Cards you sold and wish you hadn't

Ryan, just know that it is very loved by the whole family, and gets me through any rough patch Also, it brought smiles to lots of folks at the Slugger Exhibit. It's a card with a warm, happy energy to it; guess that's 'cause it's always meant a lot to those who have taken care of it.

Well I'm just glad it ended up in the hands of a great guy and collector. I found an old scan of before and after grading for you to enjoy ...

Wow, very cool to see it in that original state pre-slab, thanks for sharing that. Always amazes me how 99% of them managed to get so poorly cut at the factory.

Got interested in baseball cards again back in 1988. Attended my first card show at a high school gym sometime in 1989. Couldn't resist what was a really nice copy of a 1957 Frank Robinson. Paid $350. Had a company close down on me in 1991 and was forced to package the Robinson with 5 other cards (including what I think might have been a 9+ second year Stargell) for $300. Still hurts, especially when I see Frank Robby's that couldn't hold a candle to the one I had selling for 3x what I paid. Oh well.

A friend reminded me I sold an 84/85 OPC Hockey hockey wax case for 600 hundred bucks. Thanks!!

Yes... I was lucky to see it when it was on display here at the Louisville Slugger Museum. My wife was even intrigued by the card. I left drooling!!!
