The Question of the Day is a way to facilitate community discussion to help members ponder the unanswered questions of the world that are somehow relating to the hobby. Questionsj are many times open ended and up to interpretation. Feel free to post your thoughts in as much or as little detail as you’d like.
Helpful Considerations may or may not help some people focus their answer, these are blurred to not bother those who have their own ideas.
Gourds were a great deal at folk festivals for a long time but ever since big-halloween took interest, prices have shot up and made it hard for anyone new to get into the gourd game.
$7 PSA easy old standard 10’s across the board à la King Metazoo and other hahbee titans? I’d be a multi millionaire with that unrepeatable unicorn scenario.
$50 8.5-9.5’s CGC/TAG/EMA/FUK-grading hyper-scrutinized, pop-controlled family pack value option for the middle class oriented vendor sniffing out regrades? My whole collection is worth a new Caravelle with the business trim.
I am already in the “retirement modus”…
Selling my left overs, not all at once but bit by bit.
Enjoying the selling as much as the collecting back in the days.
I have to much old bulk left to really “sell out” short notice (unless I sell it as bulk)
Plan is to do some more shows the next 1,2 or 3 years.
As far as my collection goes, I have to wait untill PSA opens again to complete my graded collection.
So what we actually did (and do) is traveling to bigger shows, bring cards I want to sell and let those pay for the trip. Great retirement.
This is one of those threads you wanna come back to in 20 years and talk about. Im interested in the outcome for alot of people, and how theyll handle each individual collection of theirs over time. I swallowed an everstone when I was 7, and its unfortunate that mine isnt possible to be sold.
I have no debt and could technically retire right now. There’s no reason for me to sell anything, and thank goodness for that because it would be very difficult to part with anything I’ve collected over the years. Like slowqueen, I will grow old with my childrens toys haha
I thought you were supposed to work for money to buy shiny things to enjoy, not buy shiny things to enjoy for money. Maybe I’ve been living my life wrong.
