Cry for me the Beloved Cards

[riggs336]

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

Listening to the sad stories of others, I wish I could stop but I can't.
6. Joe Jax cards: E90-1 (3), Boston Store - ungraded but about vg/ex, Sporting News PSA 5, '15 CJ PSA 5.
7. T227 Ty Cobb PSA 6 (still the highest graded).
8. 14 CJ Cobb PSA 5
9. E95 Cobb PSA 5
6. E106 Wagner & Matty - both SGC 6.

Now weeping quietly, I retire.
P.S. Aaron, we must have been working the same side of the street.

Any cards you might possibly have for sale? Just kidding...looks like you learned your lesson early, and as a result, your MIA card list is only one long.


My list has much less 'huge' cards as seen on some, but I do have a few it would be nice to get back:

E121 Babe Ruth holding bird (thanks a lot stupid creepy guy in ill-fitting suit standing next to Ruth...he made me sell this card). If Babe had only just been by himself holding the bird...

W516 Babe Ruth. I still have a tiny chunk of the upper left corner of this card glued onto a piece of paper. It came to me separated from the rest of the card, and I sold the big part of the card long ago. Someday I will share this top left corner with you all.

E121 Cobb (forgot which pose). It was advertised as VG (no photo), and when I received it was Good at best. I refuse to identify how dirt cheap the price was, even for the time. Hey, it was the principal of thing, you know? Stupid return number 1.

Zeenut Joe Dimaggio. Many years ago I won an auction for it at a real decent price, and when I got it found out that it had an undisclosed rebacking. I actually don't mind rebacked Zeenuts, and didn't at that time either. Stupid return number 2.

E104-1 blank back Eddie Collins. I traded this one away, and good news, many years later I found another one, so sometimes these stories have happy endings.
