Wow, some really nice cars there. Back in 2006 I too sold some cards for a big down payment on my 2006 Corvette.

The blue one.

1984, sold my entire card collection in order to buy animation art. Basically a whole bunch of T3's, T206, T205 for original Disney drawings and cels. The animation art market then went nuts in the late eighties, early nineties, so I sold everything bar two pieces and bought our house.

I have a folder with all the buy prices for the cards. It would make you weep nowadays, but same would be said for the art. No mortgage trumps all though.

Funny, just asked the Queen what she and her sister might like for their birthday. Her answer was a nite on the town in Boston that should include seats for Billy Joel at Fenway Park. Just started looking for the tix and it appears I might be selling on the B/S/T any day now ! PS as far as cars go, sold the 73 vette for a 92 then the 92 turned into a 2007 Cobalt.

1960 MGA and 1962 TR3B both sold to corner the market on Keith Hernandez and Willie Wilson rookie cards.

I wanted to retire at age 61 instead of 62, and did a bunch of financial juggling to come up with money to get me thru that first year with no Social Security, and part of that was selling a lot of my collection.

Needless to say, its now 5 years later, and i have re-bought most of those cards over the last few years!! How many of you have re-bought cards you used to have? I bet a bunch of you guys have done that.
