how much is worth my olajuwon collection?

[laurentolajuwon]

Hello everybody

I have accomplished almost all I was looking for in the hobby:
- 10 years of collecting hakeem the dream olajuwon
- achieving more than 1800 different career cards of Hakeem (actually 1832)
- achieving to reach 95% of existing career cards of Hakeem (actually 95.6%)
- achieving to complete almost all the regular sets I was looking for

I don't feel any taste to collect post-career cards and I can't manage to find the 83 cards I still need in my wantlist.

With the recent increase of low #ed and rare inserts of the 90's I was wondering how much I could get for my collection if ever I sell all the cards individually. At the moment I think I don't want to sell it but sometimes the idea is reaching my brain...

How much do you think my collection is worth??? and do you think my collection's value is going to grow or to decrease?
You can find all the detail of my collection on my website especially my TOP100 with the most valuable cards:

that is an awesome collection... wish I could give an estimate on the value of your collection, but it would probably be far off. Didn't look at every card you have.. hope the stats give you somewhat of an idea of your collection.. I think the most valuable cards are post career, being autos/game-used cards

stats:
Hakeem has 2,755 cards; total cost $43,266 (includes post career cards)

wish I kept on some of my PC guys from the early 90's.. I stopped collecting off & on over the years. My main PC guy is Farmar.. collection can be found at Pictures by jpleazme805 - Photobucket Started small pc of Bynum, but been working on completing Chronology (both years) sets.. only need 3 more cards.. also working on Topps Signature 08-09 black facsmiles & Elite Black Box base & Lakers autos.. only need one more base card (#77 Andrew Bogut). Found somebody on this site that has one. Forgot all about this site.. until I stumbled upon it again, while googling Elite Black Box Bogut.

I've gone back, trying to complete sets I've started as a kid, or chase cards I've always wanted. Still looking for a better MJ RC from the one I pulled in 88 at a local 711.. I was 7 or 8 at the time, so all my cards, well most of them, went through the bike spokes or were thrown in shoe boxes.. didn't know what sports cards were really, or they were valuable until about 91, when I first found out what a Baseball Card Shop was...
