Remorse

REMORSE! I have some!

Remorse over selling my childhood collection to buy a beat up 77' camaro

Remorse over trying to "invest" in baseball cards...it hasn't worked terribly well overall. Buying the cards I like has worked out much better!

Opportunity lost remorse. Not often, but occasionally. About 3-4 years ago I had to sell a card to buy a new object of affection. It took longer than I expected for the card to sell. When it did, I missed purchasing my "want" by 1 day! (a PSA authenticated b/w photo of Ernie Lombardi (signed) and Joltin' Joe at the 1939 WS). Then I had neither my previous card or my new desire.

Like a few others have mentioned, I have less regret over items I’ve bought than on items I didn’t dig deeper on. When I started my project, one of the high numbers was listed at a price that I thought the seller was California Dreaming at. It sold (this was in late 2014) and I haven’t seen another since. If I could get a mulligan on that one I’d take it in a heartbeat. On the other hand, there have been some cards I was outbid on that later (sometimes days, sometimes years) I was able to snag a better looking one for less.

How about NOT PULLING THE TRIGGER IMMEDIATELY remorse.

I was at a card show Saturday, and I saw two cards I liked and wanted at one dealers table. I figured let me walk around a little and see what else is in the room. Nothing else, so I went back to the dealer.

I was 10 feet from his table when someone else walked up, beating me there by a few seconds, and of course he bought the two cards I wanted!!!

I should know from experience to buy when you see something you want and its priced right, because its so easy to lose it later as I did!!

Remorse for not purchasing a 1956 Topps PSA 4 Mantle that was offered to me at a very reasonable price!
I hemmed and hawed too long so the seller, rightfully, sold it before I had made up my mind. I was given more than enough time but I just couldn't pull the trigger based on the U.S./CDN exchange rate at the time and the fact that I struggled with putting that money towards my 52 Topps collection.

Like a fool, I torture myself by looking at it occasionally.
