And who can blame you. What a train wreck.

Yes, I know. Dumb decision on my part.

This is just such a strange thread. My only advice is not to get too attached to these pieces of cardboard with pictures of baseball players who 99% of the world doesn't know anyway. Oh sure it's a neat hobby that so many of us enjoy, but when it causes such a rush and frenzy of emotion I seriously think it's time to call it a day. Just a FYI, I have sold my collection and started over several times and have never regretted it.

We can end the thread. I was hoping not to come off as a train wreck. I didn't want this to be a strange thread. It has been helpful and cathartic - and I will always appreciate the advice offered.

After I get through selling this stuff, I will take a break and stop as you recommended. When on, I will go back to lurker status and just read and learn.

I'm a pup in this pound of dogs we call net54, so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about. But man, Kevin, if you look at the soul-exposing intensity of your first post, is your most recent post (the one with the new plan) any less intense or raw or emotional? I don't think so, not at all, even if you're convinced you have a clear informed mind about this now.

I'd go back to what the 2nd poster said, and just calm down. Do nothing. It's been a whopping 5 hrs since you poured your heart out onto this forum and strayed from selling the whole lot. Any new plan you come up with should be able to stand the test of time if it's really legit. If I were in your shoes, I'd do nothing involving this decision for at least a week.
