If only you could have these 5 cards back again

I guess I have to put T206 Wagner at the top of my list. You can see and read about it here:

But my absolute favorites were Roberts, Konstanty and Stanky from the 1951 Topps Current All Stars

And more recently the 1961 ( though really 1963) Topps Dice card of Mickey Mantle

What an incredible story

I know this thread is painful to some, but I can't even fathom some of the cards being posted and talking about. Can't even imagine what the Wild West of this hobby was like back in the day.

Reading the story about the Wagner has me thinking about Mike Aronstein and his store that used to exist up in Cooperstown. A lot of fond memories involving that place.

Amazing story, Fred. IF we only knew....

and I think there are probably a few more board members that sold a Wags a bit too early also.

1952 Topps Mantle PSA 1
T206 Cobb red VG/EX
complete set of 1969 Topps baseball in NM/MT
1941 Play Ball Joe DiMaggio VG/EX
Quite a few 1933 Goudey Ruths (lower grade)

I wish I had every card back that I have sold. I have never regretted buying a card, but I have frequently regretted selling.

Here's my Hall of Shame: a 1933 Babe Ruth, a 1952 Topps Jackie Robinson, a 1952 Topps Willie Mays, a 1952 Topps Mickey Mantle and a 1934 Goudey Lou Gehrig. I acquired all of them as a teenager, and sold them all by the time I was 18.

Mine are relatively small potatoes

T206 Elberfeld Portrait - Washington
1955 Bowman near set autographed (I was missing about 22 and got disillusioned when missed pulling the trigger to get Mantle)
1955 Topps Koufax
1963 Topps Mantle
1977 Chicago Tribune Chicago White Sox Scrapbook Jorge Orta

Oh so many! If I had them all back I would be retired and living on a beach somewhere right now LOL

1952 Topps Mantle
e95 complete set
Boston Store Walter Johnson SGC 50
PSA 7 Koufax rookie
both of my t206 Walter Johnson Hindu back portraits

* for extra credit - my run of Mathewson t206 backs
