Sold your cards to fund......

[frankb22]

Broke up my HOF back run and sold a PSA7 UZIT/Marquard, a
PSA4 Drum/ Speaker and a SGC60 BL460/WalterJohnson in the
Fall REA auction. The rest of the backs go this year plus a lot of
the remaining slabbed T206s. In the process of buying a small
house just outside of Rome that I plan to retire in. The proceeds
from the cards will hopefully cover it. Killed me to have to part
with those cards but in the end it will be worth it.

The first time I sold off part of my collection to pay for my wife and my honeymoon. My wife has been more than generous helping find and replace the ones that hurt the most.
This past year I sold off half of my Hall Of a Fame collection to pay for a second honeymoon. I gave it to my wife for her 40th birthday.

I have never met a man that did not PAY for his wife.

I've sold some of my treasured autographed astronaut photos to buy cards, but not the other way around. Unfortunately, the cards I bought were new boxes not vintage cards. I'm still kicking myself for that.

Awhile back, my wife (who was my fiancee' at the time) and I went to meet one of her friends for dinner. Her friend remarked about how we met on Match.com and whether it was expensive. Without missing a beat and with a straight face on me; I replied "Most expensive purchase I've ever made."

Those were some big time cards Frank, I remember seeing them. Good luck with your Rome endeavors, beautiful place! I'm sure those cards provided a nice chunk for you towards that house.
