Auction Loss Silver Linings

There is a decent looking 2 of the 144 up on ebay for 8k. If you were willing to pay 6 for that psa 1, the 2 is a bargain (not my card).

It is. I saw a PSA 1 1962 Aaron that went for nearly $200. Makes no sense. I am not sure whether to be sorry I didn't buy some of my target cards or happy for the ones I have.

I can’t get over these Ruth prices. At this point I think I need to come to terms with the fact that this is now a card like the 52 Mantle or even 51 Bowman Mantle that I have missed the boat on and need to get over.

Just kicking myself for not pulling the trigger on it years ago. I never really thought I’d be able to own a nice Mantle but I always assumed I’d have the Ruth. But at some point it’s just not feasible.

I'm sure for most it's both. I sold a few cards a few months ago that I obviously wish I had back now. I had always planned to add a 52 Mays, among others, that have really exploded. Never got around to it. But I am grateful I was able to add what I did this past year and earlier.
