So, I 've been collecting Cardinals stuff for 25 years (everything).
My collection is set up kind of like this:
10% Absolutely untouchable
20% Will move if the need arises or trade for something more rare, etc.
50% Bought to eventually sell or trade for other Cards items
20% Bought solely for the purpose of making an eventual profit
Does this sound stupid? If it does, try this one on...
I have actually purchased items in the past for "RENT". Meaning I really want to have the item in my posession, but it is probably out of my financial means. I just want to get a closer look at it and keep it around for a while...maybe put it on display and then send it off to someone else after a few months (kind of like a museum). It may make a profit, and then again - it might take a small loss..(ugh.)
Was wondering how everyone else views their collection, and how often things are changed out - or if anyone "rents" items temporarily.
Try not to be too harsh, I know this post is a little neurotic.
