Default 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.

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.

Once I committed to Pre-War, I quickly determined that it is true what they say. You CANNOT serve two masters. I was nudged to sell my Post -War stuff by a pending job crunch (which I wound up avoiding) and was able to pay a bill or two, save a decent chunk (to calm the wife) and have been able to attack the Monster full bore. I also have been able to dabble in other sets such as T212-2, T212-3 (I decided to skip the Olde English), The T207 and T210 (staying with the lower Series for now), the Mecca Double Folds and even a few M116 and M101-4/5. If I was still chasing 50s/60s Topps and Bowman as well, I would be scuffling to get anywhere.

Bill, there is only one way to go.
