I haven't sold much that's recognizable.

A handful of rare and interesting cards I traded away in the late 70's I wouldn't mind seeing again or having a shot at buying them back.

What's cooler to me is having stuff bought for a museum or public display.
I had a batch of china from statler hotels, and one buyer bought all of it, odd since reatauraunt china collectors don't usually go for more than a placesetting, maybe 4. This was about 75 pieces. The buyer was a hotel manager of a former Statler hotel that was being renovated. Part of the renovation was a huge lobby display of Statler memorabilia. Including a whole bunch of china some guy in Ma rescued from a back corner of an antique shop that was closing.

I sold a few other pieces to small museums, maybe 5 in all. The only other one I recall was the Experience music project in Seattle, who bought a few indie 45's
