Years ago, I sold off a run of Bowman sets (kept the 53 Color set) along with some pre-war sets (Play Balls, Diamond Stars, Delong) to raise money for work we were doing on the house. I then took a long break from collecting, but it always pained me to have sold the sets. About 5 years ago, as money became available again. I got back into collecting. I had always been a set builder so I decided to rebuild what I had sold. While I definitely spent more to rebuild them than I had sold them for, I had a great time doing it and was very happy to restore my collection to what it had once been. As others have said, if you aren't in it to make money as an investor, do what makes you happy. If you miss having the set you sold off, go ahead and build it again.
