I saw where Dave Levin had an e90-2 Honus Wagner SGC 10 for sale, that had a great front, but a little paper loss on the back. I was hoping to purchase it after the holidays once I had some extra cash, but he sold the card about 2 weeks ago. Bummer.

Actually very happy with what I won in '06, and not too disappointed in what I lost. Sniping all the way, I've won cards for less than half (even less than 1/3) my set snipe. And the snipes I lost were so far off, I get a good chuckle ....

The only one from this year that I desperately wanted but lost out on was an ebay auction of a Cobb E102 in PSA 5. I was the underbidder of this pop 4 card (only 1 higher in 6). I was aghast as this is, in my view, Cobb's rookie card. Cobb is one of my favorite all-time players (probably top 3-4). Anyway, I offered the winner 2K more than what he won the card for as I wasn't sure one in this grade would come up again anytime soon. The owner of the card turned me down...and about three months later the card in the same grade came up in Mastro's auction. I couldn't believe my good fortune. I won the card and paid $3500 less than what I had offered the previous winner for it. My luck isn't always this good, by the way.

The ghosts of Christmas Past- Being sniped on ebay by Keith Olberman on a nice E90-1 Joe Jackson several years ago and losing by less thana dollar. This remains the only card I am missing from the set.

Not a card but I was the underbidder on Eddie Cicotte's personal scrapbook a couple of months ago. The winner blew me away but I really would like another chance on that one.

I still think about occasionally the T206 Red Hindu SGC 20 Tannehill I lost on eBay a month or two ago. I know another Red Hindu T206 will come along in my price range, but the waiting.....is killing me! The card sold for around $250; I had my bid setup and ready to go, but I bid too late (about 2 seconds) and lost it. It was not a total loss, because I got a lenox T206 from the same seller in a later auction.

Bid on but didn't win the Babe Ruth RC in the June Sothebys Auction...:-(Oh well......although not in the past year, my biggest regret/loss of all time was not buying the T210 Jackson that I located about 7-8 years ago.......probably GD-VGish.....under $10K...kick myself in the butt everytime I get in and out of the shower for that blunder

I bid $250 on a t206 Cobb red port on ebay that was pretty rough and had some paper stuck to the back. I eventually lost it by 1 damn cent. There was a couple seconds left to bid, so I tried to bid one more time but my stupid computer lagged out i guess because the screen was still trying to load !!!

Add all the auctions that have ended early to the ones that got away. I painfully remember a large group of T206s from the D.C area that were on Ebay back in October. I had talked to the seller a few times on the phone and thought I had made it clear that I was prepared to bid high. Anyway about an hour or so before the end of the auction suddenly it ended early to sell to the highest bidder (about $2000.00 less than my snipe)

I was the third underbidder on a lot of 4 E222 AWH Caramel cards along with various T206 cards including Cobb, Johnson, etc. I thought $8,500 was a lock. I was wrong. David Levin won them and still has them on his site. It was nice getting to hold them all at the National, they're beautiful cards.

It was 32 years worth of remorse ago. A T-206 Wagner, F-G, for $600. My wife encouraged me to buy it, but it was more than a month's salary right after 9 years of college, and I didn't think I'd ever be able to pay back a bank loan to buy it. Needless to say, one now is considerably more than one month's salary!

if i would have spent $$$ on pre-war cards back in the 80's instead of "new prouduct" i could retire now a rich man. i'll bet there are a lot of you out there who can make this claim also.
