Wish I could have it back thread

Pulled an 0708 Ice Signature Swatches Gretzky that I sold for 310. Miss it.
Glad I have a scan for the memory.
 
Couple of more cards just came to top of my head:

Gretzky/Lemieux DUAL SOTT
Crosby 05-06 SOTT

both pulled from 06-07 SPA boxes..
 
This isn't high end or anything. I just love the jersey piece and haven't seen anything else like it since. It went to Casey (str8jkt) for his set, so I'm glad it helped.

I don't have a scan anymore but I do miss the Elias LL I sent to Andrew. I got great stuff in return but it was the start a good friendship that's last 3years after the trade happened.

Miss the card but happy with the results.
 
I'm treating this as I wish I could have or would have kept these cards in my collection, but I know full well they ended up in good homes and helped pay the bills, so no major regrets. :)

If memory serves, I snagged the Mikita from you and gave it to a local Hawks fan....
 
Mine would have to be an Alexander Ovechkin Young Gun... pulled it from the first box that I ever opened, really wish I had hung on to it. :(

I didn't realize there is a damage on it (leftside tear) until I listed it and so I had to include the damage in my description. I should have just held on to it as it sold for half of what the one before it went for.

check out the SUN on the stick piece. It went to a good home.
 
I really miss some pieces i moved recently but i know theyre in good collections here on HI :)


Wish i kept this one i pulled back in the day... big regret :o

4/10

truly that is a card i'd cry day and night over if i had to let it go. :|
 
I have a few that I miss, but only one that is irreplaceable.

05/06 UD Ultimate Shield 1/1 Cam Ward.

It hurt to sell it, but it was necessary.
 
Here's my top 3:

03/04 Original Six Chuck Conacher Glove /20 - I'd loved to have kept it, but In truth I nabbed it for 30 bucks on a BIN and a set collector needed it to finish the run of Leafs Memorabilia. I'm more into graphs than memorabilia so the money went toward a conacher graph.

There's a Lemieux ITG All Star Auto/Jersey that's in the gallery that I forgot who owns it. I sold it to chips Dad (I think) eons ago for a price we were both happy with - I already had a Lemieux Graph and I was able to turn that money (plus a few other cards) into a fairly big PC item - a Newsy Lalonde autograph. The card is an absolute beauty and there are still days I wish I hadn't sold it.

Number 3 (or 1) - Jim Craig Miracle Men Auto. Got lucky and pulled it from my breaks at Dave and Adams - and promptly ebayed it and got 400 plus for it. The 400 bought a LOT of 04/05 Heroes and Prospects Jeff Carter cards (An auto jersey, a Gold Emblem, among others). I don't really have any regrets but deep down I kind of wish I could have made a deal with a fellow hobbyist on this site for it rather than sell it to a faceless ebay account in Maine.
 
Well, for me it would have to be my Gretzky collection (at one time was pretty nice). I used to have two full UD Gretzky Master Collections (U.S. and Canadian versions), plus some other biggies. Some of mine were fortunate enough to make it to Jeffrey and his amazing collection. :beer: And some other Gretzky collectors benefited from me ending my collection...both in getting some of my cards ...and for me not competing with them...although there is a lot of competition for Gretzky cards nowadays.

I used the sales/trades to pay bills or get other cards I wanted.

And divorces really hurt....so really think about that if you plan on getting married people! :)

Happens.....

Anyway, here are a few of the nicer ones (of course, I kept some of the scans :) )

A few come to mind. Mostly my 07-08 SOTT set. I was down to 5 to go but the UD kept coming out with more and more as replacments so I just gave up. but this first one Went to Quincy and paid for some bills. Just whish I would have not of sold it

Do you remember which one it was? I believe you scored a Brodeur/Sykora SOTT plus something else in the deal, but that was many deals ago between us.

Best part of any deal is actually getting to know the person on the other end, been a blast dude.
