Hello everyone!

As I've already told Andreas (jasonspezza19) and Aldo (cantstop17), I've decided it's time for me to quit the hobby. Since leaving my ex-gf in february, life has taken a different turn than I had expected it would (a good one!), and really my life ambitions have shifted considerably from what they previously were...at 23, I'd say it's the best time for that to happen!

So I now plan on finishing my Bachelors in History/Political science in the following year, then go on trips to get some life experience...a humanitarian trip for sure, and maybe a good 'ol backpack trip to Europe later on!

With that said, there's little time or money to dedicate to pieces of cardboard with men on it, be it Jason Spezza or others. I have realized that although I have mounted quite a collection for someone who is studying full time (see my link in signature), it's time I used that collection as unexpected income to get myself out of debt and save up for all those trips and my last year of bachelors.

I have enjoyed my past 4 years in the hobby, but it's time I moved on and used that collection to develop lifelong ambitions.

My personal collection will all be FS at the end of summer, probably at the start of training camp in september. Spezza and Sens collectors, gather up some money for that period!

I might still make a trade here and there during the summer to consolidate my traders, and I might even bust a few packs this summer before I'm all done! But one thing's for sure, if I can get anywhere near what I expect I can get for my collection, I will have a serious financial boost for the future!

And yes, I would be happier keeping the collection than selling it for money, but there's sacrifices to make in life if we want to achieve something!

So with this said, if people have interest in certain pieces in my collection (again check link for complete havelist), send me a message so I know to look for you when I sell them!

That's it for the long read!

Gab, Sorry to hear and see another fellow Spezzacollector quit. But I understand your decision and I'm sure you'll regret it later if you pass on any opportunity to travel and discover new things. I know you've enjoyed those years collecting and on top of that -the finest player there is too;) good luck and keep all the good memories with ya!

Andreas
