I can especially appreciate #4 (took me a decade or so to learn this the hard way).Fujihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00749100861086458307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527071162164319087.post-73466978875785722122015-07-09T10:55:37.179-04:002015-07-09T10:55:37.179-04:00If you've dealt with the Cardboard Junkie, tha...If you've dealt with the Cardboard Junkie, that sounds like him.night owlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11673973790245316059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527071162164319087.post-63455965800904383602015-07-09T09:33:56.075-04:002015-07-09T09:33:56.075-04:00I can't claim that advice at all, but that min...I can't claim that advice at all, but that mindset and that advice is incredibly useful to remember. Indeed, last year, when I first got back into collecting and thought I wanted to collect "everything," I did get stressed out and I did get upset about stupid stuff. Once I got focused on Brewers and my player collections, collecting became fun. I don't worry too much about value being returned to me in trades -- just that I get stuff I want for my collection.<br /><br />Great advice overall!<br /><br />Good luck with the move and, as Matt said, get an office area in your new house/apartment for yourself and your cards if at all possible.Tony L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01349226671097456632noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3527071162164319087.post-52230887849915714052015-07-09T08:30:45.143-04:002015-07-09T08:30:45.143-04:00I think that is sage advice.

It is a hobby, so it should be stress free. <br /><br />Make sure to bargain with your wife about some good card collecting space. Hope the moves well and congrats on the new place!
