Vintage card regrets

[pokerplyr80]

Tough crowd this morning. I knew what you meant Rick from your first post. I was buying a house a couple of years ago and sold a few more cards than I needed to in order to free up some cash. I regret letting a green cobb go as it was really nice for the grade and would probably cost me 2 or 3x what I sold it for now to replace.

Welcome aboard Ricky. You too Markcal, but if Rick'y's post generated a WOW you may find this place really entertaining.

First off, welcome to the forum. Second, I have only been collecting for a few years and I can't afford the type of cards that could pay for college tuition. For me, I buy stuff that I like, some stuff I keep, other stuff I turn and sell but I have yet to have any regrets.

I started collecting vintage cards in the late 1970s and continued through the early '90s, so I was lucky in that I was able to pick up some great cards at very reasonable prices. This was all in the years before graded cards entered the scene. I stopped, at least as far as the vintage cards go, when life - marriage, mortgage, kid - entered the picture and recently have begun to collect again. Amazed at the changes in the hobby and how the prices have exploded.
