What's the one vintage card you really wish you had back?

I've only ever sold one card, and I regret it terribly.

1939 signed Joe DiMaggio play ball. I had 2, so I flipped one to help pay for some others.

In retrospect, having both of them was so much cooler, knowing there's not even a handful of them out there.

Not much for prewar, as I rarely sell any. I have mild pangs ocasionally with the ones I have sold, but they all went to really good collections so it's fine.

Postwar I do miss the 48 Bowman set I put together for very little with most cards being poor. Sold it to pay for a ski trip.

The ones I really miss were a group of 76 Hostess proofs. Yellow and green instead of red and blue, reversed negatives, numbers over 150, screened and probably cropped differently. I traded a 74 McCovey washington for about 20 of them, and promptly traded half to a local dealer for another McCovey washington. I've never seen any others.

If any of you have one I wouldn't mind seeing it.
