My Collection...suggestions On What To Do Now.

I have a habit of using Albums. And as one gets full, I start a second, then third, etc. The method is to try to find a higher grade coin that is in set #1. When I find ont, it goes into set #1, the one from #1 goes to #2. The one from #2 goes to #3 and on and on. Eventually the coins from the last set in the mess goes into a 2x2 and then into a box waiting for a new Album. I am well into 9 of those 2 row Red Whitman cardboard boxes full of duplicates in 2x2's. Simce all of the ones in those boxes are the worstest of the collection, not to expensive and sort of a waste of space.
So one day I asked several dealers I know what they would give me for those. I did have a list of what they were. All dealers said the same thing. NOT MUCH. Really great reason to continue making new Albums. It is a hobby so if it's going to be a thousand Albums some day, so be it.

Good luck with your transition. I cannot offer much advice. Luckily I have never wanted to do upgrades, which is one reason why I have never sold a coin (the other being sentiment).


I agree, of course.
