Meanwhile, I have made a ton of mistakes. Mistakes can be assets if you learn from them. Two general mistakes I have made over the years is (1) equating rarity with value- just because something is rare does NOT mean it’s valuable or desirable, and (2) hoarding rare items thinking I can corner the market, only to lose money when I realized that without me as a buyer/bidder, the rare items aren’t worth nearly as much, especially when I didnt have the patience to sell them over a longer period.

I think we all have put our foot in our mouth at times. Glad you are good with your post on the thread I linked. Not sure what you said but I agree with you 100% on the mistakes. Done both of those more than once. I am not in your income bracket (at least I don't think I am) but it is all relative.
