Good News, Bad News - David Ortiz
I have a 1998 Donruss Press Proofs Silver of David Ortiz and was thrilled to see the current value.
But, then I remembered I had the Gold Press Proof but sold it last year for $25...sigh.

RE: Good News, Bad News - David Ortiz
I need to go back and see what I've got in regards to his cards. I had started a little PC of his stuff for my son about 8-10 years ago. Got a few autographed cards, some low serial number cards, GU stuff, whatever looked nice. Traded for a bunch of base/inserts on this site.
In getting rid of my collection, these were kept separate so I forgot about them until about 1-1 1/2 years ago and went through them. Some nice looking cards but I have no idea what the "value" is on any of it.
One card that, for whatever reason I vaguely remember trading for on here, was his 1998 Bowman Chrome International Refractor. I didn't even know those were a thing until I saw it for trade in someone's ORG. No idea who traded it to me but I never did any big money card trades on here so it couldn't have been all that much at the time. When I looked at the BV about a year ago it was listed at $25 but a couple had sold on ebay at the same time for about $100-$125. Looked the other day around his being voted into the HoF and the cards had jumped significantly in regards to final sale price on ebay. Well, at least the 2-3 I could find.
I might go ahead and sign up for the ORG again just to get these cards in there and the other little PC thing I recently started as well. I'm sure my son would be interested to see what the Ortiz PC is worth.

Ouch. I have a lot of regrets selling cards over the years that I really wish I had back. But that one tops them all.
