Well, my mistake goes way back to the mid 1980's. I just moved to Denver and got my finances straightened out so started collecting again. I found a small shop and became friends with the owner, would hang out on Saturdays and even watch the shop for him at times. I had numerous chances to get stuff inexpensively. However, since I was a Cub collector and just getting back into collecting, I passed on a ton on 1952's. I bought only the Cubs. They were all in great condition, not had them graded but probably would come back at least an 8. I also passed on Dan-Dee's and lots of other stuff because they weren't Cubs. I also took trips around the southwest stopping at sports shops but again, only looked for Cubs. However, I did get a lot of Cubs stuff.
