Value wise, I took a huge loss... but the overall value of my collection would have gone down even more had I waited to sell right now. It also allowed me to have a fresh start in 2008 and focus my collection on what I really want.<br /><br />On the flipside... if I were to sell my collection right now... there are a bunch of cards I'd probably never be able to get back. If I ever do start dumping bits and pieces of my PC... it'll be cards that either have no sentimental value or can easily be replaced.Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6374663649398420285.post-5582960296878026882014-04-18T09:08:18.825-05:002014-04-18T09:08:18.825-05:00Yeah, I got rid of some stuff back in the day I wi...Yeah, I got rid of some stuff back in the day I wish I hadn't. Looking back I'd rather have just stored it for a while. <br /><br />Luckily the Griffey fan in me never allowed me to get rid of a single Griffey card.
