I've passed up a few baseball things, probably more than I can think of. Stuff was much cheaper late 70's-early 80's.
The 1912 Red Sox World Series pennant sticks in my mind.
I was underbidder on Ebay for a bicycle built for Lothar Thoms that was intended for the 1984 Olympics. Being from East Germany he didn't compete. I probably bid around 500 as it was just the frame and in pretty rough shape.
It's been restored, and has changed hands two or three times since, most recently for 13,000.
