I'll really never own this card now. I thought maybe, one day, I'll be able to drop 10-15K and get a respectable SGC or PSA 1. Now short of hitting the lotto, I'll never own it, unless prices come down, which on Mantle's, is unlikely.

I'm very fortunate to land 2 early last year before the jump. I missed the boat many many times, hoping for a deal but it just never happened. Some cards you know once it goes up, it's very very difficult for it to come down. There's a very very nice SGC3 currently at heritage. If i don't have one, i would probably try my best to jump on that one.

I can't afford a 15K card now, let alone something that will be well into the 60K+ range. It's just a depressing reality that I need to come to terms with.

Absolutely, just me feeling a little sorry for myself. And I truly can never say never. We have no idea what the card market will look like in five years, let alone 20 or 30! Collecting is a life long process! I may very well have one, many years from now!
