Which cards do you regret selling?

GoSportsball · 11-22-2021, 05:54 PM

For me it easily my McDavid 2015 Ultimate Retro RPA /15 that I let go for a measly $750 when the product came out.

Wouldn’t mind having that 2015 Ultimate Panarin Rookie Shield Auto either.

I shudder to think of all the Mcdavid YGs I traded for peanuts on epack.

Then to 2016 I am happy I got rid of my Laine stash but maybe not the 20-some Auston YG BGS 9.5s.

Those were the days eh

Philobeddo · 11-22-2021, 07:24 PM

Mine would have to be the McDavid retro auto I hit a few years back for hockey… but overall there is a laundry list lol…. Mahomes NT Rookie Hats off Tag auto /3, the Josh Allen hats off /3 or the Red Luka prizm, Ohtani Bowman Atomic Rookie auto, Luka Kaboom, Giannis prizm rookies… All for under $1000 each

Anything we sold pre-covid is the answer

WillyC · 11-23-2021, 10:15 AM

selling all my 1950s cards (except one) when the junk wax bubble was bursting in 1991.

This is the real answer. To add to that, I sold off probably 85% of my Jagr collection a few months before Covid. Cards I couldn't sell for a year on COMC for $80 are now going for $350. His market has gone crazy.

Fulmer4MVP · 11-23-2021, 09:49 PM

I broke a ton of boxes in 2005-06, chasing Crosby. I never really pulled much of him, but Ovechkin followed me everywhere. I had 6-7 YGs, 3 SPA FW, an Ultimate RC, a SPx and tons of Beehive. I sold all of it the next year when I had my first kid on the way, well except the Beehive, I have a whole binder of the regular and reds and blues.

odjickfan · 11-27-2021, 01:10 AM

A Brett Hull auto /15 from UD Masterpieces 14-15. I got some nice money for it and it went to a serious masterset builder, but still!

Nutcracker33 · 11-29-2021, 03:22 AM

hockey wise probably

all the Mcdavid rookie autos I pulled, including 2 Future Watch which 1 graded a 9.5. Also a Matthews Future watch auto graded a BGS 10

SV2 · 11-29-2021, 07:31 AM

1966 Orr. Yes, it was beat to hell. Yes, I made a profit. Still....

Hallco · 11-29-2021, 08:03 AM

Ovechkin Young Guns BGS with four straight 9 grades. Sent it in myself and have no clue why I decided to sell it soon after pulling it.

I think I got $90 for it back then. It's probably way out of my price range forever now. Sigh

Jgil316 · 11-29-2021, 08:31 AM

Mine was a
BVG 2.5 0-Pee-Chee Gretzky...

The corners, edges and surface were great - but terribly OC from left to right.....

udprospect · 12-01-2021, 10:22 PM

These are my top 3 (nothing super high end):
SP Authentic FWA's:
MA Fleury
Lundqvist
Kovalchuk

My Bad, forgot this one FWA MacKinnon...... Pre-covid.

Take care,
Mike

Great time to buy Kovy now though. Hobby has almost forgotten about him. My preference was always the Premier RC. Stunning card.

Inferno · 12-02-2021, 03:20 AM

I very rarely regret selling a card. If I’m selling something it’s to consolidate and help fund something even better. If I do feel a bit of remorse all I need to do is look at the card I bought with the proceeds and it always validates the decision.

I am a Leafs fan, and had a BGS 9.5 true gem Auston Matthews Young Gun that I sold before the start of his Rocket winning season. The money went towards a Bobby Orr rookie that is now my favorite card in my entire collection. Matthews went on to light it up all season and his YG price went straight up and I don’t regret it one bit. Had I not sold that card I would have fallen short of affording the Orr. When given the choice between a Matthews YG and an Orr rookie I take the Orr every single time.

As long as you are selling a card to upgrade your PC and you make good decisions on the things you buy it’s much easier to move on from nice cards and not have regrets.

kellmuff · 12-03-2021, 08:43 AM

I moved a couple Crosby YG's like 10 years ago that obviously I wish I had held onto.

gretzky signature champions auto /10

like a year ago and it still stings

glorbgorb · 12-16-2021, 01:42 PM

It's not hockey, but I was building a master set of the first Iron Man movie back in 2010 or so, when the set first came out. Part of that was the RDJ auto, which I gleefully picked up at the time for $180 or so. I got bored with the set months later and split it up. Someone offered me $250 for the RDJ auto. I thought sure, $70 profit for a few months of sitting in a box, why not.

Now it goes for... much, much more.

jdbuzz44 · 12-16-2021, 04:09 PM

I sold my best 5 Hockey cards(among others) in 2014 to help pay for an engagement ring....I'm sure you know how that turned out LOL

05/06 Crosby Black Diamond RC Ruby/100
05/06 Crosby Young Guns x 2
05/06 Ovechkin Young Guns
06/07 SP Authentic Crosby Auto

RW3FAN · 12-16-2021, 06:09 PM

About 3 years ago I bought a Gretzky OPC rookie, BGS 6 for $650.
Sold it a year later for $1,100 and thought the buyer was nuts.......

Cpdjoe77 · 12-16-2021, 06:13 PM

LOL I have a similar story. Had a ‘67 Orr PSA 7 that I bought for like $300. It went for auction for $900 and I was sure it was shilled or would get returned. Now that guy looks like a genius.

vincecarder · 12-16-2021, 08:07 PM

Dead centered PSA 9 OPC Gretzky for $2500cdn shipped when that was high market price. Was suppose to keep that one long term. At least the oil drop was a little off lol.
