What's the one vintage card you really wish you had back?

[CMIZ5290]

Mainly based on what you sold it for, versus what it's value is now..... Mine is a 1915 cracker jack joe jackson psa 8oc.... A close second, but not pre-war, was an sgc 92 1953 topps mantle.

Not prewar but I sold my 1968 Roberto Clemente in Mt condition last year. I wish I hadn't as it was the first "vintage " card I ever bought back when I was a kid. It was in a local card shop in a side case inside of a box that was marked "any card $2.00" I had seen the case in there many times before but when I finally asked to see what was in it I found the Clemente. Once I saw it I asked the shop owner if he really only wanted $2 bucks for it. He smiled and said that card was in there for a few years and he was waiting to see who would finnally find it. $2 Bucks, not bad. Not really sure why I sold it now.

1933 Goudey #41 Gus Mancuso. This was the very first pre-war card I purchased at a local (big at the time) card show in Dallas in the 1970s for $5. It was in fair-good condition with a stain in the corner. Wish I still had it.

1914 Baltimore News Schedule card Babe Ruth, we had 2 and I would kill to have just 1 back!

Not dad's fault, I was chasing skirts instead of paying attention to my collection.

Dan, that is sad.

I'm not going to mention the ones I miss - invariably when I do, the current owner posts a scan and the post-sale cognitive dissonance thing kicks in all over again.

Not nice by him Scott! Yes that would stink! To see the cards again would make me even more sick, ugh!
