52 year-old here, and I bought my first piece of art in 1991. I have a lot of regrets for things I’ve sold when I was younger and the stuff was not only plentiful but a whole lot cheaper to buy (Lubbers splash for $50, early Star Wars covers for $300, etc). I used to sell or trade art to get pieces that I wanted more, but now I definitely have more of a hoard/“to the grave” mentality. Also, if my parents are any indication, I have at least another 40 years to play in the sandbox. I’ve always bought art and comics I enjoy, and don’t intend to stop anytime soon.
