I have rarely ever sold for a loss. However, the few times I have done it is to raise cash to buy another card that I did not want to lose the chance to get. Especially when they are low population cards that I want that do not hit the market often

Agree that what someone has into a card is completely irrelevant. No one is entitled to make a profit. But if someone wants to be buried along with their cards, that's their right.

Sunk-cost Fallacy
The phenomenon whereby a person is reluctant to abandon a strategy or course of action because they have invested heavily in it, even when it is clear that abandonment would be more beneficial.
