    I started collecting when the bug hit me hard and I bought every poster for a few years. Eventually I found the style/artist I really like and actually hang on the walls. Kept those and the ones from my shows and started selling the rest.

    Probably, but I'm the wrong person to ask.  I only buy posters for the shows I go to, and for shows that had 5 posters for 1 show, I bought the 1 or 2 I liked the most.  The ones I liked the most are framed all over the house.  The ones in storage (other then 5 or 6 waiting to get framed) are probably never going to get framed.   It's probably less than 10 so I never do anything about it, but I should sell them one day.

    I get losing the passion to continue to collect, but if the items you own do not bring you joy, it seems like it's time to divest.

    Wait a year.  Unless you want to do something specifically with any money from the sales I would suggest waiting to see how you feel down the road.

    I was worried I'd sell and regret it, but I can honestly say ive missed nothing. Its been quite cathartic in all seriousness. But do retain the things you really like or that are already framed

    I used to collect lots of them but now only for the shows I go to.  I've been purging some of my collection over the past year or so.

    I am in the process of selling off most of my large record collection. I have so much and can't possibly sit and enjoy them all to warrant having such a big collection. If I can whittle it down to a couple hundred or so, I would feel much better. Plus the money in my bank account would be very welcome. Good luck.

    Yep.  This is what I've been slowly doing.  I'm keeping a few but I'm never going to have enough wall space to put them all up and it's silly to have so many of them just sitting in a portfolio in a closet.

    We have a pretty good sized basement and I am almost out of wall space down there. On top of that, our basement may be converted into a different space soon...so it's getting close to being the time to sell off some of these posters.

    I'm trying to do the same with my record collection, just like lexicon. Selling a few here & there.
    I LOVE MUSIC.

    ebb and flow for me when it comes to collecting in general 

    Any new realizations... would have to wait...
    Til he had more time,... more time...
    Time to dream,... to himself... he waves goodbye,
    To himself... I'll see you on the other side...

    Start slowly. I haven't missed any of my PJ stuff Ive sold, but I do miss some other items I sold. Unfortunately I sold a bunch at once before I thought Id miss it and will probably never get most of it back.

    Thought I was the only one lol, but seems many of us are starting to feel the same way.  I have started to let go of a lot of items, and almost always find that I don't miss it one bit once its gone.  Scaling back and saving the items I find truly special, and letting go of the rest.

    I'd say yes. Unless you have a mancave (or woman-cave for purposes of inclusivity), multiple houses, or a very chill spouse/partner that's willing to let you put up as many posters as you like, it gets pretty hard (nevermind, expensive) to frame and hang posters all over your place. I used to collect a lot more but now really only purchase posters from shows I've been to.

    I sold my REM as well as my Simpsons collections.  They were just sitting in boxes for many years.

    The money didn't make a huge difference in my life, but it was nice to free up some space at home.

    I have even stopped buying posters for the shows I attend unless its a great one.  The stickers lately have been the much cooler (and cheaper/easier) thing for me to collect for each show, tbh
