Leon, good for you!

I had to agonize with the same decision a few years ago....sell my golf card collection or keep it....have a bunch of money for a down payment on the home we will retire in and set aside money for my youngsters college education...or pull the cards out of the boxes and look at them once and awhile

You can always get back into the cards...I mean the real fun is the thrill of the chase isn't it?

Best of luck with the sales!!!

Leon, I have to say this is probably the most fun way I've ever seen to save for a child's education. Congrats on both counts. I'm certain you've had a blast with your collection and now look what an awesome gift it'll give your daughter!

Default Hope it doesn't turn out like my daughter

Her mother and I divorced when she was 10,"mother" took her out of state with her brother, mother stole her high school work money from her savings account, told her the SAT's were cancelled so she wouldn't have to pay for the SAT's, refused to drive her around to college campuses....

Partially through baseball card sales, I did all the above, paid for all education, loans, rent, most of her food etc. Flew to her job interview after college for which she was hired. ---sort of what a good parent SHOULD do, especially since she also worked through college as a nanny to pay her other expenses ..

Haven't heard from her after she left for her job in Denver 10 months ago

peace out
