Biggest mistake... thinking the 50th group was too garish for anyone to want.
repechage,
Did you see the Ciocc w/ 50th Anniversary Gruppo on EBay last October? I bid on it, but was afraid to go too high because I bought an SLX Guerciotti w/CR the week before. I'm still kicking myself over that one.
