<p>[QUOTE="Nathan P, post: 6642409, member: 99051"]I haven't bought many coins recently, as prices have risen so much.

However, I also collect baseball cards and am not nearly as attached to those (especially the modern ones). So with prices exploding in that market as well, I've taken advantage and sold three cards I bought for about $50 eight years ago (in total), collecting almost $3K if you can believe it.
