Default Worst hobby decision

Back in the mid-90's one of the auction houses (before all the catalogues became glossy color behemoths) auctioned a lower grade near set of the Pattersons. I believe I was the underbidder on this as well as a D304 near set (described as being in wretched condition). I believe they both went under $1000. As the auction was nearing its close, I decided to drop out of both of these lots and pursue and win a complete set of 1955 Bowman football cards.

I don't even collect football cards, and just kept a few. The Bowmans are cool, but they sure remind me of my unfortunate choice every time I look at them.
