After 35-36 years collecting with a few less active periods there's a pretty long list of stuff I should have bought.

A drum at $200 - Second table at the show, just couldn't buy one card and walk out 5 minutes after getting there.

1912 world series pennant, small, maybe a foot long, red and white sewn felt. Not pointed, but one of the ones like a short flag with a v cut out of the end.
$100, I could have saved up as it lasted a while at that price, but I just never did.

Orr rookie, the USA test version. "only" $100. At the time that was enough to buy something like all the 60's and 70's regular issue hockey sets complete.

A boxful of the tiny Topps felt back football cards at $3 each. I still have no idea why I didn't buy at least one.

Maybe 7-8 Goudey Ruths. All at least VG. All handed to me by the place I was a regular at with a "it's $X you should buy it" Passed on all of them.

Those are the highlights, lowlights?

Of course there's the stacks of stuff that was cheap in the early 80's.
