Hold hold hold!

Don't make the mistakes I did. When in doubt hold.

I sold these cards in 2011-2012 because I wanted to move the money into other hobbies. I was done with cards!

A few Years later I find myself foaming at the mouth seeing how much they sell for now.

What the heck happened?

This '52 Mantle PSA 2 I ended up sending to Probstein got just under $7k in 2012.

The '51 Bowman was sold in 2011 to a fellow board member for under $5k

I'm happy for those who stuck it out.
I guess the moral of my story is no regrets. When you walk away it's just that.

    Hindsight is always 20/20. Don't beat yourself up.

    I remember passing on a 2000 Brady Contenders PSA 10 for 2k. Probably a 50k card now.

    Happens to us all ...
