People have thought I was nuts for years. Doesn't bother me... I do this as a hobby not for financial gain. (However, appreciation is always welcomed.)
I will accumulate more and more and more. My family knows what I do... They know how crazy and obsessed I am... They know my love for Valiant... They know the dedication to the company and hobby.
Believe it or not I have a plan.
Leaving different things to different people. Everything is marked for sell ( if I don't get to before I croak) that needs to sell, the rest is passed on. Everyone around me associates me with my hobby... So many DO (especially kids) want these books.
I've watched countless people come and go. Get excited and go nuts just to sell it a few years later. I'm what you call a "strong" hand in the stock market... I've been here.... I'll be here!
Just a different perspective.
I want to inspire people to collect Valiant... So I do what I do.

Re: For those with kids...
I hear you.... I have seriously been thinking about liquidating non essentials to my collection and many of the raw pre unities that I have 10-15 of in Cgc 9.8 already.depluto wrote:I'm tightening up my collection, narrowing it down to Valiant, Ultraverse (heh) and Marvel keys. The rest I've been selling off to pay for trips and life experiences. Money's not so much the issue, I just have too much *SQUEE*.
I mean... If I am going to do this for another 50 years (yes I plan on living into my 90's) I'm going to need the room at where I store this stuff. Space is eventually limited in that 8x10 storage facility.
Which reminds me... Just curious how much one of those Limited Solar statues would go for? Not one of the red ones he painted, but the non painted ones. I think there were only like three of them.

Re: For those with kids...
It makes sense from their perspective. What are they gonna do with it? The hassle of Ebay sales for stuff they weren't planning on owning in the first place is daunting.possumgrease wrote:I have repeatedly seen the family members, regardless of how much they loved the departed, quickly liquidate the hobby in a bulk sale.
