When I was about 13, I paid $75 for a 1952 Topps Mantle, and sold it a week later for $150. I thought I was genius ...

I used to have a picture of Scott’s t206 Honus Wagner sitting right in front of me at my desk here at work!

Had this one for about 40/45 years. Just half an hour ago I finished packing it up to go to a new owner. I miss it already and it hasn't even left the house.

I still wish I had this T206 Tinker missing the red ink.
I sold it in Goodwins Auction several years ago
Boy do I miss this card

I made a couple of bad decisions in the past with cards, well-documented. But I have most of them back, and then some. I don't have the 1967-68-69-70 Topps complete sets, but quite frankly, I don't care, I have the cards out of those sets that matter. And I have WAY more pre-war and memorabilia than I ever had. Regrets about foolish past mistakes? Sure, but that was then, and this is now. I never intend to make those bad decisions again.

I sold a 14CJ Wagner for $300 when I was a broke ass youngn'. I do regret that one, but not much else. The one I don't regret was selling my perfectly centered SGC 5 52T Jackie to buy my 14CJ Cobb.

could be a very painful thread for many !

WOW Raymond (OP), that is QUITE the collection of exes. :o

Probably the one I still cry myself to sleep about would have to be my M101-5 Ruth Sporting News SGC 5.5 that, compared to today's prices, sold for a modest $16k about 10 years ago. I consigned it to Mastro when I departed the hobby and moved to London. Never would have considered using Bill if it hadn't been my long association and friendship with Kevin Struss.

This is the only one that really stings, mostly because it's worth a lot more now than when I sold it, roller mark and all.

I miss my Exes
 
Wow, this topic HURTS. I can't show them, but here are 3 good ones. I traded
all of them to achieve other card goals:

1) Fleer Wilt rookie SGC 84

2) 52 Topps Willie Mays SGC 60

3) N172 Old Judge Old Hoss Radbourn/Billy Nash SGC 40

Ouch... Trent King

Here are my 3, each I submitted for grading raw. The 51 Bowman's were in my complete set I sold for pennies compared to now.

I've sold lot's of things I wish I still had, but there's only one piece I actually regret selling....

parkplace33 09-21-2022 09:24 AM

I don't have any card regrets. If I sold or traded something, it was for another purpose. Always looking towards the future :)

i only regret not buying a frank thomas no name card in 1990 when the opportunity presented itself, for a very reasonable (or maybe unreasonable for a young kid at the time) amount.

Yup. I enjoyed them while I had them. For the most part, I gave them up following the market up-swing, even though I'd previously stated I'd never sell them...


Several Net54 members were, at least the next, owners.


I could never afford to get them back...

I don't have many regrets, most of what I sold was used to buy key pieces to my current collection. That said, I wouldn't mind having these ones back

Leon 09-25-2022 10:20 AM

Every time I look at this thread I get sad LOL..
