2. then you just hope to get something, and are happy when you start to get offers in

3. Then suddenly it hits you, maybe you maximize what you can get and realize you don't have to sell immediately

4. Then you start to think about missing the cards and now that you know they have value you start second guessing

5 Then you really not attempt to sell your cards anymore unless you get a unrealistic BIN price you see on ebay

6. Go back to 1..

You forgot 5.1.....See a card that you have been looking for forever.

5.2 Buy it and smile.

i don't think I will EVER sell every card I own...most...sure...but I will always keep some that are special to me.

I have to say that seeing those cards "raw" like that is terrific. The 52 Bowman Mantle sitting loose on top of a pile of other 52 Bowmans. 57 Topps Williams sitting on a massive pile of other 57 Topps cards. It's a wonderful image.

+1...I was thinking the same thing. You don't see raw piles and binders like that everyday!

usually to get to 5.1 you just sold some cards to get out of the market..only to come back in to buy cards you like more with 'card money' so it not real money....
