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.

Adam- I remember Cobb checks going for $18.00 in the old THE TRADER SPEAKS, I passed because I didn't have $18.00 in the mid-70s most of the time!

A couple of times I have hit a Buy it Now on ebay and someone purchased the item in the meantime between me thinking to hit the button and actually hitting it. That kind of sucks.....
I won 1 of these 2 Ruth cards (batting) as my best offer was accepted on ebay at the same exact time another board member hit the Buy It Now on it. I was fortunate on that one....
