i've only been in this for 7 years, but the clear lesson in that time seems to be to never sell a single thing! very sweet book and price too. 

Oh yeah. If you sold anything decent other than Avengers 55 in the last decade you have lived to regret it.

I can say the same. If only I held onto some of those GA Detectives I sold 5 years ago, I would have at least doubled my money today.

My old copy. I had trouble moving it at $3000 about 10 years ago. My how times have changed.

Do you think over any time period, this is the most you left on the table?

I wonder how some of those chaps feel present day who were selling GA and SA keys in the 80s. I guess it's no different then me selling out of my AAPL position ten years ago.

I had one of those facepalm moments on CLink this week - I bid on a book that I thought was undervalued in the auction.  I looked at the label and did my research and decided to make an aggressive bid that was still under market value with the complete expectation that I was going to be outbid immediately.  Lo and behold, I was not and I was the high bidder.  That got me thinking a little and I looked at the listing  bit closer.  What I thought I was bidding on, and what the CGC label said, was a first print, however, in the listing it said that it was a label error that was currently being fixed by CGC because it was a second printing.  Up until about 15 minutes before the end of the auction I was still the highest bidder when someone else outbid me and created a new high for that book.  Dodged a bullet but left me with a sense that I need to read the listing completely before I place my next bid.  Live and learn.
