I wish somebody would hurry up and sell me a T220 Silver James J. Corbett in final production form.

I wish Jackie Robinson hadn't retired instead of playing for the Giants. He didn't need to do my team like that. I don't know why people like him.

I wish people had waited to inflate Willie Mays' card prices just a few more years so I could have picked up the ones I needed easier.

I wish Juan Marichal got more credit like Koufax and Gibson for being a great pitcher.

I wish Connie Mack had appeared in more card sets.
What about Roberto Clemente signing with the Giants instead of the Dodgers? Roberto wanted to play in New York City because of the large Puerto Rican population there. Instead the Dodgers shipped out to Montreal and he ended up in Pittsburgh. If he had known the Dodgers were going to do that, he would have definitely signed with the Giants instead.
