Like you Adam, so many I can't even remember them all. But the main one that comes to mind is not prewar. It's the 1952 Topps Mantle. I had a chance to buy one from a doctor in town that was selling his whole childhood collection. He had two, and they both sparkled. He wanted $900 each, your choice. The 1952 Mantle had earlier hit a high of around $3K and then had dropped to back around $1K. I thought "there's no way that card will return to those levels!" Well, of course I was wrong. I did buy a beautiful 1953 Topps Roy Campanella from him, but I've kicked myself ever since for not taking the chance.
