Sorry to hear that. I imagine it is a tough day.

I have been wavering back and forth over the past few months of selling my collection to help facilitate buying a condo up in Stamford.. Commuting from Queens NY to there daily is a drag but unfortunately job relocations happen... The only thing holding me back is the feeling of regret I will probably have if/when I sell.

I sold some cards to buy a Brandon Bird painting a few years ago.

Ha, yes I sold nearly all my '50s and later cards...to buy pre-war....

Yes...it is just furniture...and it can always be refurbished! Or if IKEA...thrown away!!!!

Next month when I get back to NJ, I'm selling some cards to help my friend get back to square one. She suffered from depression after her mom died and started hanging out with the wrong crowds, which led to some legal trouble and she lost her car and her job. I helped her out a little in the Summer, but she just lost her new job because she had to move back home and has no license. So I'm going to get her to break even, give her my old car and a second chance.

So when I sell some cards in March, and I'm sure it will be someone here, whoever buys them will be helping out a really sweet girl who just made a couple bad decisions when she was vulnerable.

That is a great thing! From working in the criminal justice system I have seen countless people get into a lot trouble because there was nobody there to help them back up when they stumbled.
