Posted By: <b>TBob</b><p>Buying a nice creaseless E98 Ty Cobb at auction with red background and a tiny, tiny bit of back damage for a great price and then finding the auction house (Lelands) goofed and the card they sold me was an E94 red Cobb (same picture) which sells for 2.5x the E98. <BR>Anyone else have any nice surprises like this lately?

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>I won the red backed Crofts lot in the last Mastro and have sold all of the cards other than the few I wanted. In the lot there was listed an E97 Steinfeldt. Until the end of my auction I had not looked carefully enough at my references to know what I had. It is the no "t" version of his last name. It went for about 3x what I thought it would. The surprises are still defintitely out here in the hobby for those that are very well educated on them. Sort of like when Tom B. bought the 2 caramel cards at the National from the guy that told him they had some kind of printing on the back of them <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14> They were ultra rare E94 overprints, one of which is now in my collection....regards all
