Toronto 98 poster and the soccer jersey to go with it. Too much money at the time - I was 16.
I ordered a Europe jersey online last year, but its not the same. Blue/grey - oh, and it doesnt fit because it shrunk in the wash from 10 years ago. It would fit a L person perfectly if anyone wants one (originally XL).

God, too many to name them all. Probly the one I remember most is the 2000 Holland poster with the glow in the dark spaceman/gorillas. It was up on a sale for aaaages on bigpopposters for $30, and I kept putting it off, putting it off....then it came off sale. I was gonna combo up with a cool basketball player Jack Johnson and a Finn Bros, but twas but a poor uni student back then.
A lot of people have been saying Ben. Hall vinyl. I was lucky enough to get one, but later that year I was heading to Europe for an extended holiday and was short on $$, so I flipped it off for a few hundred. No regrets, had a blast that I couldn't have had without the extra $.
And kind of related...I was at the 98 Wellington show (still searching for a boot) and bought a poster with no appreciation. It got thumb-tacked, blu-tacked, taped, laminated, all sorts of atrocities happened to that poor poster. My other great regret.
There are still a lot of items i would love to have in my collection:

The Red AC poster is the one I missed.
Had the pink from the night before and had a chance to buy the red but I thought it was the same poster from the previous night- I wanted to give others a chance at it since I already had one from the night before.
Oh well... Someone has a nice poster but I got to be there back to back nights... Ace Frehley I win. No regrets.

The Toronto 2009 poster - that was gorgeous. I told myself - 'you have enough posters', despite the fact I only own 6 or so. Now I wish I got that one.
