*sigh*
I have told this story a few times...at the National in Anaheim in I think '96 (the same year they showed off the PSA Gretzky Wagner...which is a whole other story from that same National)...I was standing near Kit Young's table and was handed a deck of playing cards and told that they were probably one of a kind. I asked if I could rifle through them and write down all the Phillies in the deck. Carefully opened the deck and wrote down all the Phillies on the back of my wantlist at the time and handed the deck back. I was told I could have several of the Phillies at $100 or so apiece. I turned it down.
The deck was the Allegheny card deck. This is the one purchase that haunts me constantly. I still hope to buy one someday but alas...

PS At least I still have that old wantlist with the cards written on the back as a reminder.
