If you have some time, I would like your opinion...

Downsize further.
For example: only Cobb, Ruth and Anson. The best of each you can get.
Slabbed. You will not be out. You will simply have moved on to whatever is next. A collector will collect. And you will have your mementos of this time, just not the actual cards which you initially assembled, but their product. You will have some regrets:

Regrets, Ive had a few;
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.

I planned each charted course;
Each careful step along the byway,
But more, much more than this,
I did it my way.

Yes, there were times, Im sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way.

But most of all you will still have us, as Julie does, and so many others. Please visit your friends. And be well.



Edited to add:
Gee, when I reread this, it sounds like I'm showing you the door; with a boot at the ready. Certainly, that is not my intent Cat. It is simply that I have been mulling this subject as well, and the above reflects my current thinking. Of course I'd prefer if you stay because each contributor enhances my enjoyment and understanding of what is here; in addition to the comeraderie which is incorporated. There will clearly be an ebbing in the force should you leave, but as I inferred ... you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.
