Just found this on my Photobucket account. Should have never parted with it ...
Anyone else have similar regrets?

I kept it long enough to resubmit.
I sold nearly my entire collection in 1991 when I needed money to buy a car and furnish my first apartment. Included in it were a 1954 Topps Hank Aaron, 1954 Bowman Ted Williams, some Allen & Ginter, Goodwin, and Old Judge hall of famers and a T227 Cobb. That's just a small portion of the highlights.

please don't tell her.......
On a different note, I sold a raw 1960 Maris before I knew much about grading. the guy that bought it sent it directly to PSA and sent me an email when he got the grade. It was only a PSA 9.
more than doubled in price since i sold it
irreplaceable
R73 1933 Goudey Indian Gum - Series 288 - Nos. 118
Also looking for 1953 Parkhurst & 1953 Quaker Oats Ripley's BION.
If you have any available for sale PM me

bought a box for $15 in 86. Sold all 3 of my Jordans a few years later before he started winning championships.
Got maybe $100 total for them.,
Have not collected any basketball since.
The card probably would have graded at least a 6.... it was our worst looking one of the bunch at the time
Though the coins are worth more than the Mantle today, I still wish I hadn't made the trade!
My sons were each given a coin when they turned 21; so no there's no way I could sell the coins today to get another 52 Mantle.
Card had some chipping and couldnt believe it got a 10.
If I did regret I'd go crazy.
Better to not think about the sour deals.

Thats because he removed the original PSA10 and put yours in its holder....(resubmitting the original psa 10 for another)
1957 PSA 8 Frank Robinson
1934 Gehrig BVG 3
1954 PSA 7 Hank Aaron
1955 BVG 7.5 Koufax
1958 BVG 8 Mantle
I wish i still had those rather than the money i sold them for...now on a positive note, i did good on my tiffanys, minors, and newer stuff....so it was probably close to a wash.
Here's another thing i regret selling...i can't believe how much classic cars have gone up in the last 10 years.
I think these are a few that I still wish I had held on to:
1. 1994 SP Alex Rodriguez SGC 100 -- sold for $1400ish
2. 1994 Score R&T HC1 Alex Rodriguez SGC 98 -- sold for $300ish
3. 1984-85 OPC Steve Yzerman PSA 10 -- sold for $300ish
4. 1961 Topps Juan Marichal PSA 9 -- sold for $500ish
Sold all of these around 8-10 year ago. My, how things have changed!

Yea but how great was it when you sold that string of 1990 bowman tiffany rookies SGC 98s for like $300 or so ea. Gonzalez,sosa etc.
I can never complain about selling too cheap, i was there for the absolute top of the grading boom/tech stock boom (i put these together because i think the prices realized by the cards was directly related to young kids making millions)-
Sold 1989 Bowman Ken griffey Jr /father son SGC 98 - $550.00
1996 SP Antoine Walker SGC 100- $1000.00
And over 50 1996 SP Kobe bryant SGC 98's for $280.00 to $350ea
muahaha
regretted it ever since
More like cards I regret destroying.
I once purchased 2 unopened boxes of 1963 Topps at a yard sale back in 1982 for $2. My dad also got me a BB gun that same year, and I used to open the packs and have target practice. Luckly my dad caught me in the act and took all my cards, 1 1/2 box of unopened packs of 1963 Topps. which later I found in the early 1987 and traded them for the first 200 issues of X-men comics #1 - #200 I wish I never found the box until the 90's when I got interested in the hobby.
Fortunately I have 4 more of the 64 Roses, the best of which is this one:
"Molon Labe"
