I often get this feeling too, but 95% of the time it's what I call "pre-" seller's regret. In that I think about and agonize over which cards I really want to sell before I actually do it, but then a large majority of the time after they are gone, I don't think twice about it and am able to move on. I have a few passive regrets on cards that got away years ago - I remember getting rid of them and occasionally wish I hadn't - but it's nothing that keeps me up at night.
