Your Biggest Collectible Failure (Value Wise)

• 2009: I almost pulled the trigger on paying $5k for a complete PSA 10 1st edition holo set that Ed had posted on eBay… but I settled on paying Gary $1k for a PSA 9 set instead. (The regret has nothing to do with Gary )

• Early 2017: I had a big decision to make… Complete the PSA 10 1st edition Neo Revelations / Destiny Shining set or not? I had been sitting on the Charizard and the Mewtwo for about a decade but hadn’t yet gotten around to getting the others. I really didn’t need the money, but I decided to sell the Charizard and the Mewtwo because… I don’t even know. I think I was of the mindset that I’ll just sell off the only two cards I have now and if the prices don’t go up dramatically maybe I’ll buy a complete set at some point in the future. I sold the Charizard for the $900 and the Mewtwo for $650… but recently the Charizard sold for over $2500 and the Mewtwo sold for well over $1000… So yeah, bad decision.

But mostly… not much. I’ve been really fortunate with the investments I’ve made in Pokemon cards.

What’s really funny about that is that set Eddie had was also mine lol. I guess I was competing against myself lol.
