Every so often we see threads asking what cards do you regret passing on, so lets change that around. What cards or deals are you glad you passed on?
A few years ago at one of the Philly Shows a dealer had a W554 Gehrig that I was interested in when I just starting on the set. I wanted to make a trade, but in the end the dealer wanted around $2k in trade including a few D304s and a few caramels including my E92 Nadja Miller. I'm glad I didn't do the deal as the Miller card is now part of Nadja set and another has not come up for sale since. I've since bought a copy of the Gehrig, but still thankful I didn't make that trade.

I was underbidder on a whole bunch of the signed T206 cards that turned out to be fake. I have since tried to move on entirely from autographs.

There was one card I remember seeing in a collection and telling the owner that if he ever wanted to sell it, please let me make an offer. He consigned it to auction instead and I ended up owning it for half of what I would have offered him directly.

Not vintage but many years ago I went into a dealers shop and he had a 1968 Nolan Ryan rookie card for sale. He wanted $1000. I told him I would take it if he paid the sales tax. He wouldn't do that so I didn't buy it. Since I am a Cubs guy and just wanted it to have it, I am glad I didn't buy it since that money has been spent on vintage Cubs since then.
