Chasing higher end cards for my collection is no longer fun or financially a option.

The profits will be very nice. You only need to get rich once, this could be the time. I have no fear, none when it’s gone it’s gone.

Has anyone else started this process ?

Please no emails soliciting interest in buying or consigning my collection, thanks.

Yes, sent stuff to REA in 2016, sent some more this year to REA spring auction

We're all having to adapt with this crazy surge in prices. If I were you I'd be thinking about the same things. My first thought was maybe you don't have to make a decision right away. You could sell a couple of your PSA 8s, then find nice looking raw VGEX or graded 4s to replace those two cards and see how it feels. Maybe it feels good, and you can use the rest of the money to keep going. Or maybe it wouldn't feel great.

I have often sold a card I had in midgrade in order to keep a lower grade copy that I also had and buy an additional couple cards with the rest of the money. That has always felt great to me because I'd rather have three nice looking 2-3s than one nice 5. But, if you are used to looking at really sharp corners, maybe it would be tough to drop down to VG or VGEX.
