There comes a time when you have to start to number your feathers like my favorite rooster Foghorn Leghorn.
When you get to be close to 75, collecting more models does not make a lot of sense unless you think you live forever or someone close really wants them after you are gone. They certainly are not and never will be the great investment I told my wife and children about. Many will end up in some remote auction for $5 or less apiece, as experience shows over and over again, even I you got one for an idiotic bargain at $600.
So when is it time for a collector to stop, reverse the engines, and retire? This is not a morbid thought, but there are no easy answers.
