Friends,
As some of you read last month, I sold about 95 percent of my collection.
In order to make the lot attractive enough to sell, in addition to the hundreds of thousands of commons I had to obviously throw in a ton of my best rookie cards, GU, autos, etc.
This included probably 90 percent of my beloved Mike Trout collection.
The one I really didn't want to give up but had to in order to make the deal work was my last remaining 2011 Topps Update US175 RC.
Technically I could have kept it, but in the overall lot I had included an open rack pack box of 2011 Topps Update singles as well as probably 400 or so additional commons, because I had intended to put together a complete set someday.
I figured if the buyer looked through everything and didn't have a Trout to go with the rest of the set he was going to ask about it anyway, so I just threw it in.
I still have enough "juice" to trade for one if anyone has an extra - I know they're tough to come by these days!
Anyway, as I said before I'm very happy with the deal and glad to have the bulk out of my life, but yeah, that is one I wish I had back.
