My future graphing status

[adiddle]

This is going to be a long post but here it goes

My ordeal with my father in law passing away after 4 months of hospitals and care centers plus I was getting our house ready for him and he never made it here has put me in a different mindset.
My passion for graphing has slowed down. Plus with my wife retiring in 5 years or so and we might be look at moving so this has us looking at downsizing which I have taken a look at over the last couple of months and come up with what I am going to do

1. My Somerset Patriots bobble head collection I will be eliminated
I will still be a season ticket holder until my wife retires and we decide what to do. By that time I will be 72 so not sure by then..

2. Downsizing my die cast NASCAR collection maybe by half. Looking at least 10 pieces now.

3. My only collecting will be to finish my 1987 Topps collection. Approximately 140 to go. Not as good as Arfmax but close.

4. My other collecting will be to still try to collect an autograph of every Baltimore Oriole that played since 1954 ( most likely impossible but a challenge) I looking for Orioles cards first then any other team that was played for next.

5. All my other unsigned cards from the 80's,90's and 2000 ( mostly baseball a few football and some basketball I think) I will be getting rid of. I will not collect them anymore.

6. If I do accept any 50/50 for the Atlantic League my side of it would have to be either an Orioles or 87T card in return.

.7 The only collection not taking a hit is my "O" gauge train collection as for now that will be kept in tact.

8. I have already reduced my minor leagues signed card collection to one of my friends.

9. I have many duplicates of MLB cards that I have completed IP with the Atlantic League that I will be getting rid of also.

My plan is to start selling my items at our garage sales we do in our neighborhood each year.
If members are interested just let me know.
If I get to a point of just getting rid of for room I will be looking at donation time on some items.

Well thats it for now if I come up with anything else I will post it here.
Thanks for reading

Alan,

Let me know if you have any signed Heritage Minors cards that you are getting rid of. I would love to grab any I need before you send them to the garage sale. Glad you are still going to be sticking around to some extent and doing what is best for you and your family.

When I gave my friend my minor league book I told him to keep any or all he wants. When I see him in the future if he does not take all of them I will look and see if there are any Heritage Minors cards and let you know
Thanks for reading and getting back to me

Have found someone interested in my unsigned cards

Also found and extra unsigned packet of the top 20 Somerset Patriots from 2017

Already have someone for the other top players packet and my last extra All Star pins.

Thinks are going a little at a time
