For about 30 years I hung onto about 450 LPs that I bought back in the late 60s and 70s. They just sat in storage in a couple of wooden crates. I nearly pulled them out a couple of times to sell at garage sales over the decades.
Then about 3 or 4 years ago, I decided to get a decent VPI turntable and an old Audio Research SP8 pre just to listen to some of the old out of print tunes. After cleaning the LPs with a Nitty Gritty machine and RR deep clean and vinyl wash, I was absolutely floored by how good these 30 year old chunks of vinyl really sound.
The moral of the story.....hang on to what you've got. It's irreplaceable, and you just may decide to get back into it at some point.
My 2 cents worth.
