Cards you regret holding

Yanked a kyle Lewis '20 topps clear. Held. Makes a good bookmark now. You?...

By percentage of value lost, these two:

Jasson Dominguez 1st Bowman Chrome. Pulled from a pack while it was selling for $50 for a week or two. What is it now, a $3 card?

Aristedes Aquino Topps Chrome RC Set Variation. At one time going for $12-15, now what .50 cents, lol?

A Yoelqui Cespedes First Bowman Chrome Sapphire auto I got from a mixer break. I can’t remember the parallel but it’s /99. I think it was like a $200+ card back then. Held it and I don’t even think the kid ever even made the Majors.

Regardless of player performance who coulda thunk a card there’s probably 100,000 of would tank?

Unless you owned this card.

Most cards I submitted for grading, 2018-2023.

I buy cards to hold. So I don't regret holding them.

The vast majority of the ultramodern cards I buy will eventually go down to zero dollars in value. I don't regret that at all. I buy them because I want the card in my collection.

On the other hand, there has never been a card I have sold (which isn't many) that I haven't regretted selling.

I currently have around 30 1st bowman chrome autos of Delvin Perez in various forms.....from base to multiple gold refractors. Last I looked he was playing in some sort of semi pro league in Canada!!!

vwnut13 · 01-05-2026, 02:15 PM

Any card made in the last 7 years?

Not yet. Just injured for the last half-decade.

Well, base have gone from $3k to $750 for a base. Wait a year, and you can probably get a Diamond or Blue for that.

IronCladLou · 01-05-2026, 04:59 PM

Should have dumped the redemption when I hit it. Actually got a bit back for it well after he was cooked, so it wasn't the worst thing.

Baseball has been good to me, NFL not so.

PSA-10 Trout used to be < $150. $750 sounds great!

I was so happy when that offer came in. I gave the guy every Franco card I had as well.
