If you sell something (stock, card, other), you have to put the
money into something else. When considering selling, you have
have to take into account the something else. If in 1999 you transfered
your Microsoft profits into Enron stock, you will now wish you
kept your money in Microsoft even if the Microsoft stock has gone down the
lasts few years.

It's like when a sports team fires a good coach because he only went 9-7.
The organizations often don't ask what should be the obvious
question: "If we fire this coach, can we hire someone better?" If the answer
to the question is no or unlikely, you should probably keep your current
coach. Duly note that teams regularly fire their 8-8 or 9-7 coachs, then look
for a new coach-- as opposed to identifying a better coach, then firing their
current coach.

Whether or not taking the $$ on a high end T206 is the best idea, I don't
know. However, there are worse places to keep your money than in
high grade T206s.

Looking at the current prices and stability of T206s, perhaps the best investing
advise would be to sell T206s and invest that money in T206s.
