Posted By: <b>peter ullman</b><p>I'm bored at work today...nothing but cancels. I got this great card on ebay a few years ago for a pittance of it's current value...it was raw and is a d359(williams baking). Show you're best buys from ebay...cards purchased for less than $200 qualify!<br />pete ullman in mn<br /><br /><a href="http://s72.photobucket.com/albums/i176/ullmandds/?action=view&current=davisd359fr.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i72.photobucket.com/albums/i176/ullmandds/davisd359fr.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>

Posted By: <b>Martin Neal</b><p>I can't remember the exact price, but it was around $200.00. It is still one of my favorite pieces. It includes Cobb, Johnson, Wheat, and two Stengels.<br /><br /><img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e268/123MARTINS/DSCN1302.jpg"><br /><img src="http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e268/123MARTINS/DSCN1301.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Mark L</b><p>on the whole, I'd say it was one of my "professional model" bats, like my Hank Gowdy or my Walter Holke or my Johhny Gooch. But since we are on the card side, this one comes to mind:<br /><br /><img src="http://i185.photobucket.com/albums/x318/corsairs25/e121Sislerpsa4front_001.jpg">

Posted By: <b>Jason L</b><p>last night I picked up a PSA graded 1940 Playball of my cousin, so this ranks right up there as one of my favorite ways to spend $9.99 !!!<br />I couldn't even get it slabbed for that price!<br /><br />perhaps I'll have to start hoarding them. <img src="/images/happy.gif" height=14 width=14>

Posted By: <b>Kevin Andrews</b><p>I've actually got two of them. The first is a group of thirteen Boston Store cards that I paid $230 for, later flipped eight of them (which I wouldn't do again) and ended up paying $3.50 for these five cards. The Gandil has since graded SGC 50 - VGEX.<br /><br /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa16/old-baseball/H801-855-ChicGandil.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa16/old-baseball/H801-863-JohnGraney.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa16/old-baseball/H801-866-BobGroom.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa16/old-baseball/H801-867-LouisGuisto.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa16/old-baseball/H801-868-EarlHamilton.jpg"><br /><br />The second deal got me started on my Tattoo orbit set. I paid $130 for the following four cards.<br /><br /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa16/old-baseball/R30514-HazenKiKiCuyler.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa16/old-baseball/R30515-DizzyDean.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa16/old-baseball/R30526f-IrvingDHadley-1.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://i197.photobucket.com/albums/aa16/old-baseball/R30544f-ConnieMack-1.jpg"><br /><br />

Posted By: <b>Joann</b><p>My all-time, one and only, never before and never to be repeated again steal from ebay (which is why it's the only thing I post in threads like this). Fortunately I got it for a $150 BIN so it qualifies for this thread. And here again is ...<br /><br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1207361100.JPG"> <br /><br />Joann

Posted By: <b>NickM</b><p>most of my best pickups are post-war vintage.<br /><br />I think my single best was a '59 Topps Dolan Nichols no option line PSA 6 for less than $3 (usually sells for $60 - $100).

Posted By: <b>John H.</b><p>My best card related eBay purchase was a Challenge the Yankees game, complete with the 50 player cards, for a Buy It Now price of $135 last year. The whole game, including the beautiful box lid, is in excellent condition and should have sold for at least $600-$700.<br /><br />John

Posted By: <b>Iggy</b><p>This one now becomes my favorite "purchase under $200". Got this on ebay over the weekend, for $118 + $5 shipping. Needless to say, I'm happy with the card, but darn near estatic with the price (considering it's the white cap Mathewson).<br /><br />-Lovely Day, Iggy... <br /><br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1208282767.JPG">
