Would you take this deal?

Screw the deal. Keep the card and you won't regret it. Plus you can stop agonizing about it. There are a thousand stories from folks on the Board, including me, about cards they have regretted selling or trading.

+1. I vote for a law that says once something is taxed it can't be taxed again!

When I sold my first collection the tax bill was a doozy.

I don't sell anything. My heirs will inherit at market value and pay no taxes and I don't have to worry about taxes by selling.

Sadly, the government wants all they can muster for important programs. How else would we study the feasibility of if selective crossbreeding for creating real jackalopes is sound and how we will then properly fit them with knit caps safely?

Just wait for the fun when the silliness of 'unrealized gains' slides into the picture eventually...
