Seems to happen to me over and over again. One exception. Not baseball, but bought a Tom Brady rookie auto for $1200 2 years ago and sold it right before his suspension was reinstated for $2000. This is one of only a few truly positive returns for me. Usually the other way around

A ton..

1953 Mantle #82 PSA 5...looked like an '8' with the tiniest of spider wrinkles.

1965 Joe Namath rookie PSA 7 - WHEW!

1954 Hank Aaron rookie SGC 7 - see above

those are three monsters I wish I had back.

Sold a PSA 8 Bill Russell rookie about a year ago for $8K, which seemed to be the going rate. Offered it here and elsewhere for months with no takers. Once it sold, there were a few in auctions which PSA 8's (similar centering) sold for north of $20K - $25K.

Insert angry face here.

And if anyone would care to turn back the clock to my BST post last year on this 1987 Jordan PSA 10, I offered it at $1,400 (and sold it after a while with no takers).

Price not edited out here; you can still see my stupid move

In case you're wondering, the last 5 sales of this card in PSA 10 on eBay in 2016 have all been between $5K - $6K.

WTF.

I should have used "DollarShort" as my user name.
