Not vintage but I am a serious hoarder of 1989 Fleer Bill Ripken and Randy Johnson error variations. That sickness even includes cards with the most minor print defect.

C'mon, what kind of a collector would I be if I answered no?

I am right now. Every few years, I trim down my collection with a big sale (always keeping my favorites). My justification for this is, if I ever run into a situation where I need some money, I have cards to sell that wouldn't break my heart to part with.

I never have. I just hate having stuff lying around that I'm not really into. Have spent last year getting rid of stuff I bought on impulse but really am not really into. Not a hoarder.
Different strokes,

I did. I don't know what I was thinking. Even though the card in question was produced prior to the big 'card explosion' (post 1980), I should have know better.

I topped out at 42 copies and am now down to 10 of this only one graded):

whenever I've tried "hoarding" it blew up in my face...usually tougher commons.

Different strokes,
I have a few buckets/boxes of odds and ends I need to get rid of too. Last time I sent everything to a friend in San Antonio that loves doing ebay stuff, jonstats (sp?)....He paid a handsome price and my subtraction became an addition. Or as we called it, addition by subtraction.

All collecting is hoarding, sort of.. but that hasn't really been my downfall, yet.

When I was a teenager I had the brilliant idea to hoard 1987 Topps Will "The Thrill" Clark rookies. Had (still have) 20 of them. Modern rookies were all the rage and Clark was a sure-fire Hall of Famer -- or so it seemed at the time. Paid an average of about $4. Cheap lesson for $80.

Didn't Mickey Rooney say that...?
