warshawlawI've screwed up a few deals in my time; mostly I block them out of my mind, but here are the ones I can recall:
1. Traded a 1964 Mays for a 1966 Cepeda (hey, I was a gullible kid)
2. Ty Cobb signed checks for $50 each. Waaay back when they first hit the hobby in bulk.
3. Basketball cards: I too turned down Jordans in bulk. I also passed on a screaming set of 1961-62 Fleers for $300.
4. I traded a box (800 count) of 1960-1970 football stars for a couple of minor star 1941 play balls. I still hate Whitlow Wyatt to this day.
5. I accidentally gave away some 1952 Topps high numbers in a commons box I was selling.
6. My 1954 Aaron--I got a screamer of a card for $25, felt really smart when I sold it several years later for $125, and then ate %^*% when I repurchased it for $1,300.
