Selling Changed Everything + When Auctions Surprise You + Rethinking Your Collection

The conversation zeroes in on a turning point that many collectors never fully explore… what happens when you start selling your cards and the results surprise you. Darren shares how shifting from saving cash to actively selling cards at auction changed everything. When cards start outperforming expectations, it forces a new way of thinking about value, timing, and how to build a collection more intentionally. Jeremy, David, and Darren dig into the realities of auction outcomes, the unpredictability of the market, and how selling can actually unlock opportunities rather than take away from the collecting experience. They also explore how this shift impacts decision-making, risk tolerance, and confidence in moving cards out in order to bring better ones in.
