Not a topic I’ve given a huge amount of consideration to, but a few recent examples related to it and how things went down:
One, I think Dick Allen belongs in the HOF, but apparently I thought a lot more of Dick before I read a bio on him back last fall. I had been working on his base card run, but suddenly it no longer seemed super important for me to keep all of his cards, so I sold the RC and his ‘65 semi-high SP to fund other projects. I kept his ‘71 Topps SP because I’ve always just thought that was a bad@ss card...
Two, Reggie Jackson. I had never had his RC, and in my mind at least that was an iconic card from my childhood that had never happened. So at some point last summer, before prices really exploded - I bought a PSA 6 copy. It was a nice card and neat to own for a while, but you know what? I just couldn’t make myself care that much about Reggie Jackson. A few months ago, I sold the card at $100+ profit and put the proceeds into a ‘67 Mantle for my set efforts there.
