First of all welcome to the forum. This is a great first post/thread.
My only regret is selling my '25 Gehrig Exhibit to Hal Lewis for 10k around 15 yrs ago, a world record at the time. I bought it raw in a Mastro Auction where they said it was NRMT-MT for around $2750. ....I had it graded and it was a 5.5 and eventually I believe it got bumped to a 6. Ouch. No regrets otherwise....

I was wondering if other collectors had sold cards over the years that they now regret not having - and probably can't replace - and what those cards were.

For me, my top 3 that I sold and miss are:
• N172 Old Judge Hoss Radbourn
• N300 Mayo's Kid Nichols
• 1933 Goudey Ruth (red background)
