But like many of us, he is a collecting lifer so has dived back in

Now someday, if I could only get him to set up at my show so I can advertise B&L Auctions will be there

Rich,

My point exactly. Leon sold to do better in life (by helping his daughter). her education will hopefully pay off in life rewards for the next 70 or so years. I did not know why he sold but it fits in what my point was. Thanks for pointing that out.

Peace, Mike

I am sort of convinced that nobody truly sells out but only retools and prepares for the next collecting chapter. Leon, I understand.

The impetus for me selling my collection was my daughter's college education. It was the plan from the start. Once I sold that much of it I figured I might as well just start over. The journey is a lot of the fun. And as to the orginal subject I feel paying it forward with our younger generation(s) is the one of the best things we can do.

Leon,
I am sure have somewhat of an idea of what cards you will be going after. Will they be cards you did not previously own, or restocking the collection you sold?

Hi Bill
I have no boundaries. I have already acquired a few cards back from the original collection. The difference is I am not trying for Every type card this time. I love the hobby and will continue collecting things I enjoy. At the top of this list is part of my new collection.

Leon,
If the above is a sample of a new start, can't wait to see your collection Part II. Good Luck to you.
