The one that got away--what's yours?
I was sifting through some unorganized clutter in my scan folder and stumbled across an auction from 7 1/2 years ago that still haunts me. I had not been collecting m101s all that long and was focusing on m101-4, so I, like everyone else, let this one go without a bid:
 Here's a scan of the card in that auction:  That very same card, a scarce shortprint, sold for $8000.00 last October in the Legendary Auction. A $90 investment in 2003 would have returned nearly 90 fold. Excuse me while I go cry some more. Anybody else have a horror story?

Yeah, way too many.
T206 drum in VG I saw at the shriners show for 250. I had the money, but didn't want to walk in buy one card and leave. Probably 4 or 5 Ruth or Gehrig Goudeys in vg-ex. When I was hanging out at halls after school they'd hand me the cards and tell me I should buy them. Usually they were $100. I really should have bought one. Same with a Red Sox 1912 WS pennant $100! I've never seen another. Instead I spent my savings on a couple semesters of college. I'm still friends with the guys I met there, so it all worked out for the better  Steve B

I was just thinking about this yesterday. What I most regret is not buying a T206 Wagner when I could have afforded one. Within a year after I started working I'd saved enough to have bought one for what they were going for at the time. Unfortunately, I bought a lot of stupid crap instead--condo, furniture, car.

Still kicking myself for this blunder........
In the late 90s I located and could have bought a T210-8 Joe Jackson for under $10K in probably Gd-VG or so condition.....
 ..............If I had done my homework and found it was one of only a handful known I would have bought it.......Oh well, Life goes on......with a swift kick in the "" every time I get in and out of the shower

Hello everyone! First post but been lurking for a while. Back in 2000 when I was really into T206s I was offered a PSA 3 Plank for 15k but passed so I could buy the other two Cobbs's I needed to have all 4 in PSA 6..
