Collections You Gave Up On?
I have given up on two major collections, neither of which bother me too much except that I could have put energy/money/time into what is my core collection groups instead.
Beloved tales - had most of them up to a certain point (UP) and became too disheartened trying to trade for the few I did not have (TLM BATB) - their prices did crazy things as well. They went to other homes, and I do not miss them - though I do still admire how beautiful they are in person
Jessica - she is depressing. Again I couldn't trade for anything worthwhile and she was an expensive habit. Between looking at my "could-be" collection (trades that I couldn't do because I had her or purchases that the money could have gone to another grail of a different collection), and dealing with some family illness she ended up neatly "divorced". No hard feelings, and eagerly awaiting watching her on blu-ray very soon
