Minor regret compared to the wonderful examples shared above, especially as mine is one based on greed, but my biggest regret is not selling my vintage autograph collection sooner. So many times I considered it, and even had my finger on the send key with inquiries to some of the leading vintage dealers at that time. But never could. Guess the desire to pursue the hunt was still alive. Afew years later, finally followed through although taking a significant haircut in sales proceeds. I would imagine many other collectors and dealers alike may have a similar regret regarding a specific item or collection. But otherwise, I have no regret in having sold my collection as it was time to move on, and possibly freed loved ones from having do so in my absence, with absolutely no knowledge of who to approach or what a fair price might be for the collection.
