Chuck,
I find this a very interesting question you bring up. I enjoy reading everyone’s take on where they stand.
Early in my un-educated collecting days it was keep anything and everything I acquired. Now it’s a little different. Last couple of years I have been liquidating some duplicates, some emotional buys, and of course the bad buys. It’s been a very enjoyable and learning hobby. I am still educating myself with venues like this BBS.
My interest has changed a bit over the years, but I am still all over the board as to what sparks my interest. Doubles and Magazine rifles seem to be taking up most of my time & dollars.
I have thought about when I get up in age, when to look seriously about liquidating to a manageable "collection"/"hunting arsenal".
