Big Question for Everyone

I collected from around age 11 to about age 19 when I went to college.

In College I was too consumed with studies & women for that to really be an issue.

Got out of college at the age of 24 & went home to look for a job. As I was looking my mom said, what about all those cards you have stored up in the atttic, why don't you sell those?

She was hoping I would sell the whole kit & kaboodle as a lot & be done with it, make some extra money & move on.

As I started selling the cards on ebay I realized I was doing what I always wanted to do when I was younger! Got a bit carried away & a few years in I took a 6 month break to get my finances straight. Now I'm back at it with a vengeance. The thing is having your priorities straight & making sure you make your ends meet before you buy cards.

I now may be living out my childhood dream soon! Always wanted to be a business owner & own my own collectibles business. I may soon be at the level in which I can do that in a couple years.
