When do you know it's the right time to sell a collection? I've been tossing this thought around a lot lately. I know we mostly focus on books on this forum, but hopefully some members might be able to lend a little insight.
I have 2 collections of "things" I am considering selling.
1) I have a collection of 1:18 scale F1 race car models (all but 1 are Jacques Villeneuve - have all but 1 of his F1 cars I believe) that are basically just sitting in a closet, in their original boxes. Not even on display.
2) This is my prized collection: I have hockey cards dating from 1977-78 season thru to around the mid 1990s (at this point the market was flooded). Most are complete sets (O Pee Chee, which are the most valuable from this era - American version is Topps (same pictures, etc.), some are incomplete, lots of singles, and some valuable ones at that! Again, this are in binders and/or boxes, sitting in a closet/pantry.
I ask myself why are they just sitting around, nobody looking at them, etc., and if I do sell, what price is "worth it" to me......?
I have seen the other thread on here about what else we collect, so I was hoping there might be some with experience going through what I have above.
