Needing advice, help, guidance, just comments
This is a long post. Sorry in advance. I have collected cards ever since I can remember. Probably have around 100,000 thousand cards from the different sports in my card room. I think the most expensive card I have is a $50 football card. I have rookie cards from of many great players but only in the $10-$20 range. Only a few autographs and maybe 50 total game used/ race used. I have focused my collection on rookie cards the past few years and that has been about it. I can't afford a $300 lebron, kershaw, or brady card so I buy entry level rookies of them and others. Hard to use racing here cause they can be picked up cheap and aren't really worth much. I thought about collecting a autograph and memorabilia card of every player from every sport but that desire quickly left. I recently thought about doing just autograph memorabilia from my favorite players but then I run into the problem of older greats like earnhardt, and hall of famers from other sports might not have a auto mem card. Some have memorablia cards and just autos but none with both. I don't do sticker autos. Hate em. I am turning 31 next month and I am just wondering I guess, if u guys have hit this stage in your collecting what did you do. I don't need 200 individual common cards different drivers or athletes. That I am certain. I don't want to say I am loosing the desire to collect anymore because that is far from the truth, just don't know what I am wanting to do anymore. My friend would kill for an Earnhardt auto. I have had i think 4 of them and when I get bored or needed some cash for something I would just sell em. I don't know what I am wanting to hear so what have u guys done if you have gotten to this point in your life and it probably seems like a stupid problem but it is a problem for me.

I had a whole large post here and decided to delete it! I think this will be a better message for you. You need to stop bothering with what other collector's think and continue with what you like to do. If you want to change your collecting habits, do it. If you want idea's on what to change, PM me. I have been collecting since I was 7 years old and I will be 37 in July. I have seen everything the hobby can throw at me in ANY sport. I always find a way to enjoy the hobby, even when I have to switch sports. I started with MLB in the mid-1980's, then added NFL. I also slowly added NBA and NASCAR. I eventually couldn't find NASCAR cards (HERE IN NC--hard to believe). I dumped NBA in about 2000. I really got back into NASCAR cards in 2003. The hobby has been hard to deal with for the past few years.
Just PM me and we will chat about this. My collecting habits changed a bunch in the past few years, but I now have hundreds of AU's/GU's/RU's cards. I barely ever buy boxes now and only buy single cards once every several weeks.

I have come to the conclusion I need to get more organized. need to get more cards on beckett for trade, and just have fun collecting cards again. Maybe figure a certain direction to go later. Just have fun I think is what I need, and hopefully make some trades to get certain stuff I want. Thanks for the comments, and maybe I can do some trades with you all. Spazmatastic i will pm u. I would like to talk more.
