Like some have said, there are a lot of cards that I wished I chased in the 80s instead of spending my disposable income on other things. The one that really stands out was not buying a 1952 Topps Mid+High run from the Rosen find. I was finishing my t206 set and already had a decent Ex-Mt 1952 Topps set. I never realized how addicted the hobby would become to numbers on a slab. 3k for Mantles that are now pushing a million dollars in a PSA 8 slab.
The other more recent one was a card that I was actively trying to buy off of eBay, an Exquisite LeBron James RPA /99. I kept getting sniped for under 2k. If ever there was a card I should have just over paid for, that is it. It is now a million dollar card.
