Probably the one that stands out the most is paying $900 for a PSA2 t206 Cobb green portrait in 2003 because it was the last card I needed for my set. Now it is worth more than that, and it is a real nice 2, could probably get a 2.5 under the new system, but back then it was not a $900 card. More like $650-700, but I was too anxious to finish the set and that was the only reasonable one I could find for sale that day. All the others were too low grade, too high or they were Ebay auctions that weren't ending for 5-7 days. Instead of waiting, I paid the extra and got it shipped next day(seller threw that in)
