    No regrets for me as I'm not a seller of cards. Now one-of-a-kind artwork yeah have many regrets. Regardless of hobby you can only hope your good moves out number the bad.

    1977 Topps Munson, Brett, Rose, Bench, Carew, and Morgan PSA10s and, sadly, many more. D'oh! The worst may be the 76 Topps PSA 10 Carew that was part of my very first sub. :) Shoulda, woulda, coulda...

    Back around 2013, I picked up a 1993 Jeter SP in PSA 9 for $1150. I then sold it in 2015 (although I knew that was not a smart move) in order to help fund another card. The Jeter immediately rose to over 2K. Then it went as high as $4500 I remember by 2016 but then made its way down to about $3000 in 2017 and I picked it up again for $3100. I knew that it was going to be a 5K card soon and sure enough, today they sell at around 10K (after all the craziness even when they were at over 20K for those first few months in early 2021). But I’m happy have purchased my second copy in 2017 and I told myself I’m never letting that one go.

    Others that I have sold and regretted were the 81 Topps Montana. I had the most beautiful centered copy I had ever seen. Sold it late last year for a good price at least so I really can’t complain. The only thing was that I sold it to help fund another more expensive card that I never ended up getting because things just didn’t work out so that sucked since I was out on the Montana AND the card that I was trying to get. But recently I did purchase that “bigger card” so in the end, it worked out and at least I got the main card I wanted, even if it took a little longer to obtain since I stayed focused on it.

    Those two are my main selling regrets. I’ve had little ones like selling a 64 Mays 8.5 as well as a 64 Clemente 8.5 too. A beautiful centered 66 Koufax in a PSA 8. Nothing too crazy and they can always be replaced but those copies were so nice that it would probably be hard to find another and be satisfied with.

    You can’t keep them all so it’s not quite regret but it was an honor to own this card and I do miss it…

    …and not too many ever seem to surface.

    back in 2012/2013/2014:

    PSA 8 1979 Topps Gretzky for $465
    PSA 10 Topps East-West refractor Jordan/Kobe ($125)
    numerous PSA 10 Lebron rookies ($58 for a Topps #221)
    1999 Charizard #4 PSA 10 for $115
    Ichiro Topps rookie for $103

    ...to name a few...but also hundreds of good buys, so it does even out hopefully (bought a lot of Luka raw rookies for $3 each back in late 2018 for one)

    There are a few that come to mind....but the regret of selling has nothing to do with money. They were just beautiful cards:

    1972 Topps Garman/Cooper/Fisk Rookie Stars Red Sox
    1973 Topps Roberto Clemente
    1980 Topps Rickey Henderson

    All 3 were PSA 9 graded and had excellent eye appeal. Even though all three in that grade still seem available and not unreachable, I feel like all are higher in price than what I am willing to spend at this stage of my collection. I have a raw Fisk that is probably a 6 on a good day. I am satisfied with just seeing other people Rickey's, but still have the Clemente on a want list if I can find an example that my picky @$$ can accept! ;):D

    sold my psa 4 centered mantle rookie for 3K or so maybe 5 years ago. I needed the money though, but sure wish I had that card still. It was a great looking card.

    I cannot hit curveball. Straightball I hit it very much. Curveball, bats are afraid.

    The biggest lesson I've learned in this hobby, and in life, is that if you have a strong conviction, you owe it to yourself to see it through. Don't sell yourself, or your investments, short. Unless the facts change. Then sell it all.
