I miss my '61 T-bird that had only 46,000 miles, owned it for 25 years, but no place to store it at my home in Summerhill.

All of my muscle cars, all of my old toys especially my Rockum-Sockum robot and my wood burning set.

My high school ring. I took it off while I was washing my hands at the high school I attended, and someone took it.

First year 67 Firebird 400
the only year with front quarter windows- the ones that 'air conditioned' you and were used for a grab bar.
Stylish, but the worst traction imaginable until we sandbagged the already tiny trunk.
Blue w/ black vinyl top (yuck to vinyl tops)

Back in the late 60's I saved up my pennies and bought a new Gibson J-45 acoustic guitar for $250. I played it for about 2 years and then joined (yet another) rock band and sold it to a buddy to buy a Fender Strat. Wish I still had the Gibson. A new one retails now for about $2500, and a vintage one like I had if it's in good condition is worth at least twice that. Plus it was the nicest playing guitar I ever owned. Sigh.............

My '66 Chevy Malibu 2-door hartop. Yellow with a black interior. I admired that car as a teen when our neighbor owned it. He traded it and two years later it showed up in a used car lot a couple of towns over. I bought it immediately. Never should have sold that car. I still have dreams that I kept it and wake up sad that I didn't.

A 1965 Buick Skylark Convertible. 4 speed with bucket seats. I have an old photo of one of my girlfriends washing it, can't remember if it was me or the car she liked best.

[QUOTE=eweissenbach;302263]1. My baseball card collection - I was a huge Mickey Mantle fan and had dozens of his cards - gave it to my nephew, and my sis ultimately sold in a garage sale.


Article in Sports Illustrated today. Honus Wagner baseball card, between 1909and 1911 was sold for $220,000 and with the 19.5% buyer's premium, $262,000.

For those of us who had old baseball cards, this is amazing that one card sold for so much.
