This was probably the dumbest thing I ever did hobby wise considering what nice 8’s sell for today.

Who among us doesn’t regret having sold some of the cards we sold?

Or not having purchased cards 5-25 years ago that were thought to be overpriced at the time?

I might be the poster child for that thought .... Not just on my collection. Almost everything before that too!

ps..Brian, great Lipset sales list above.

John, you are made of sterner stuff than me. Any time I look back on cards I underbid 10-20-30 years ago, I throw up in my mouth just a little.

Casey:



I am about as hard-core a collector as there is. I have been collecting since the 1970s (first show in 1976), dealt, ran shows, and I never gave a rat's ass about set building. Commons just don't appeal to me unless the player has a very special back story, like being in The Glory of Their Times or Baseball When The Grass Was Real. My HOFers far outnumber my commons and the only prewar set I can remember completing was the Salutations Exhibits, which I broke up and sold off, except the HOFers, a few years later, because commons bore me.
