What was it worth then ? And now

In the late 80's I passed on a very nice Gehrig for 500, and a framed and matted Cobb check (with my exact B-day on it) for 200. Both times it was all the money I had with me and there were a lot of other things I wanted. Wish I had purchased both.

I purchased a Mint cobb check matted and framed piece with my exact birthday on it a few yeas back and I still love it to this day...1150 is what I paid.

Yep, of all the things I've missed out on, that one is the one that still eats at me. Unfortunately for me, it was like one of the first things I saw, and by the time I got to the end of the hall (it was a real big show) I went back and it was gone. Should have just purchased it and called it a day, but I didn't.
