Default everybody enjoys posting thier best pickup, what about the one you were taken on the worst

Dumb mistake on my part. About 25 years ago I had a sheet of 8 cards. I don't remember them all, but they did include a 53 Mays, 54 Aaron, 52 Banks and the rest were All-Stars from 52-55 (no Mantle though). I remember being disappointed with the 54 Aaron since it was badly off-centered - not knowing about the way they were designed. I went to a big show just after I heard someone say that the 71 Topps were the "next big thing". Someone at the show had a bunch (not a dealer), maybe 300 of them, and I traded straight up. I misunderstood him and he wanted to trade them for just one card, but I gave him the whole sheet.

That one still haunts me.
