I've decided to give up childish baseball cards & do more sophisticated hobbies like coins & stamps

So I just recently turned 44 about a week ago and I've been doing a lot of thinking about what direction I want to go in my life. I suppose that's to be expected...perhaps this is an example of mid-life crisis or something? But lately I've gotten to thinking that I've gotten way too old for childish things like baseball cards and especially video games and that I should concentrate on more sophisticated grownup sorts of hobbies like coins and stamps. After all look at all the great leaders and important figures in history like FDR who were avid coin and/or stamp collectors. I don't recall even one great historical figure who had a video game or a baseball card collection. I already did get started doing coins just under two years ago (inspired by the Penny Collection episode of the early 60s Dennis the Menace sitcom) and just last year I got into stamp collecting. Therefore I decided to sell all my baseball cards and video games and other silly childish things so that I can focus on my coin and stamp collections. As someone who is now in his mid-40s it's time I grow up and be a true adult with more adult, age appropriate and more time tested hobbies. Who knows, I might be able to raise enough money to make blitzdude happy and get some gold!

I really hope you're not condescending enough to write a post like this on a trading card forum and expect anyone to engage with you to purchase your stupid, unwanted baseball cards. Never mind, that's exactly what you did! A friendly bit of advice: List your cards on eBay and refrain from telling prospective buyers how stupid the items you're trying to sell to them are. Otherwise, you should expect to get stuck with your childish cards until you're as old as most of us on this forum are!
"inspired by...Dennis the Menace"
Yep, that's how ya know you've reached maturity. 🤣

Is this childish or sophisticated?
Sorry Mike, I'm getting them already for a (Mercury) dime a dozen.
You and Mike should both keep your day jobs.
I'll probably get rid of my cards when I grow up too.
