I actually did very well with my two slots, getting limited parallel autographs of a soccer legend and a Cubs wunderkind. I checked ebay and both are currently going for crazy prices...So if I cashed in now, financially I could make a really nice gain and buy vintage with the profits. That sounds like a plan to me. This experience was like I imagine bungee jumping is like...a lot of fun to try once but kinda stupid and not worth the risk.

You're looking at it the way many who play in those circles do: for a nominal amount, it's possible to get a card worth thousands (sometimes tens of thousands) or at least break even or make money with a high draft slot. Congrats on hitting a Pele auto. The Daisy Ridley would probably go for a couple thousand.
