Thinking about calling it a day on collecting.

I AGREE 100%!
A wonderful place to immerse yourself in a very rich part of baseball history.
My first visit to the nlbm I got the privilege to meet Buck O'Neil just before he passed. I feel pretty lucky.

Sell some stuff and buy a surfboard. The sharks aren't as ferocious and it's a healthier hobby.

Jeff- Thanks for sharing Buck with us! I wanted to meet him ever since Ken Burns Baseball first aired...but never got the opportunity...but, in his spirit, I will not complain about not getting an opportunity - we were all blessed to have 'gotten to know' that great man! And, yes, you should feel very lucky!

Jeff, you are so lucky to have met Buck O'Neil. I'd have given just about anything to sit down with him for an hour or two to talk about the history of the Negro Leagues. Mr. O'Neil is one of the greatest ambassadors the game of baseball has ever known. People that truly love the game, as I do, should feel fortunate that Mr. O'Neil did as many interviews and documentaries as he did. He may be gone, but we'll always have his incredible memories.



Brian, I've been where you are now. I got so burned out on baseball card collecting that I just quit. This was in my early twenties. It was only about five years ago when it dawned on me that I used to have so much fun collecting, and that I wanted to do it again. So, I have to agree with everybody else. Don't quit the hobby. Take a break, a long one if needed. And if you ever feel that itch to start collecting again, jump back in.

Bottom line, do what you think will make you happy. I wish you the best of luck with whatever you choose.
