I kept mine, too. However, it was for different reasons.
1 - I'm chipping away at the (520 card) set. I'd hate to go back and try to buy this card again later. Price memory can be stubborn. Dealers can be stubborn, too. I didn't want to go through the futility of discussing comps with people.
2 - Let's say I sold the card on eBay for $3,000. After eBay fees and taxes, roughly half that money would be gone. I'd have possibly traded the card; however, losing half the sale proceeds to fees and taxes seems silly. (actually, silly is the "nice" word I'll use on a public message board.
3 - My copy was a gift from someone a couple years ago. Yes, I realize the card is mine to do with what I choose. I chose to treat it like part of my collection...not an opportunity to make a little quick cash.
