Selling 80% of your collection for ‘52 Mantle - would you?

[raulus]

How attached are you to the 80% that you would have to sell?

Is it just random stuff accumulated over the years that you mostly ignore anyway?

Personally, I rarely pick up stuff on a whim, so everything has an important and cherished place in my collection. And everything else is already for sale.

Since the pieces in my collection are integral to my collection and near and dear to my heart, I would be loath to part with them.

Add to it the fact that while I appreciate the 311 Mantle (DP) as a nice piece, it just doesn't get me excited like it seems to do for others. Nothing against the card itself, but for the prices they command, both in the absolute, and relative to other collectibles in the hobby, it's just not for me.

So there's really no way on God's green earth that I would consider doing it.
