Mine would be a boxed card game called "All Star Card Base Ball" that I purchased for $60 at a toy show back in 1988. The box had a little wear, but all 54 playing cards were in great shape. It was the complete Polo Grounds set (WG4)...Jackson, Wagner, Cobb, Johnson, Mathewson, McGraw, Lajoie, etc. At the time, there wasn't a lot of interest in them and I wound up selling them for around $3,000. The regret is not over upside value (REA sold a similar set last year for about $12,000)...just the missed opportunity to own a high-grade complete set from 1914 without any pain!
