Imagine something so silly becoming the only thing that we're remembered for as a species.

Do I have an endgame in sight for the collection?
most effective way to sell a large collection today -- Craiglist... Meet people face to face, get cash.
IMHO, the most effective way to sell a large collection today, best guess, is to optimize the Craiglist and Facebook marketplaces. Meet people face to face, get cash. No shipping, no taxes, just what you can move locally. My thinking has always been if you set a goal to sell five things a week that way, over time, it adds up. A collection took years to assemble, it will take years to unload. I think the hesitation in unloading a big collection is it looks overwhelming at first.
You are correct, selling is a huge hassle.Counterfeit bills are a problem with cash payments, though. And there'd be no way for you to tell, until a bank rejects it from being deposited.

Give your collection to me for freeeeeee!!!!!!!
Bring new meaning to the expression figure shaming.I keep my old, outdated figures... so I can laugh at them, and make them feel bad.
how common is that? and what happens to the bill? does the bank destroy it?Counterfeit bills are a problem with cash payments, though. And there'd be no way for you to tell, until a bank rejects it from being deposited.

Yeah, I'm priced out.
There is an overseas dealer that I still talk to, after all these years, he observed to me, that in general, this hobby on the production side is in pretty bad financial shape right now. IMHO, SSC should start to scale to shift directions domestically for the sake of their long term survival. War is coming. I'm not here to get political about it, it's just that it will kill the entire pipeline of production overseas. It's inevitable at this point.
SSC has endured for the long term as a distributor. What happens when there is nothing to distribute? It won't all end tomorrow, but this "Golden Age" is going to hit a decline phase very soon. It's the cyclical nature of things. It's been a good run. I appreciate all the early years when SSC was so generous to so many collectors and to so many people here. I'll always appreciate that.
