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.

It's never too late to make an offer...

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...

These don't keep me up at night, but I didn't see either of these until after the fact. Since I collect Bugs Raymond stuff and have the T205, T206, T202, T204, T3, M116 Sporting Life, S74 Silk, Colgan Chip, Sporting Life Supplement, and Police Gazette Supplement, these two would have fit right in. Oh well...

In May REA had a Lajoie Novelty Cutlery on the docket. Medical concerns kept me out of the bidding. I could easily have beat the $900+ bid. Now the same card is being offered at $2995.

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