My first Ruth strip card, sold to Lyman for $100 and is now pictured on oldcardboard.com. This was before I knew what I was doing too. |

There is a long wrinkle that is difficult to see - you can sort of make part of it out in plank's forehead. |

But the T213-3 overprint Cobb and Kotton Mathewson in great shape come to mind. I also regret selling off a set of E97s and E98s as it has proved difficult and costly to later replace them. My biggest regret, though, was selling an E95 Wagner in exmt about 6 years ago. Dumb! |

For about a third of what it is worth. Wanted to give the buyer a nice deal as a gesture of thank's for the business. |

Bought a really nice raw E107 Plank at 95 St. Louis national. Had it graded - came back PSA 8. Mastro auctioned it for me - really wish I still had it. No scan but it is in a Mastro catalogue from several years ago. Wonder where it's new home is? |

What did you get for the Brunners? I think that's Cobb's best card (not to rub it in). This is one that went in a trade (for a Goudey Ruth). |

John, Nice Jackie. I have always loved that card. I've got a lower grade copy that I doubt I will ever trade. The D304 went for a high grade T206 Cobb - comparable financial value, but a lot easier to find. That D304 will be irreplacable in that condition. Oh well. I know it has a happy home now. |

It's kind of a loaded question, since with the market rising at such a rapid pace, in theory anything that anybody ever sold would be a regrettable decision. I've been selling baseball cards for 25 years and I guess I would like them all back. The record price I thought I got in 1987 doesn't look so good today. I bought a low grade Wagner for $8250 in 1986 and auctioned it a year and a half later for 18K. I was ecstatic! Looking back, guess I gave it away. If the market was in a freefall, I doubt anyone would regret selling anything, since all could be bought back more cheaply. And don't think it's impossible that that day won't come. |

Very interesting perspective. I'm relatively new to the hobby, when was the last "market free-fall" and what triggered it? What do you see as possible reasons or events that one could happen again? |

I actually do not believe the market will freefall. On the other hand, it can't go up forever and it could recede some. No market goes up forever- not art, real estate, gold, diamonds, whatever... so eventually there will be some adjustment. I remember the early 90's was weak- when the Copeland sale took place in 1991, I don't think the market was that strong. I remember the mid-90's market for 19th century wasn't good- I was afraid back then to keep Old Judges in stock because you couldn't give them away. And after 9/11, the market took a hit. But it's been non-stop upwards since then, which is pretty remarkable. But as I like to say "all vacations have to end sometime." But don't ask me to guess when, I haven't a clue. |

In early Topps and Bowmans in the early 1980's. When gold and silver exploded, so did the then "vintage" card market. The 1952 Topps Mantle went from about $500 at the beginning of 1979 to $3K in early 1980 right back to $500 by the fall of 1982. Then these cards stayed stable or slightly upwards until a response to black monday in 1987 helped trigger a major explosion in Topps/Bowman. |

I regret selling my collection of nearly 300 T210's with Stengel in the last REA auction...I was lead to believe that NOW (then) was the time to sell...so I sent off my cards last October only to get the shaft. Rob (REA) e-mailed me after the auction telling me he would not charge anything if I decided to consign in his next auction, because he felt bad regarding the end result...I have to say...dealing with Rob Lifson was NOT a mistake, he is a class act. But, my timing on selling my collection was only a benefit to the buyer...... |

I am surprised that I do not have an extensive list but the one card that bugs me selling was a T206 Coles, PSA 7, the card was awesome. I know though it is in the good hands of one of our board contributors. |
