I suppose I am a hoarder of kinds.
I probably currently have around 400 sets including TV's and grams
The problem was those of us who were collecting in the 70's and 80's it could be quite tough to get the sets you really wanted and they were becoming expensive.
Added to that the focus of my collecting shifting several times you end up with many sets of little interest.
Add in 12 years almost continuously overseas so grabbing what I could when in UK
All the PYE Sunrises, all the round Ekco's, All the Murphy sets up till 1938 I didn't settle on Cossor till the early 00's
Now I have around 200 sets of little interest mostly 1930's boxes.
I have already reduced my collection by over 100 sets in the last 2 years giving away over 30 sets since June alone.
My Core collection will probably be around 200 sets
I will have to make some tough decisions within the next couple of years.
cheers
