Would you trade your ENTIRE collection for 1 card?

[tbob]

Absolutely not. Not even for the best T206 Wagner on the planet.

I would do it in a heartbeat. If for one of my dream cards (T206 Wagner, E107 Wagner or T210 Jackson) I would be happy to trade an entire collection worth similar value.

Great question Tony. I've often asked myself this,and each time I end up thinking "no".Right now,I really enjoy going through them all,staring at each one for awhile,and it never gets old.I don't know if I would get the same pleasure of pulling out just one card,staring at it,and putting it away.

T206Collector,I don't know if I could've done what you did,but look what you have now!!I am always very impressed with your signed T206 collection!!!It is amazing that you have so many signed T206's (and a Plank to boot!!).

Sincerely,Clayton

Thanks Clayton! Now, I wouldn't have traded my entire signed T206 card collection for that Plank -- but I might do it for a nicely signed T206 Cobb card!

Nope.

I am a collector - I have an urge to collect. For me this means a long-term goal (or goals) I chip away at. I have already put years into this, and I would never trade it all away for any dream card of equivalent market value.

Cheers,

I am with the majority and prefer to keep more cards that are worth less than just own one card.

[ChiefBenderForever]

I would say no because I enjoy my Bender collection very much,but to get started and maintain it I sold most of my previous collection so call me hypocrite!

[clamendo]

I think you need to differentiate a "collection" from an investment. One card is not a collection. A Collection is "a gathering of objects , as works of art, literary materials, etc.; a quantity of anything collected together into a mass; an assemblage" - per Google

simple answer.......no

[nolemmings]

simple answer.......no

Agreed.................well, offer me a Just So Young and give me a chance to change my mind. Still probably no but what a great dilemma to face. I'm up for it....go ahead, offer it here.

[kmac32]

Wouldn't trade it all for one card.

[mark evans]

No. I get far too much enjoyment from viewing my collection to trade it.
