Default Just my nickle
but I have faced that problem MANY times albeit not at that lofty a level. Unless it can't be replaced - lock up a good profit and buy a NICE card in it's place.

It can be replaced. But knowing you sold it for xxx amount. Later when it rises to xxxx . Even you have the money you will not buy it back because in your mind you remember you sold it for xxx

Sell it and find the best looking replacement at a lower grade level. You'll still own the card and will have taken some $ off the table at a great price.

This. But wait until May when there is substantial media coverage of his 90th birthday.

I agree. Did that with my Dr. J RC last year and haven't regretted it. Of course it helps that I got out about 25% above current market.

Or just put the card up for sale at a crazy price and see what happens. I did that over the weekend with a Ruth card I don't really want to sell but will if I can cash out at the right price. In this frothy market you never know.

This right here. Sell the Mays, buy a nicely-centered 5 to replace it, and pocket the difference.

This happens with lots of sales. We would never sell anything if we thought this way I see cards I had that are selling for many times more than I sold them for. Especially when grading came along. Sell & purchase a lower grade for less money. Joe
