A collector's dilema

Wayne8348

For the past 4-5 months I have hardly bought a single card with the exception of a couple 74's and a few 65's. I have "x" amount of dollars to put into collecting cards and once that is spent I basically stop buying. That is where I have been the past several months. I have no interest at all in buying and selling to try and generate revenue to fund my collection so therefore I have been at a standstill.
The problem is that I buy sets in such a high grade that most of my available money is tied up into a particular set and it's nearly impossible to really go after anything else. That being said I think it's time to clear out my collection so I can start a new set that I have wanted to start for over 2 years.

I will be posting many of the cards in my collection on the vintage buy sale and trade board a little later. Some of the items that I will be selling are my 1974 topps baseball set with a 9.03 gpa. It has 53 psa 10's, 37 psa 8's, and the rest psa 9's.

I will also be selling my 1965 collection that has 69 psa 9's and 3 low pop psa 8's. I have a 1975 topps basketball collection that is about 10% complete in psa 9 and a 1985 topps football that is one third complete in half 8's and half 9's. I also have about 60 psa 8's from the 71 topps baseball that I will be selling.

Sorry about the spam here but I just wanted many of my friends here to know why I'm selling. I am expanding two different businesses I'm involved in right now and it's not prudent to be putting a lot of money into cards right now but if I sell then I can start my new set. Anyways, thanks for reading and let me know if you have any questions.
