A Project Within a Project

Having a project to focus on for my PSA vintage baseball card collection is essential to my collecting. Often, a card I pick up not only fits into one project I'm working on but another as well - hence, a project within a project. In this video, I look back at the 18 vintage baseball cards I regret selling, how I've been able to reacquire 10 of those cards and talk about the 8 I still need.

Very cool video. I went through a similar situation in my first marriage. Got rid of everything (caved to pressure) and instantly regretted it. There was nothing overly valuable, but they were my childhood. When I started collecting years later, my goal was to recreate my childhood collection of junk wax, which I made a big dent in. But that evolved into modern, and that has now evolved to vintage. I’m a year into vintage and loving it.

[@WadeBoggsFan]

I'm sure we are among a large group of collectors who regret selling some of their cards. Glad you have been able to recreate most of your previous collection. And welcome to the vintage club! I've had a blast building my vintage collection after spending so many years solely devoted to Boggs cards.

Thanks for sharing your reaquired cards, John. Hopefully you can get all of these back without going over your budget.

[@WadeBoggsFan]

Thanks Kevin!

[@ACollectorsDream]

Great stuff John, thanks for sharing

[@WadeBoggsFan]

Thanks Orlando!

[@TJ_Is_Online]

Thank you for sharing the reacquisition journey. All the cards are great. That ‘54 🍋 Ted sings loud to me. Diff crack before sending to PSA. It looks like a stunner to me Same thing happened to me with some cards sold to Mr Mint. Have been lucky to repurchase different copies of each.

[@WadeBoggsFan]

Thanks Terry! Glad you have your own successful repurchase story. 😃

[@mikethesportshistorycollec1947]

Great video John. Very cool that you're starting to get back some of those vintage cards you had to sell.

[@WadeBoggsFan]

Thanks Mike!

Hi John. You’re over halfway there picking up the cards that you had sold. The ones you have now are really nice samples, well done. Good luck on the rest of them. You always balance your many list really well, so good luck in chipping away at them all. I look forward to always seeing them when you pick them up. Talk soon my friend.

[@WadeBoggsFan]

Thanks Stephen. For the most part, picking them up was just a coincidence. It wasn't until I actually checked my list did I realize I've picked up just over half of them. Based on the ones I have, it shouldn't take too much effort to get the rest.

Great show John amazing 77’ ryan Guaranteed that looks way better than your old PSA 8 !! Your bench rc is a masterpiece and I just love em all 👊🤙🤙

[@WadeBoggsFan]

Thanks Dylan! My goal now is to find a 68 Mantle in a 3-4 that looks like a 7! LOL Actually might not be that difficult. That burlap border hides some imperfections.

[@DoubleDvintagebaseballcards]

@@WadeBoggsFan ya that one will be no problem !! Your so right that 68’ sets hides everything on the borders

[@jamesbailey4686]

interrsting concept for this one. like someone else noted, the bench you have now is awesome, glad u were able to add it back. my sellers remorse cards are nolan ryan rookie, 69 ryan in psa 7, and ungraded koufax rookie. not sure when if ever ill add those back as my focus is changed

[@WadeBoggsFan]

I can see how you would have seller's remorse over those cards. But I'm sure they were sold for a purpose.

[@threeg6966]

Good stuff. I have most of these same cards,.. just ungraded.

[@WadeBoggsFan]

Thanks! Cool.

[@jesusplaza51]

Have you done another relic video those are my favorites like seeing all the different boggs relics different brands together Nice 👍 video as always

[@WadeBoggsFan]

I'll probably be doing another one at some point. Need to think about which cards I would want to show off. Glad you liked the previous ones.

[@theautographfishermanjonbu325]

great video

[@WadeBoggsFan]

Thanks!

[@marksantucci4230]

You miss your cards !!!! 1977 Ryan , sweet 1974 Munson , 1974 Pete Rose , 1970 Munson , nice 1968 Bench , very nice 1965Joe Morgan , 1965 Yaz , nice 1960 Musial , nice 1954 Musial , 1952 Warren Spahn , the cards remaining look nice 74 Ryan gotta love.

[@WadeBoggsFan]

Thanks Mark. Yes I do.

[@tjmacvintagecardsnostalgia648]

John, it is tough to sell cards that mean something to you but at least you can re-acquire them. Though, the PSA 7 Mantle had to hurt. I think you may be a little harsh on what those BVGs will cross over to. Many of them get the same grade or may slightly higher or lower. In my experience, collectors just assume it is lower.

[@WadeBoggsFan]

Thanks Terry. I thought the general consensus was that BVG wasn't as tough a grader as PSA for vintage, but I have heard some say that they were pretty spot on. Will be interesting to see what my cards eventually switch over to. Still not sure if I should crack them out and submit them raw or submit them in the BVG slabs for them to crack out and grade. Some say there could be a bias if I send them in still slabbed.

[@tjmacvintagecardsnostalgia648]

@@WadeBoggsFan I would be nervous about cracking them. You have some very nice and valuable cards that you want to cross over.
