Trying something new. Uncollecting my collection

[Exhibitman]

I've already started chopping down the collection, somewhat. I am limiting my postwar collecting to certain years and certain stars from other years, and player collections for Aaron, Koufax and Rosen. Gotta have some balance somewhere in this. Surprisingly, the process of selling does not hurt like I thought it would, likely because I have no fond memories tied to the cards I am selling. Of course, my rule is that I don't sell what I will really miss.

I am on a similar path and have been collecting Koufax since late 2019 and aside from upgrading and selling a couple everything has stayed in the PC.
I had a modest collection on junk wave that I sold off about 10 years ago that I wish I still had, just to look through but in many ways glad I paired it down.

Each and every year I have a weakness and pick up 3-4K of stuff and then sell it right away as it always comes back to Koufax for me (or at least it has until this point. So, to answer your question, I could have tons of fun with 50 Koufax cards from 55-67 and then maybe a modest PC of my childhood favorites from about 75 - 85.

So in my eyes, 100 cards or less I could enjoy and tell my kids a great story. And no, they dont have to be 51 and 52 Mantles to tell that story either.
