Thank you - your notes are interestingly as well. I didn't buy any reprints but the biggest mistake sort of along those lines is buying a few that were trimmed that weren't advertised as such.

Card I bid on the most and lost out on was probably Mordecai Brown or Frank Chance red portraits. Those just took me a while to get within what I wanted to pay.

Didn't make any trades but bought probably 100+ cards through the B/S/T. Was fortunate to not have a single bad deal.

- Reprints mistakenly bought: 1 - Ed Foster. It wasn't even a good reprint, I just didn't look at the scan closely.
- Card I bid the most times on before I won it: Ray Ryan - I was stubborn and wouldn't spend more than $30 on it and went a couple years of semi-active bidding before I got it.
- Number of times screwed in trades: twice, once on the old board (anyone remember Brandon Rusnak?), once here (I think the guy may have died, he just disappeared from the board, and had been active prior... was just a couple of beater dupes)
- Card that I thought I owned for years, but did not: Dahlen, Brooklyn. The Boston version must have tricked me one day...
