Most Gut-wrenching card you had to sell...

Ugh.....talk about opening old wounds. All your stories are heartbraking. My big regret was trading a 33 Goudey Ruth #149 Ex+ for a Kaline Rookie! Ouch! dave, happy new year everyone

I get pretty sad whenever I think about ditching my HOF collection. It wasnt loaded with immaculate cards, but the loss of the whole set is tough. The T206 Young and Mathewson were probably the hardest.

More than images of athletic men. This is this far more heart wrenching than discussing old girlfriends.


I remember trading an Orr rookie for a fresh '67 Yaz. What helps lessen the sting, all my cards were scratched and dinged from flipping.

So True!

When I was 12-13, I took my dad's prized Nolan Ryan rookie, with his knowledge and (begrudging) blessing, to the hole in the wall card store at the mall (remember those?) and sold it for $150 or so. No doubt in my mind that card was an 8 or better in a slab today, it was crispy clean. Thinking back on it now hurts me more than any woman ever has lol.

Imagine how those of us feel who pulled 3-4 of those brand new out of packs, and tossed them because they were the crummy 2-player cards

I didn't have to but in a moment of dumbassedness I sold a very nice 1953 Topps Willie Mays to help finance the purchase of a case of 1989 Upper Deck wax. One of my finest decisions.
