This thread is literally making me sick to my stomach. When I was graduating high school in 1997 and got into college on a scholarship, I asked my parents if I could use $6000 from my college fund that I no longer needed to buy a PSA 8 '52 Topps Mantle that the LCS was selling for $5740. Yes, that price will forever be burned into my memory. As most parents would, they denied my request. Now, every time I see the sale price of these cards, I remind them off what I could have had.
But you probably would have sold the Mantle as soon as the value hit 10K. so don't be too hard on yourself, lol..
Yeah it's hard to hold those cards with the value going up more than the house you live in. So True!!

We all have those stories not just with Mantle but I have one with Trout rookie cards. I was watching a lot of (73) Trout 2011 Topp's PSA 10 cards on Ebay for a friend and the auction was at was at $2300. I text my friend 1 hour before and then 5 minutes before to remind him and no response. As it turns out he was at the movies and had his phone on mute. We talk about that all the time as he would of bid to win them. I knew I should of bid on them but snoozed. Those cards are in $400 each range now. You just don't see those auctions much. It's tough to get 73 gem mint 10 cards of any player. Expensive movie my friend went to.
