Getting a Card Back After a Long Time

[z28jd]

Back in early-2001, I sold a couple Old Judge cards so I could buy another one I really wanted. One of the cards I sold was a beat up Con Daley card and a board member here bought it. About a month after I sold it, I tried to buy it back, but it had already changed hands again. I wanted to get it back because it was one of the first Old Judge cards I ever bought.

Cut to a couple weeks ago and OldJudge posted a card that shouldn't have been graded by SGC because it was trimmed. I immediately recognized the card and worked out a deal to get one of my first OJ cards back 13 years after I regretted selling it. It's not a tough player/card to find or in good condition, so I could have just bought another anytime, but it's nice getting one of my original cards back that I bought last century. So thanks to Jay for publicly calling out SGC for their mistake, without it, I would have my Con Daley card back.

Also to tie the story up. The card I bought back then was from Jay, who didn't want the Daley as part of a trade, yet he bought it 13 years later from someone else.

Anyone else got a similar story to share?
