Let's hear the pros and cons...

I had some cards sitting in my eBay store for a year, two years, etc. I never got offers on them. Nobody wanted them! And then the pandemic happened and I started getting good offers. And out they went!

Now, I was happy, but then everything started to go crazy. For example, one soccer card that I sold for $600 US, ended up selling for five times that amount through PWCC a few weeks later! A couple of basketball cards that I sold for under $1,000 US ended up hitting $10,000 US! Even my effing Hulk Hogan card went up by $3,000 USD!

I did buy a Bowman Mantle rookie, Bowman Mays rookie, and a Leaf Jackie during Jan-Feb of last year though, and those three cards have lessened the pain for me. But again, I am just shocked how certain cards went nuts. I wish I had kept some of them.

I sold a few post war and modern cards to help fund prewar purchases. I bought a lot more than I sold, but everything I sold really took off afterwards. Unfortunate timing to be sure but it is what is.

The Ruths and Cobbs I bought are still doing well, and I have a feeling I will be fine on the rest long term. And even if they don't appreciate as much, I will enjoy cards like the 14 CJ Jackson and Matty, and Tip Top Bread Wagner much more than the 93 Jeter and even the 48 Leaf Robinson I let go.

I've sold off many of my Topps Heritage baseball master sets and all of my Bowman Heritage master sets. I've also sold many of my 53 Bowman color extras that I have upgraded from my set. With that money, I have continued upgrading cards in my Bowman set, started assembling a Topps 71 baseball set, and gave my wife a nice gift for Valentine's Day as she's had to put up with my spending habits.
