Parting is Such Bittersweet Sorrow

The rainbow is no more.

$1500 made me part with it.

Adieu.

Money talks.

If I can inquire: you doing anything card-wise, with the dough?

Congrats on the sale..Moving high end cards always sucks, but it sure is nice to make such a healthy flip.

Saving for the oncoming storm (i.e -- BC, DEEE, etc).

Nice sale. If you don't mind me asking what did you buy in on it for? I always thought about buying a super but I never did just due to the high risk. Thats why when I pulled the Machado in my Sig I had to sell it.

A couple hundred less.

I just hope you didn't move it too soon. I would have held for a couple more starts. That's a tough decision either way though.

And here I thought you were going to be investing in a seat in the Illinois Senate. Not sure what the going rate these days happens to be, but $1500 would be a start.

You bought-in for 1350, right? Will you be listing the rest of the set?

No Rox Auto's in this year's Chrome list, so I'm already set for "the storm".

D.P. .

It was the result of careful consideration, plus a bit of paranoia on my part that Topps will give him his first certified autos sometime soon.

And I still have quite a bit more to move.

A bit less than that. Yes, I'm eventually separating the rainbow, piece by piece.

Very glad you made something off of it. I remember I voiced my opinion when it sold saying there is no way that card would ever go for more than the original selling price.

And here's wishing you well with the rest of them buddy!
It really is nice when an investment actually pays off.

Sorrow looks back, worry looks around, faith looks up....IMO you made the right decision on that card.

hawkfandan · Aug 12, 2010

Congrats on the sale!

I think you made the right choice to get out now while he is HOT

Staying in longer may have got you more but sometimes getting greedy can bite you in the butt

I have the same fear, have unloaded pretty much all my stuff except for my last 20 ct chrome lot. Probably could have held for a few more starts, but not worth the risk of an announcement that he'll have an auto.

500 was the original steal, from another member, via a card show, right?
