So, I guess the question then becomes, am I better off selling now all of those cards that I overpaid on back in 2021 and banking the money or holding on to them with the hopes that values come back one day closer to where they were when I bought them. I know, nobody has a crystal ball to know that, wish I did.

Either way, seems like the damage has already been done with no way to recoup those funds. Am I correct there? Just making better decisions going forward with investing the money elsewhere?
No one knows what the future will be for card prices. What is likely, however, is that it will be volatile. What you need I believe is stability in cash flow. You can get that with short term fixed income instruments. I would not tie up funds in long term bonds because if interest rates continue to rise and you need to liquidate early you could lose money there too.
