Goodbye for now.......

[JasonBanz]

Hey guys,
Just wanted to let you guys know I had to come to a very hard decision. I am selling my items to help pay off some debt. It's a tough thing to do, but I got to do what is right for my family. I will be placing my items in the classified section for only a short period of time, as I need to sell immediately. Thanks for everyone's help and I will be back in the game shortly!

Thank you! I will continue to visit this site. I will still be a part of it also. Just will not be as active as I have been in the past.

Jason, sorry to hear this, I know you took alot of pride in your collection. I can't wait too see how you return!!

Joba, Rob,
Thank you for the kind words. I cannot wait until I return. I have kept one item, which was a gift from my dad so I guess I am still in the hobby. Just not active. My wife nearly cried when I told her my decision and told me that once we get settled she wants me to dive right back into it(she's a great woman! ).

Jason,
I wish you well, what a hard thing to do. I know thats a decision we all fear some day we may have to make. I hope its short term & you're back in no time. You made the right decision, we all have to provide & take care of our family first, or we couldn't enjoy this hobby any other way.

Re: Goodbye for now.......

Thank you Dale! You are right. I know I can get a good amount for my jerseys. I truly didn't enjoy seeing them, knowing that I could use that money to better my family!

I agree with Dale. I know that must be a difficult thing to do but I respect you for putting your family first.

I wish you well.

Jason:

You may be saddened by having to sell your collection, but there are two plusses here...not just being a man and putting the family first, but also having an understanding spouse who wants you to get back into the hobby once your current difficulties have passed. I wish MY wife was that supportive of my collecting.

Re: Goodbye for now.......

Thank Dave for pointing that out. My wife has always been supportive and never has said anything bad about the hobby. Infact she finds it pretty interesting!

Thats great to hear that you kept the gloves.I was wodnering that.And even though i am also selling my collection for the same reason you are.If i saw you selling those gloves i was going to buy them and give them back to you.And i am not just saying that.As you know i lost my dad as me and you even have our onw thread about dads.And its very important to hang onto those gloves.Like i said even though for the right price i would sell anything of my collection.There are some items that my dad gave me that have no price on them.So good for you for keeping them.My prayers are with you my friend....

Joba,
Thank you very much. That has got to be one of the kindest things anyone has ever said to me. I knew I could not get rid of those, as I would kick myself if I ever considered it. Good luck to you also in selling your items. My prayers go out to you as well my friend!
