Default Cards you sold and wish you hadn't

Anybody else other than me have sellers remorse over a sale of a card/cards that you have sold at some point in your life. I have two. First I sold a number of E90-1 American Caramels to Mr. Mint about 20 years ago and the second is I sold a 51 Parkhurst Hockey set about 15 years ago. Sometimes you have to let things go but I wish I had those two sales back!!

I sold about 15-20 2009 Bowman Chrome Mike Trout signed rookies for $750-$1,250 and now they are around $3k-$4k. Not complaining about my profits though

I had a 1940 Playball Joe DiMaggio and sold it just as the grading companies were getting started. Sold it raw and it would have graded an easy 7.

Had a PSA 5 Ruth #144 and a PSA 1 '52 Topps Mantle. Sold them on eBay back in 2005. Got $4000-$4500 total for those two. And I wish I hadn't traded my Tip-Top Boy card for a heavily creased E94 Cicotte at the height of the D-card market.

Onto my regrets:

1968 Topps 3d Clemente - sold raw right around when PSA was getting started - sold for 6K - customer got it graded..........a 9 - 30k card overnight
1966 Topps punchout Mays - 2-3k many years ago - didn't realize how rare it was... sold years later for 23k
1968 Ryan rookie - I owned it since I was a kid - easy 8 - possible 9 - turned down 2k for it when they were selling for 1. Sold it for 1k a year later when no one cared as much. A couple of years later PSA came around...

Then there were the ones I never pulled the trigger on that I wish I had .... like the Clemente rookie 8.5 for 10k. 1958 Kahns Clemente probably a 5 or a 6 -for 1 1/2 times "book" at the time ~$500 I was just getting started - seller said I didn't know what I was looking at - he was right


No one ever learned anything from doing it right

With all of that said - grateful to have the collection I do and be part of the net 54 community!!

I regret having sold my childhood collection consisting of most significant cards from late 50's-late 80's at that time...1986 or so.

Other than that my main regrets are not having bought cards rather than having sold them!

I havent really sold many cards but i did sell a stock once that i regret!

Bought an ipo at 33.50, bought 100 shairs. I was 19-20 years old i think. Stock went up 10 pts in a few min and i sold it. Made $1000 in 10 min i was so excited!!

The stock was yahoo..... ugh

I still have my sell recept in my baseball card cabnet/display to remind myself what an idiot i am
