, I say go for it

And on that note, something else you might consider: Perhaps those that buy the cards you sell are willing to give you the 'right to first refusal' if they ever decide to sell/trade those cards away.

Good luck, which ever way you decide to go.

Richard.

Metaphorically, it comes down to this. Are you taking one step ahead and then 2 steps back? Or are you taking a step ahead with no steps back? If you feel this situation is the latter, then by all means get your feet moving!

Very tough decision. I feel like if you think you can get what your getting rid of later than do it but sometimes its tough to let go of PC stuff. I hate selling my PC to buy something but sometimes its a deal you just cant miss so you gotta do it. Best of luck man

you can always borrow some money and buy the card then pay the loan back.
