Aaron, yeah, but you are the whore with the heart of gold. I remember when you bought the Cobb Lenox at the Chicago National back when I bought my Cobb bat off. It was a beautiful card. John

Okay stopping there, driving to liquor store, holing up in a random hotel Nic Cage style in Leaving Las Vegas. Off to the next life. It’s been real.

I remember that 1.5 Ruth rookie, it was amazing!

Cards I regret selling:
1915 Red Sox Team Ruth rookie postcard
Both Wolverine Cobbs
Two Cobb Fielding postcards
Seamless Steel Cobb rookie postcard
Hubel Cobb postcard

Many more that were maybe less valuable but irreplaceable.

For me
E107 Plank
OJ Hoss Radbourne
Mayos Kid Nichols
E97 Cy Young
Delong Gehrig

I was able to replace the Delong Gehrig but the rest… I’ll never see them again.

1951 Bowman Mickey Mantle w period autograph encapsulated by GAI graded 2 with authentic autograph. Purchased about 20 years ago on Ebay with a BIN for $1000. I think the owner thought the autograph was written by a kid since it looked nothing like his card show version. I knew it was authentic and Mike Guiterrez was the GAI authenticator at the time. Thought I was brilliant when I doubled my money within an hour of listing it the day I received it. The card has never surfaced again so I assume a real collector has it socked away.

I sold a 1949 Leaf Spahn in 1977. I regretted it so much I haven't sold a card since.
