The One That Got Away

For the longest time a guy had a severly miscut Cobb T206 that had about half of two portraits on it at the White Plains Shows. Like a head above a head. It was always there. I can't remember what he was asking for it, but I remember thinking, who would ever buy that card?

What a mistake.

Which Cobb? Was it the Green Cobb?
If so, I'm pretty sure that I know where it ended up.

Can't remember if it was Red or Green. Definitely one of the portraits. I walked past it a thousand times.

I'm pretty sure that's the card. I wish I could remember what he was asking but I really don't think I ever even asked.

My near miss was not a card but a pair of Spalding trophies, pitcher and catcher that I found at an antique shop in late May 1996. I remember the date because my wife and I were on a short vacation to celebrate our anniversary. That is also the reason that I didn't spend $500 on each trophy. She was standing next to me at the time. Of course, now every time I see one sell at auction I can point it out to her. Remember those trophies you wouldn't let me buy? They are now worth...

I'd like to make a stronger offer, but I've got my daughter's wedding to pay for. In 15-20 years.

I passed on a VG T206 Magie error card that was selling for about $800.00 at the SF Moscone Show many moons ago... I thought about pulling the trigger on it and didn't... -_-
