How Often?

[Carter08]

Traded a T227 Cobb to N54 member for a T206 Cobb. Fair deal and all but that card will eventually call back to me for sure!

I sold all 4 T206 Cobb poses in PSA6 about 13yrs ago for what (at the time) I thought was a good price. I didn't get sellers remorse until around 3-4 yrs later and started looking to pick them back up, sadly I just couldn't get over the hurdle of new prices and with prices what they are today I'll never get them back in that grade. I can't bring myself to pick up a lower grade knowing at one time I had them all in a 6

The one that leaps out at me is the Mayo Hugh Duffy. I really liked that card, found one at a very reasonable price, and held it for a long time. Then someone started making offers on it, so I set a price and they paid it. I regretted the sale for years until I was able to buy a replacement several years later.

The other one is a rare Cuban tobacco card from a brand called Turquino. There was one known example of Dempsey and one of Tunney. A big Dempsey collector approached me to buy my Tunney and made a ridiculous offer so I sold it. He quit a year later and I got it back for a lot less.

When I sell a card it's for the reasoning of supporting my family ~
with that sed... any Matty that I needed to sell is missed & I probably won't get him back.
Only being able to be his conservator fir a time will always be cherished ~

Hi

I have done it several times

I recently re bought in last 6 months a Felix Mendelssohn Ruth and an e121 Ruth (throwing pose)

At the times I had to sell/ trade to get my Rookie Ruth and another card that I wanted more(do not recall which).

Sadly it took time for me to find a replacement for each of those 2 cards. In both cases I had to pay more for them since the market went up.

Boy, I can see why! That Matty is breathtaking. I've done the same thing, but you just have to bear in mind it was for supporting your family. Having said that, I jolly well know the pain will remain. -- Brian Powell

I haven't had the experience of selling a card like that; however, there are a number I kick myself for not digging deeper for when I had the chance. Cards that I thought were overpriced at the time have since sold for several multiples, and/or just don't come up that often.
