In fact, if you didn't have a card that was valued at even 10K during the pandemic hike, then you were perhaps collecting the wrong thing lol. Seriously though, looking back, I wish I would have picked these up but the reality also is that I didn't have the funds to purchase most even back then unless I was willing to sell some stuff and the stuff I did sell went towards other cards in my collection. I really like my small collection today so I cant complain as I realize I cant buy everything I want. I am happy with what I have and staying debt free is perfectly fine with me.
1954 Topps Hank Aaron RC PSA 8 10K (I had the chance to purchase one)
1981 Topps Joe Montana PSA 10. At 10K prices.
1982 Cal Ripken Traded when they were about $1,200. This card is still do-able today but they have begun increasing in price again. I believe they are around 7K today but they were even much higher during the spike.
1986 Fleer Jordan PSA 9 at $1,100 all day and the PSA 10's when they were just hitting 10K back around 2013/14. I thought 10K was a crazy amount of money.
2000 Topps Brady Chrome PSA 10 were at about $1000 back around 2016/17.
2003 Topps Chrome Refractor Lebron PSA 10 were at about 7K around 2017. Stupid me is all I can say.
2009 Bowman Chrome Refractor Mike Trout PSA 10 was at 17K on eBay back in late 2019. The last one I remember seeing sold at about 58K.
