A number of years ago I bought some Pappy Van Winkle in Bardstown, KY . . . the bourbon capital of the world!!!
About 3 years ago, one of the boys from the Crab Shack burst into my office to tell me that he had just heard on the radio that Pappy 23 was selling for $7,000 per bottle.
He asked if I knew where mine was. We checked my liquor stashes and found a bottle of Pappy 23 that I had bought for $265.
This was all very exciting. . . at first. . . until I noticed that I had opened the bottle to try it out.
Apparently, I wasn't in love with it, so I stuck it on a shelf and forgot about it.
Opening the bottle killed the collector value!
I did note that you can sell the empty bottles on eBay for around $400! So, once I drink the rest of the P23 I can still make a profit!
But wait! There's, a surprise ending!
A few days later, the Crab Shacker who had told me of my impending fortune rifled through all of my other liquor stashes and found an unopened bottle of both the Pappy 23 and the Pappy 12! I put those 2 in the safe where they still reside to this day.
Let's NOT drink the Pappy!!!

Not buying Bitcoin when it was less than a dollar back around 2010-2011.
I do too, but it's never on purpose!!!. . . I destroy every bottle I finish
I had a PSG1 I paid $7,500.00 for and sold it a year and a half later for $12,500.00water today . . . . Just plain, old, unflavored water.
As I opened the bottle I had a flashback to nearly 50 years ago.
Back then, I was approached by a guy who had tested our well water and he told me that he had NEVER seen water this clean in his many years of testing water for impurities!
He asked if I would be interested in helping him to bottle it for resale.
I was 17 years old at the time and pretty much knew everything.
I couldn't stop laughing at the idea of selling "Bottled Water".
I explained to him that the idea was moronic and that nobody would ever buy "bottled water"!
"What an idiot", I thought . . .
Hmmm . . . Who's the idiot now? . . . Hang on, let me get a mirror. . . . it holds the answer!
Hindsight is, most assuredly, 20/20
Have any of you ever missed an opportunity that you wish you could hit the rewind button on?
Ever sold a chunk of INFI that you regretted parting with? . . . Or waited too long to make a decision?
Lay it on me!
I need some company!![]()
