That's a great one!

As for the OP, which I was late to read:

Vintage Baseball Cards I Have Regretted Not Buying When Affordable

These were right there for the taking, and I had the money, but I passed, and now I can't afford them or it would put a real financial hurt on me to get a decent one:

Congrats on a great pickup, Don!

When I read the initial post, I knew you were already considering a really important aspect:

>>> "It doesn’t impact my ability to pay for any current or future bills."

Now that you have the card in hand, I'm sure you're happy to have it as a collection cornerstone.

Cheers,
Steve

It’s all relative. I have some low grade E121-120 Ruth cards that I bought maybe 15 years ago for $500 and cards in the same condition are listed at $8000 to $10000 now on eBay. No way would I have ever thought these cards would be worth that kind of money. If it is something more mainstream like the Ruth cards, it will probably go up in value so consider it an investment.
