What card(s) do you regret selling the most?

Wilbur · 10-26-2020, 05:37 PM

I got bored today and was surfing around eBay at some of Giannis Antetekoumpo Prizm rookie cards, and I almost got sick!! Back during his rookie year, I had his Prizm Base, Prizm Silver, Prizm blue (retail), Prizm light blue die cut /199, and I believe the orange though my memory is foggy on that one. I paid $27 for all of them at the time and I think I got $100 for the lot. Not a bad profit, right?! Granted they weren't graded, but considering the base RC goes for around $1k now, I lost out on at least $50k or more. A PSA 10 silver prizm alone sold for $42k this year. Assuming these eBay sales are legit, I am in disbelief at how valuable he has become in just 7 years. Can anyone beat that??? Lol...ugh!!

LeBron Ultimate 9.5/10

Easy answer

I’d probably still sell it today, I don’t care about the actual card, just thinking what I could flip the $100K for (no clue what it goes for... but I know it’s close)

Now I have no idea what I got out of it as I always use selling to buy, I’m sure I made plenty of money, but still...

I don't think there's been one of these threads for at least 2 days. We were due!

In basketball I don't have a ton of major regrets other than selling a Kobe Topps Chrome RC refractor PSA 10 for $4700 about 8 years ago. I got it in a deal with some other cards and knew very little about basketball. Last one sold for 88k.

These posts make me feel better (sorry) about all the LeBron rookie autos I sold over the last decade

hermanotarjeta · 10-26-2020, 06:02 PM

Don't worry bro, we've all had $100,000+ sold too early regrets.

I just wish it wasn't in three different sports for me.

Ask him about his football regrets.

hermanotarjeta · 10-26-2020, 06:03 PM

Just think about how many cases of 2013-14 prizm basketball that blowout sold for less than $2000 a case, and you'll feel a little better.

The fact that you know this means I've told that story one too may times

I remember when 2012-13 was $70 a box for Black Friday in 2014. lol

Very true, but I think they made a little more than my measly $70! Lol

KhalDrogo · 10-26-2020, 06:10 PM

Tie on all my Kobe PSA RCs that I sold in 2018. So stupid. Worst was a PSA 9 E-X, so nothing too terrible. Literally the only cards I have regret over selling.

GeechQuest · 10-26-2020, 06:14 PM

I sold a Danny Granger Finest Gold RC Auto once to some jerk who treated it like it was an elementary art project. Big mistake. Sorry guys, that’s on me.

sonic311 · 10-26-2020, 06:23 PM

This one for me.
Sold it a couple years ago for less than 1K.

BreaultCards · 10-26-2020, 06:24 PM

Nothing major couple cards I’ve prob lost 1k on

hche · 10-26-2020, 06:29 PM

2010 Bowman Chrome USA Corey Seager Superfractor non-auto. Sold it for $100.

Basketball has to be Kobe Topps Chrome RC. Had like 20 of them and sold all but 1 when they went up from like $10 to $30. Hey, it was great return back then. LOL.

hche · 10-26-2020, 06:29 PM

Double posted.

duron · 10-26-2020, 06:31 PM

Nothing huge, but I wish I still had my mj bgs 9 power in the key and warp speed, and his 97-98 silver refractor /1090. It was a 9.5 and had the highest subs I think I’ve seen on one still with peel.

jaymanfu · 10-26-2020, 06:39 PM

Tons.... but now with prices and I know its not basketball but... several years ago I sold a 1st edition Charizard for $330 hurts so bad

Charizard breaking a lot of hearts right now, that's for sure. They're not gonna get me on my My Little Pony AppleJack RC SP PSA 10 though. I'm holding that sucker for life.

unclemonkey · 10-26-2020, 06:49 PM

There was the Contenders (I think) case break 1 of 1 of Markannen that hurt...

I had either the Bulls or Wolves and it went to the other team because of the trade. I try to forget that one...

I recently saw a Luis Robert green 1st Bowman that easily cost me $900
