Regrets, I have a few ….

[mrreality68]

My biggest 1st and 2nd Regret is the 1911 Pinkerton Joe jackson. And this card is so so rare.

I always wanted this card. Then I had the card. But I needed the cash to get the Rookie Ruth(no regret on the Ruth)
Regret 1 I auctioned the Pinkerton Jackson to raise the funds needed.
Regret 2 I wanted it back but could not find that one or another (I think there is less then 5 known). Then it sold on REA last summer and I did not see it some how and missed my chance to potentially get it back.

Since I am trying to collect jackson this would have been one of my center pieces

There was a thread a little ways back where we were all listing the pieces we actually had in hand and sold. Some I remember I couldn't practically give away and in the last 2 years they have gone exponential and then some. Man, I could literally be retired at 45 or just a happier collector if I kept a mere handful of cards I sold. It's enough to make you sick if you focus on it too much or don't balance it with the right perspective. Gotta just be happy with the wins that were kept and see where things go long term— whether there's more $ to spend or things wind up costing less. Easier said than done of course and when the saltiness come on what works is stepping into real life for a martini or a great meal and a night out or a vacation, etc. Hit the old reset button

Amen to that.

Still waiting for the beanie baby collection to catch fire (double meaning).

I started collecting music memorabilia about two years ago. Over that period, I have seen this stuff steadily rise in price just like cards. One piece I always wanted was a band-signed, Queen, Night at the Opera Record. Two years ago, this rare item was $3k-$4k. A few months ago, one sold for like $15k (but I question the real value there since the AH has hidden reserves). Anyway, I was thrilled to pick this up the other day, knowing that the value/price may soon get beyond what I would be willing to pay.

Not only is the topic timely, but the item is perfect for the title of thread (wrong album though)

as my friends and I like to say about "investments" over time...you were not wrong...just early!

This one yesterday morning. It sold way too fast for me not to have had way too low of price. $450 isn't bad for a 1994 Simpsons card but I should have added a few/several hundred to the BIN price.
