Boomerang Cards?

When I sold out of virtually everything and looked to get a few of my favorites back, I checked eBay only to find one of the cards I wanted was gone. I reached out to the buyer and even with a generous offer, we couldn't get a deal done. A month or so later, it was on eBay at auction with a different seller, and I was able to secure it! It took three different sellers, but eventually it came back to me 
Have you ever had a boomerang card before? A card that you picked up, sold/traded away and came back to you? What was it, and does the back story enhance the enjoyment you have of it?

1955 Topps Jackie Robinson. Bought it from my father when it was raw in the mid 80's as a kid. Had it slabbed by PSA few years later. Came back a PSA 7. Cracked it, resubmitted and it came back an 8. Held the card until 1999 when I needed some cash and sold it to a friend who was a non baseball fan and non collector for $350....told him it would be a good investment. After my dad passed a year and a half ago, getting it back was a big priority to me. We finally struck a deal for it last summer and after 18 years it is back in my possession where it will remain. Means more to me than any card I own and I'm thankful for my friend that held onto it for so long.
