I think many of us can relate to this post. I have collected record albums and casino cheques and have sold many on eBay in the past. As you say, most of the time the pieces are not of high value, but breaking these collections down into smaller lots that sell pretty well, is an art.

And as you point out, although you can't make a living at it, the fun and knowledge gained through these efforts have a different value than money. But yeah - money is good, too1 lol

Thanks for a very thoughtful post!

Cheers!
