I'd sell most of it and invest more in pre-war. You can always pluck out the some of your favorites for the long haul if you just don't feel right selling them right now.

a couple of years ago, while i was on Beckett...i traded a bunch of my modern cards for some or what looked vintage. Basically gave the shit away who wanted it more.
People there were team collectors, so i threw in a ton of Cowboys cards, didnt care who. Threw in a ton of Emmitt Smiths, Romos and etc. As long someone would enjoy them more than i did. I still got a ton of the modern crap left, I know i got the A&G stuff, i guess everyone kept the Erin Andrews/Kate Uptons.

Do whatever makes you happy. I would sell them. But I'm not you and what I would do wouldn't necessarily make you happy. I wouldn't have put money into modern stuff in the first place because I can't imagine it holding value. I remember seeing a Mile Zunino autographed rookie card at a shop for an insane price, and thinking, "even if he lives up to his potential (Jason Varitek or thereabouts) who is going to pay this same price in 20 years when his good but not great career is over? That said, I just collect vintage because I like it and it makes me happy. The fact that vintage holds it value is nice, but it's not why we collect. I would throw all this money in the stock market if my cards didn't make me happy.

Collecting
I have collected Topps sets from 1948 to 2014 and Fleer from 1923, and 1959 to 2007. I don't care what other people collect ( though I like hearing about and seeing their collections), and don't care what other people think I should collect. You should know best for yourself what you want to collect and why.

In the immortal words of Hal Lewis, collect what you like.

If you are speculating and hoping to make money off the Bowman then you may want to keep them. However, if you are just keeping them out of sense of being "the right thing" then I say dump them.
