When I was about 13, I paid $75 for a 1952 Topps Mantle, and sold it a week later for $150. I thought I was genius ...

I have a similar story…i paid $170 for a t206 o’hara st louis that i sold later that year for $350! This was 1992 ish.

I used to have a picture of Scott’s t206 Honus Wagner sitting right in front of me at my desk here at work!

Had this one for about 40/45 years. Just half an hour ago I finished packing it up to go to a new owner. I miss it already and it hasn't even left the house.

I still wish I had this T206 Tinker missing the red ink.
I sold it in Goodwins Auction several years ago
Boy do I miss this card

I made a couple of bad decisions in the past with cards, well-documented. But I have most of them back, and then some. I don't have the 1967-68-69-70 Topps complete sets, but quite frankly, I don't care, I have the cards out of those sets that matter. And I have WAY more pre-war and memorabilia than I ever had. Regrets about foolish past mistakes? Sure, but that was then, and this is now. I never intend to make those bad decisions again.

[Casey2296]

I sold a 14CJ Wagner for $300 when I was a broke ass youngn'. I do regret that one, but not much else. The one I don't regret was selling my perfectly centered SGC 5 52T Jackie to buy my 14CJ Cobb.

[ALBB]

could be a very painful thread for many !

[luciobar1980]

WOW Raymond (OP), that is QUITE the collection of exes.

[Yoda]

Probably the one I still cry myself to sleep about would have to be my M101-5 Ruth Sporting News SGC 5.5 that, compared to today's prices, sold for a modest $16k about 10 years ago. I consigned it to Mastro when I departed the hobby and moved to London. Never would have considered using Bill if it hadn't been my long association and friendship with Kevin Struss.

[raulus]

This is the only one that really stings, mostly because it's worth a lot more now than when I sold it, roller mark and all.

[ClementeFanOh]

Wow, this topic HURTS. I can't show them, but here are 3 good ones. I traded
all of them to achieve other card goals:

1) Fleer Wilt rookie SGC 84

2) 52 Topps Willie Mays SGC 60

3) N172 Old Judge Old Hoss Radbourn/Billy Nash SGC 40

Ouch... Trent King

[gonefishin]

Here are my 3, each I submitted for grading raw. The 51 Bowman's were in my complete set I sold for pennies compared to now.

[LEHR]

I've sold lot's of things I wish I still had, but there's only one piece I actually regret selling....

[parkplace33]

I don't have any card regrets. If I sold or traded something, it was for another purpose. Always looking towards the future

[hockeyhockey]

i only regret not buying a frank thomas no name card in 1990 when the opportunity presented itself, for a very reasonable (or maybe unreasonable for a young kid at the time) amount.

Yup. I enjoyed them while I had them. For the most part, I gave them up following the market up-swing, even though I'd previously stated I'd never sell them...


Several Net54 members were, at least the next, owners.


I could never afford to get them back...

[skelly423]

I don't have many regrets, most of what I sold was used to buy key pieces to my current collection. That said, I wouldn't mind having these ones back

[Leon]

Every time I look at this thread I get sad LOL..

[Kzoo]

Some days, I kinda miss these these two.

[mrreality68]

This is my biggest regret selling this Joe Jackson

[atx840]

Guess I would like to have these two back, would LOVE to know where they are.
