That's why I sold my 1948 thru 1992 Topps sets after I came as close to completing them as my wallet / lovely wife would allow.

I lost money on the deal, but wasn't bothered by that on any level.

A non collector buddy of mine pointed out to me that I didn't spend much more for my vice (cards) than he had probably spent on his vices (drinking and smoking), but he wouldn't be selling his cigarette butts and empty beer cans and liquor bottles for anything close to what I got for my cards.
