Cards you wish you sold, but still own.

I figure that for every card you wish you had kept, there's got to be a card you wish you unloaded at the peak of the market. Mine is the 1990 Leaf Sammy Sosa rookie PSA 10. At one point, I believe the card was around $1K, and I didn't sell! image What's yours?

    I agree with that one.

    Everything 80s and up except 84 Donruss which IMO is one of the finest Sets ever printed.90s and 2000s although I do not have many of the 90s and 2000s.

    How about if we just narrow it down to one card in particular?

    This Gretzky was absolutely, 100%, perfect. ONLY thing wrong with it was a stain between the "L and E" in OILERS. First print run. Other than the stain it really is perfect. If I had it today I'd crack it and try to remove it. Looks a tad OC in the pic, but it is not, the PSA case is in the way.

    i have a 1990 Sosa 1990 Fleer Canadian that i pulled from a pack. was offered $125.00 but with the Cubs being one of my favorite teams, and Sammy just hit his mid 50's hr in 1998, i held off. Dude bought another one and 12 yrs later still hanging on to it.
    Why do superheros only hang out in New York or L.A.? Why not Bangor??

    I would definitely agree too.

    If I were to identify some specific examples, they would include:

    1994 SP Marshall Faulk PSA 10 - could have gotten $800 at one point
    1995 Select Certified Terrell Davis PSA 9 - this this peaked at $125
    1985 Topps McGwire PSA 8 - yeah, only an 8 but I'm pretty sure this was over $100 at the peak

    800 ct. box of 1987 Fleer Glossy Dorn Taylor cards, and an 800 ct. box of Wally Ritchie cards from the same set. I still have them around here somewhere.
  • AlbertdiditAlbertdidit Posts: 560 ✭✭✭
    One card i still have that i can think of off the top of my head is Steve Francis SP rookie. Hottest rooke that year. That card booked $300-$400 or somewhere around there. Now I can get about $1 delivered for that card

    At what point were Dorn Taylor or Wally Ritchie cards ever desirable enough to make someone want to hoard them?

    Dorn Taylor were teammates in the movie Major League. Tom Berenger played Taylor and Corbin Bernsen played Dorn.

    86 Donruss Jose Canseco rookie cards.
  • WalterSobchakWalterSobchak Posts: 2,096
    My box of about 100-150 cards which contains nothing but rookie cards of Ben McDonald, Tom Gordon, and Marquis Grissom. At no point was I ever going to retire on those cards, but there was definitely a window where I could have at least gotten SOMETHING for them- a buck a card maybe. Now the best I could hope for would be to sell them for what it would cost me to ship them!

    Thankfully, I have either sold or given away the vast majority of my 80's and 90's stuff. Of course I took about a 90-95% loss on my "investment", but at least they aren't taking up space in my condo.

    1990 Upper Deck French hockey cards and unopened box. I paid $400.00 for the box. I bought a lot of the stars for around $10.00 to $30.00 ea. I still have the box and all the cards today as a reminder of bad investments. image

    In 2000 or 2001 I bought a 1983 Fleer Tony Gwynn in PSA 10 for somewhere in the $550 range. Wish I would have turned that puppy around immediately. Now I'd be lucky to get fifty bucks. Shoot.

    Albertdidit - I am not sure what the 1987 Fleer Bonds peaked at, but I sold my PSA 10 for $424.00 and was getting $75.00 for my 9's and $35. for my 8's all on ebay.

    But to stay on topic, I would say my 1987 Topps Mike Greenwells and other rookies from that set.

    I have a PSA 10 1997-98 Tracy Mcgrady SP Authentic that at one time was a 1/1.
    I listed it on eBay with a big reserve and it reached $6700.
    I decided to keep it since the 93 Jeter and 94 Arod were both in the $20,000 range at the time.

    Still a very tough card. Might be a HOFer. I think there are about 11 of them.
    Probably couldn't get $400 for it now...
    I am buying and trading for RC's of Wilt Chamberlain, George Mikan, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and Bob Cousy!
    Don't waste your time and fees listing on ebay before getting in touch me by PM or at gregmo32@aol.com !
