Heritage—My Wall of Cards Is On The Market

[oldjudge]

Good luck my brother. Don’t forget the 19th century in your new ventures. Remember that 1887 was Detroit’s first championship season, albeit in the NL.

Without the Wagner and Doyle it is ranked #3!!!

Likely would have been #1 with them - Holy crap!

The condition of the cards in the top few sets....I wouldn't have even guessed it was possible to build it in those grades

1 - this is incredible.

2 - this is incredible.

3 - I never knew I was poor. now I know.

Awesome set.

I'm always curious as to what causes a life-long collector to sell. Is it need for money elsewhere? Does the passion go away after the set is complete? Is it planning for the next stage of life? Is the potential sale value simply too high to ignore?

I'm relatively early in my collecting career (I think), and can't wrap my mind around selling a collection I've spent so much time building. If it's something you're comfortable sharing, I'd love to know why you're moving on from this set

None were for sale and then I was approached to sell my Wagner and Doyle. I was hesitant, but the offers were strong so I did it. I then decided to sell
my high grade set as the market is hot and keep my mid grade set minus the big 4. I’m still very much in the hobby, but accomplished my goal of 524 and displaying them for 2 years at the Detroit Institute of Arts. I’m still
in the hobby, but up for new challenges....

I'm so grateful to have seen your exhibit at the DIA. My father never really collected cards so it was a way for me to show him my passion for cards, and it gave us a great excuse for a father/son experience that didn't revolve around going to the bar (that was later.)
