I've never dwelled on any of the stuff I've lost out on but initially it does sting a little. 2 of the bigger things I didn't bid higher on were both in smaller online auctions within the past 5 years. One was a 1950s Yogi Berra gamer jersey that sold for a fraction of what it would have in a large auction house. The other was a beautiful Honus Wagner pro model decal gamer that matched his specs. I really wish I would have at least hit the bid button a few more time on this last one but I thought at that price, low 5 figures, there must be something wrong with it. Was it somehow fake? Has it been altered in some way? The lower prices on these items actually scared me from bidding more in a backwards sort of way. Someone got a steal or got duped. I really don't know.

I honestly can't put a finger on anything I can say I overpaid for. I'm sure there are numerous items in my collection that wouldn't resell for more than what I paid for them so in that sense I guess I overpaid lol. On the other hand I enjoy everything I buy so it really doesn't matter much
