When I was building my desert shield set back in 2006/2007, I came across a guy who had a Chipper PSA 10 in his PC. After getting to know him and buying a few dozen 9's off him, he eventually offered me the Chipper 10 for $4,000. That was definitely higher than any had sold for previously...but I'd never seen one on Ebay etc. I passed...It's probably a $15,000 card now. Worse yet, I needed it for several of my registry sets and would have loved having it, regardless of value.
Always buying Bobby Cox inserts. PM me.
Back in the late 90s, I had a chance to buy a PSA 8 52T Mantle for around $6,000. My parents thought it was nuts and wouldn't let me tap into my college tuition account. FML.

I passes on a 1933 Goudey Lou Gehrig at a show for $1,400. I had the money but decided to wait. That card now is about $3,000.
PSA 9 1964 George Best sold for $2,400 a little over a year ago. Thought about it and passed. The card would sell for more than 10 times that amount today.
~$100 52 T Mantles in the 80s...sigh. The shop I used to go to had a few in the case.
Oh man. That’s rough. PWCC has one over 400k at the moment. You have a lot of other cool cards in your collection?
Why is that? What’s the story behind the card? Thx!
A full mint 1960 Topps baseball series 1 wax box for 3500.00. I offered 3,000.00
86 fleer Jordan bgs 8 for 1200.
Oh well.
About 27 years ago I was 21 and recently married with a mortgage. I barely had 2 pennies to rub together. A guy at a card show offered me his 1911 C55 hockey set in VG/EX to EX/MT for $2700 He even said I can make payments over 6 months. Wifey said NO! UGH!!!!
This post is way better with a scotch
Another was a teletrade auction.
SGC 92 T205 Ty Cobb went for like 4000.00 maybe if I remember correctly. I was the under bidder
A 1959 Mickey Mantle psa-8 (PWCC-E) for $4250 in the PWCC Vault...a couple weeks later goes to PWCC Auction and sells for $8300+!
A million times
Too many times to count. Looking back, one of the all-timers was a signed 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle at my LCS in the early 80's for $800. I was about 12 years old and about $700 short. My dad didn't think I could mow enough lawns over the summer to pay him back. Ugh!
All the time. But the most recent regret helps me forget the previous one. Hand me an Ultra @Horse

Wait a 52 topps mickey mantle was really under $1k in the 80's? Wow I always thought that card was always out of price even back then. What drove the price so high was it after mantle dead in 95?
I had a chance to buy a Jordan rookie, raw, for $150 around 1990. I think I actually laughed when I saw the price and told the guy he was nuts. Im Stupid
Jesus Christ. I’m tearing up....

I kick myself almost daily for not buying a 1925 Lou Gehrig Exhibit RC when they were affordable.
Sets of 1986-87 Fleer basketball for $15.
1989 Score Football boxes for $7.
T206’s, stacks of them for $5-20. The $20 ones were Cobbs and HOFer’s.
Shall I go on or hide all the sharp objects in the house?

I regret not buying about 10 Brady Championship tickets 20 years ago...
the crazy thing is i am a Patriots fan since 1989 and LOVE them. I actually resented Brady at the beginning because i didnt think Bledsoe deserved to loose his starting spot due to injury. boy was I wrong. that resentment didnt last too long after the first SB though.
George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.
Yes. back in the mid 1980's a T3 Cobb in nrmt+ condition for $1,500.00. Makes me sick to think abut it now.
