Hi all...I was just thinking back to all the times I have been ripped a new one when buying boxes and getting nothing or dealing a card that you should have kept!!!
But sometimes you have a nice little win and think to yourself maybe its worthwhile after all!!!
here are two instances in which I feel I made the right decision and made some money!!!
1} Pulled a Kyrie Irving 12/13 prizm auto rookie /25, at the time his cards where going stupid and previous sales of this card were insane...so I put it on ebay with a BIN of $2500 and it sold overnight and the money was paid into paypal straight away...at the time I thought should I have kept it...but recent sales if you can find one hightlight another story...the last couple have gone raw for $300-400 ouch if you bought one back then...
2} Purchased a lebron 08/09 pmg green in beautiful condition, for $800aus, my wife went nuts when I bought it, but I wanted it and new that It would carry more value...over time I toyed with it on ebay and knocked back one offer of 6k us...ouch!!!! because I was unsure at the time, so when it comes down to it, I finally sold it 12 months later for just under 4k us, with the exchange rate at the time I think it equated to about an extra $400 in my pocket...since then I believe they have lost some value and did well to sell it...plus these are so condition sensitive and seem to degrade over time, I have the red version that has never been out of a one touch and has been buried in my box of goodies away from light etc...and have noticed lately that the black areas are starting to white up a bit...might want to check yours everyone if you have any of these in your collection...
