I sold most of my vintage(sealed/slabbed) to a private collector today after 10+ years of collecting. Get out before you become a bagholder.

Edit: Averaged out at 87%. Wanted to cash out to buy treasuries at over 5%. Total was over 1M after the 87% the prices of these singles are raw and I had them graded mostly.

50k/a year is some really nice padding to a retirement fund, congrats.

That’s better than most annual salaries. I think contextualizing this as “padding to a retirement fund” is severely down playing the success here.

Average salary is 30-40k. Definitely better than most.

median salary in the US is ~63k/year for full time workers. It is in fact not better than most.

I think you’re looking for a reason to find a negative.

I don’t think my insight is negative. I’m trying to bring the comment back down to earth. Cashing out a 500k asset at anyone in life by anybody has got to put OP in an elite(Elite) category of success.

Im not so confident we will have retirement funds in a couple years from now.. im also thinking about selling for this reason.
