This doesn't really apply here as my story is about a modern card. A few years ago I was able to snag a 2013 Topps Heritage gold card, 1 of 5, of Felix Hernandez for less than $100. At the time, gold cards of top shelf players were selling around $300. I tried selling it for around that price and it sat for months and months; eventually I sold it to a nice lady, on eBay, for a little more than I paid for it. Found out today that she sent it to PSA, got it graded, came back as a GM 10, and she sold it for $250. I stumbled upon it looking for another card, but I sent her a message congratulating her on the flip.
Of course I proceeded to kick myself for the next 10 minutes for not sending it to PSA myself. So dumb!!!
