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...

T201
I passed on a T201 miscut that showed 4 players almost equally on the front, back in 2007-ish. It did not look like printers scrap or a test cut....it looked just like a severaly miscut card.
I have never seen a 4 player miscut card before. I couldn't justifying paying so much for a severly miscut card....and have never seen one since. Z Wheat

Around 2002, I found two 1949 Leafs in a $5 box: Luke Appling and Dom DiMaggio. Bought the Appling because I'm a sucker for HOFers. Upon returning home, I discovered DiMaggio was the hideously rare short-print. Oops.

So many I can't even begin to recount them; 35 years of collecting will do that to you...Dumbest maneuver I can recall right now:
When Cobb checks hit the market in quantity they were selling for $50 each. I remember passing on them but thinking that I should probably buy a few.

Like you Adam, so many I can't even remember them all. But the main one that comes to mind is not prewar. It's the 1952 Topps Mantle. I had a chance to buy one from a doctor in town that was selling his whole childhood collection. He had two, and they both sparkled. He wanted $900 each, your choice. The 1952 Mantle had earlier hit a high of around $3K and then had dropped to back around $1K. I thought "there's no way that card will return to those levels!" Well, of course I was wrong. I did buy a beautiful 1953 Topps Roy Campanella from him, but I've kicked myself ever since for not taking the chance.
