Huh.
So I went "dark," with the sole purpose of doing a little re-tooling to the website and renovating my kitchen.
And in the process, I got totally disenchanted with my entire collection. How does that happen?
Well, it started with the postwar HOFers. In advance of the auction season, I decided that, to raise funds, I'd sell off my postwar HOFers. After all, they're very easy to replace.
But after I did that, I was left with a HOF collection that had been decimated.
Then, I decided to abandon a short-lived quest to build a T206 HOFer set with odd backs. Which left me with about 25 of those.
Before I knew it, I was questioning the whole damn collection. So I decided to take it in a new direction.
I'll be selling off most of my W502s. After I decided to pass on the near-set that was offered in the Mastro auction, I realized I was never going to get that set built as long as I live. So the whole purpose of creating this blog became moot.
I'm also going to be selling a TON of my HOFers (see the "50 Cards" page for my latest whim). There are a lot on the "sale" page now.
I'm still collecting T205s and Henry Johnsons. For now, I'm also collecting 38 Goudeys (although I did have those on eBay a couple of weeks ago and am considering consigning them to REA). And I'm considering a number of other sets, among them 1934 Gold Medal Foods, 1952 Bowman, 1955 Dormands, and a few others.
And I finally picked up a set of Perez-Steele Great Moments. I've always liked those.
So basically, I just turned the whole thing upside down, shook it violently, and I'm still waiting to see what fell out and what didn't.
But I'll be back here more often now; I promise. For those of you who actually read this, I mean.
