Yeah, after a bunch of years the list of stuff I used to regret not buying is really long. I say used to, because I gave up letting it bug me a few years ago.
I remember the dealer I hung out at buying a nice 52 Mantle for something like 900 which may have been a record at the time? I could have had a fairly average one then for around 3-500.
The stuff that still bugs me wouldn't be as expensive today,(Mostly) but just isn't around anywhere. Fortunately it's a handful of stuff and would have been a major risk for me to buy at the time. - 1912 RedSox ws pennant for 100, A supposed 66 Hemi charger largely apart but with a 440 for maybe 5-600 maybe less. Ok that one would be more than the Mantle restored, but at the time I didn't know how to tell from just the body and the VIN tags were off and stored as the car was sort of being parted/junked. I was buying the windshield and the guy offered me the whole car.
