And it goes on and on and on ..and this is just my basketball section..not even football or baseball :doh::doh:

On another note, it makes me so dam* sad that panini has a monopoly. Competition between the companies made for some absolutely BEAUTIFUL cards a decade ago...

Yep.....I try not to look back at what I used to own.

[ThoseBackPages]

you can get PB to work? LOL

[NeilCO]

I didn't start collecting basketball as an adult until 2013. Almost all of my regrets are Giannis-related. A bit of McCollum, too. I'm sure there will be more, but at the same time, DAMN I got good money for Trey Burke and Michael Carter-Williams!

Definitely agree that most of us have been on both sides of this equation over time. Whether you're "prospecting" or not, if you ever opened up any serious quantity of wax AND didn't keep every single card you pulled, I'm pretty sure that both types of experiences will apply. I enjoy hearing the sorrows get at least somewhat if not completely balanced out with joys, and hope that other posters will also share both sides.

Edit: By the way - great pictures and cards OP!!!

Not on release, I bought this on bin for $200 in 2013.

[persona]

I sold two LeBron Exq RPA for $12k each and I thought I got away with murder at that price...

[WhacksPacks]

^
That's still huge money though. I wouldn't feel TOO terrible although I guess they are what double that now? So I get it.
The first Jordan in my OP I sold for 900.00 in 2009
It got up to 10K a few years ago during the jordan mania. Made me want to cry.
Also that Durant Bowman Sterling Red Refractor RC.. sold it for MAYBE 20.00 after release.
It's got to be close to 500.00-1K now.
Oh wellllll

[asujbl]

I don't allow myself to get too upset - because I made money on almost all this stuff - but it can definitely still be painful. Won't go back and dig through scans as it might send me over the edge.

LeBron SPA 9.5/10
LeBron SPA PSA 10
LeBron Ultimate 9.5/10
LeBron SPA (6X raw copies)

That right there today if you believe sales (some of which I think are shilled to death) is like $50,000 that I probably got $15,000 for.

[dvstringz]

I started collecting again in 09-10 and had a bunch of Steph Curry, James Harden and Blake Griffin rc autos from classics (one of my favorite sets). I sold them super early and super cheap, while I kept Tyreke Evans and Brandon Jennings...still having nightmares lol

[jstephens24]

I'm sure a lot of these sold though to help pay for another card

I sold one of my favorites (Harper/Trout dual 2013 tier one auto) for 1300. Bought for 400. I used that money to upgrade my truck.

[JasonM32]

There are a few cards that I used to own that cause me great pain when I think about them.

[SteveO21]

At one point, I was completely fed up with how much money I was wasting on cards and decided to get out. I thought it would be a good idea to delete everything from my photobucket account to really stick it to myself. I regret that so much because it would be really cool to look back at the collection I used to have when I didn't actually care about having money.

[chris_ac]

I hear regrets on this forum every now and then and I say do you regret what you currently own or worse own nothing now? If you're happy with your collection today, then the past timeline of additions and subtractions should be null and void since it led you to the current state. Now if you are lying around with nothing but cards you really don't want, then yes, you went off a rail somewhere and need a time machine. The DeLorean warehouse is an hour from where I live lol

[dasiegel]

Don't even ask me about baseball but basketball I wouldn't mind my Lebron TC RC Ref back or a few top NT RPAs:/

[gottagitdemjs]

I finally deleted my photobucket. They totally ruined it with the constant ads.

[Rareairx23]

God anytime i see threads like these i just think about all the whiteside and draymond nt rpa's i had

[chris_ac]

I did own a MJ jersey numbered auto once and a MJ 1/1 auto as well I pulled at my LCS that I feel would be worth more now, but never lose sleep over it.

[TWard]

As for me, it seriously makes me f'ing sick. I sold all of these and a whole lot more in order to buy drugs. Makes me sick and pissed off but not much I can do about it now.

A little context - I used to collect Pau Gasol, Corey Maggette and Rasual Butler. My Gasol and Maggette PCs were pretty spectacular. I regret selling everything to this day, almost 9 days later.

Here's a few cards. Just the tip of the iceberg... ugh.

I love and hate these threads! But it is comforting to know it happens to us all.
I sold my entire collection when I got married and had two daughters , as we needed the "card room" for the kids.

Curry NT RPA with an awesome patch
3 Harden NT RPA's , including a Platinum /5
Jordan rookie fleer PSA 9
Jordan star rookie BG 9
Lebron SP Authentic rookie auto
A ton of 2012 prizm silvers...AD , Lebron, Kobe, and gold/green prizms too.
Giannis prizm rookies
Probably 5-6 more Jordan autos, 10-12 Kobe autos...

UGH.....Sigh.....

[PSA2Pac]

Nope, I missed that whole era. When I was a kid, Shaq was big.

I dont regret selling any of the Shaq rookies I had. Never pulled anything good as a kid anyway.
