Like selling off an entire set (minus one common) of the T213-3's I derived from the Southern Find in the 80's to Bill Mastro in the early 90's to obtain money to purchase other cards? The biggest mistake I ever made in the hobby. The cards were all EX or better, about 15 were overprint backs. I sold the entire set for less than the price one Ty Cobb in EX goes for 25 years later
