i think i just got to a point in my life where i would rather have the cash to pay off bills and become debt free versus having boxes and boxes full of cardboard. it was a fun hobby while it lasted, but i guess as we get older, priorities change. i noticed since i stopped actively buying cards, i have more money to spend on other things in life. i use to find great peace in baseball cards, but i think ill find greater peace with being debt free!
