What piece do you regret selling/trading?

The Altrock/Schacht was used for an R312 and an R313 premium, and the Shacht solo was used for I think a Goudey Wide Pen premium, but the smaller size of those do not do the photos justice. I have few real regrets in the "catch and release" way I deal with most collectibles, but giving those up is top of the list for now. *sigh*

Probably a batch of 52 Rose Co. Postcards (51 different) from a few years back. They are beautiful.

Sold this Yankee stadium seat to a friend (who also is a member here) 3 years ago.
Even though its in good hands, I regret the sale, sometimes bills trump cards/collectibles.

I had a deal with an acquaintance to buy a Rollie fingers As jersey. I'd given him about 20% down, and had the jersey in hand. Then a show came up and he wanted it back so he could get it signed saying Fingers was his favorite.

Gave the jersey back, got the deposit back. He got it signed and sold it about 10 minutes later for a lot more than our deal had been for.

That's one of the few times something like that bothered me, probably because I'd comitted to buying it and backed out as a favor. On the other hand, he would bet me on our pool games and minigolf with the loser buying all the nights beer and always lost(remarkable, as I'm a terrible pool player and only average at minigolf) so It probably worked out somehow.
