Has life ever taken the joy out of collecting for you?

This is the main thing I have going for me and source of joy in my life :sob:
There were some moments in 2020-1 where I was selling a lot of cards I’d had for ages that had skyrocketed in value. While I was thrilled with the money, the process of obsessing over every sale of similar cards, constantly checking prices, worrying about auction results and grades, fearing momentum would reverse etc was quite stressful and did take some fun out which is why I have zero interest in doing sales full-time. But getting able to buy exciting cards with the funds meant I was still getting a lot of joy out of Pokemon during that time.

Taking breaks is good. It is like eating your favorite food for every single meal. You’ve got to take a break from it for a while and then come back to it to really appreciate it.
