Best decisions/biggest regrets as autograph collectors?

Thanks for your input. I was sure there was at least a campy or 2!

I also felt people may have remembered billy meyer from the Rockwell painting, and at least 3 have been graded by PSA. He was the one card I was told from the onset "did not exist"

Meyer was a great signer, both IP and TTM, and had 5 years to sign the card.

I've noticed more than once that the cards for any set that "do not exist" often don't seem to be the players who died shortly after the card was produced (until a copy or two is rediscovered)! There are more Bickfords out there from various sets than one might imagine. The 1956 Topps Dixie Howell is a good case in point as well, although the 1957 & 1958 cards are far tougher. Depending on the set in question, guys like Ellis Kinder and Vern Stephens seem somewhat plentiful relative to their death dates. They both died in '68, but I'd venture the majority of the cards they did sign were autographed during their careers as opposed to later on.
