Sold a Punisher Limited #1, 9.8, signature Zeck & Beatty on eBay for $330.00 in Aug 2010.....Regret that sale to this day.... :(

 

Luckily, it's not hard for me to replace.....just a matter of putting the money aside for a copy....

So many regrets, but these two stand out as they are really rare(especially the Science 2).

I'm pretty sure the Science has been resubbed and has gone for much bigger bucks than I paid for it. Oh, well.

When I was in the Navy (back in the late 80's/early 90's), my sister sold a bunch of my comics. The ones I know for a fact, and a bunch I don't know for sure, included Silver Surfer 1 and 8, Capt Marvel 3, Iron Man 1, and some others.

 

The one that really pissed me off was IMSM 1. That one was in a high grade gorgeous shape. It was definitely a 9.2/9.4 candidate. I bought another copy of it a few years ago, but, it is not even close to the condition of the one that I had. Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if Cal owns it now.

several:

 

1. Iron Man number 1 waaaay back in 1983. Guide in Mint was 40.00 and the copy I had was spectacular and looked never read untouched. I sold it to a local comic shop owner who *had* to have it and offered me 50 bucks for it. 10 dollars over guide??? I will take it! The book now resides in a CGC 9.9 white pages slab.

 

2. Hulk #1 cgc 1.5 blue label. Possibly the nicest Hulk 1 in grade I have ever seen.

 

3. Crime Suspenstories 22. Sold it at the last Calgary comic con. Why do I regret it? Because at the time I thought " I can always get another one." Suddenly it seems the book has quadrupled in value.

When I sold all the stock from my comic book shop in 1996, I sold all my personal books, too - which included the sale of these two:

A UXM 94 signed by Chris Claremont in 1993 when I met him at an Aurora shopping mall comic shop while I was away at college and my X-Men #1, which is in about Good condition, but it was my first big "grail" comic I ever had.

 

I always regretted selling them because they were my favorite conversation pieces in my comic shop, and I took a lot of pride in owning them. The disappointment really set in when i got back into comics in 2008 and I found myself missing them more than ever.

 

However, in a fortunate turn of events, I ran into the guy who bought my books 16 years ago - and he still had them, stacked in his basement, in the same boxes I sold them to him in. (He has tens of thousands of comics). He agreed to sell them back to me - and now they are back on my wall, just like I had them in the old comic shop.

If you sold this on ebay back in the early-mid 2000s, I was the buyer. Cracked it out, kept it for a while and eventually sold it maybe four years ago - I think on the boards.

 

even with the tape on the interior, I felt it was undergraded at 1.8, it had the eye-appeal of a VG+ copy.
