Cards I wish that I would not have sold....
 

Posted By: <b>gary</b><p>Curious to know what cards you all have owned, and sold...only to regret selling...<br /><br />I know a good profit makes me happy, but I wish I had my E93 Cobb back, and my 257 card T206 partial set that I gave up on a year ago....<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>John Spencer</b><p>I regret selling many but the one that still drives me into deep fits of depression was a T206 O'Hara St. Louis SGC 60. It had a wonderful deep blue background that just jumped out at you. I consigned it in a SportsCards Plus auction after David Kohler told me it would fetch top dollar. I think it went for $1100 less the consignment commission - sigh.

Posted By: <b>effe</b><p>1933 Goudey Ruth #144. Sold it 1980 for $85 so I'd have "beer money" during my first registration week at college. You could say I literally pissed that card away.

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>1915 CJ Wagner nm/mt. It was raw and in the earliest days of grading. I got a good price for it at the time, but I wish I still had it now.<br />JimB

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>I am sure that before I knew a lot about the rare T206 backs...<br /><br />I probably sold a damn Drum or Uzit without even knowing it. <img src="/images/sad.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />I will probably regret selling this card in a few months in the Robert Edward auction:<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1106690881.JPG">

Posted By: <b>davidcycleback</b><p>No one else in my family is a collector of anything, much less baseball. I once had the below 1866 silver belt buckle award. Knowing that I 'rent' memorabilia, a family member offered to buy it from me so as to keep it in the family. I incorrectly thought she was joking and sold it elsewhere.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.cycleback.com/gallery3_files/image011.jpg">

Posted By: <b>John Spencer</b><p>Joe, yes, I did have a T206 Magie SGC 40 which I did sell but never really was that crazy about it. As much as I miss my O'Hara, and I think I must have blocked it out of my self-conscious to stop the heartache,the real sob story was a E107 Matty in pristine condition. Back in 1994, I sold my entire collection to SportsCards+ for a downpayment on a house (ridiculous reason, I know), including the jewel in the crown, the Matty. Whenever I see Kevin Struss at a show, we always mention it. I think Kevin actually regretted taking it from me.

Posted By: <b>JimB</b><p>Though I do not regret the deal, given what I got in return (a fair deal), I miss my D304 Cobb PSA 5. I doubt I will ever get a chance to replace that card.<br />JimB

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>Adam:<br /><br />I know. It has the qualifications of an 8... but the centering of a 7.<br /><br />BUT...<br /><br />of ALL the times I have seen examples of this Jackson card...<br /><br />they have ALL been off-centered in the exact same proportions as this one!<br /><br />SO...<br /><br />If a card was NEVER issued with perfect centering...<br /><br />and EVERY example of the card is skewed 65/35 like this one...<br /><br />THEN IS IT REALLY OFF-CENTERED?????<br /><br /><img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14><br /><br />Or is it simply a perfectly centered version of a card that was unfortunately MADE like that???<br /><br />Thoughts?<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>jamie</b><p>when i first started collecting, my dad traded some political buttons of his for a small vintage collection that included a 52 bowman mantle, a pile of t206's and t205's, and a ton of 60's stars. all of them were sold off over the years. there were two cards i really regret letting go from that- a t205 christy mathewson and a w516 babe ruth. the ruth ive since picked up thanks to a board member. still workig on the mathewson. <br /><br />hal, what'd that jackson sell for? that's a real blazer of a card

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>Jamie:<br /><br />It will be for sale in the upcoming Robert Edward Auction that starts in April, I believe.<br /><br />Hopefully some rich fool ... no, make that TWO rich fools.. think it is something they just HAVE to have!<br /><br /><img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Gilbert Maines</b><p>Hal: I think that your arguement regarding card centering is valid. However, if all cards were to be judged on a "this is as good as it gets" basis; graders (including collectors) would have to possess far more knowledge than we do now.

Posted By: <b>Hal Lewis</b><p>True Gilbert.<br /><br />I guess I should just be satisfied knowing that anyone who has ever wanted to buy a Jackson card like mine will have NEVER seen one BETTER than it.<br /><br />
