Earlier days of ebay

[Archive]

Posted By: <b>Tom Russo</b><p>I noticed last week that I had a 10 year ebay anniversary and was remembering the days when my favorite searches yielded 20 - 30 results instead of 300 or so. I was able to pick up a few bargains in those days. Wondering if anyone else made some special pickups in the earlier days of ebay. Below is my favorite, a cabinet photo of Hooks Wiltse. On the back it says return to Geo. Wiltse, 432 Cortland Avenue, Syracuse, N.Y.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1206213242.JPG">

Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>I picked all but two of my first T206 cards on ebay back in the early days. One of my favorite pick ups that was not a T206 card was this NL Playing Rules and Constitution book from 1885. Got it for around $100. I thought that I'd see a bunch more of these, but they're pretty rare....<br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1206284773.JPG"> <br><br>_ <u> </u> _ <u> </u> _ <u> </u> _ <u> </u> _ <u> </u> _ <u> </u> _ _ <br /><br />Visit <a href="http://www.t206collector.com" target="_new" rel="nofollow">http://www.t206collector.com</a> for my blog, interviews, articles, card galleries and more!<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Seth B.</b><p>This is a fun post:<br />Back in 2001ish, I bought this card for $35 on ebay. I then traded it to Leon (hi Leon, you probably don't remember this), who had it graded a SGC 30. I then missed it and bought it back from Leon for a much larger (though fair) price.<br /><a href="http://s259.photobucket.com/albums/hh294/sgbernard/?action=view&current=Jennings.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i259.photobucket.com/albums/hh294/sgbernard/Jennings.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br />
