Since these are my favorite cards that I own, that would have to make them my best purchases.

This was in a 36 PB lot, each card was $25. It now resides in a boardmember's very nice raw set.

100 bucks for what appears to be a unique Moeller Drum T206 sgc A,
2 or 3 years ago---from a mighty good friend.
Framed with a drum pouch, which obviously couldn't have held the card but a beauty nonetheless.
best,
barry

By far my biggest victory ever. Appears VG-EX, measures correct. Got it for $1,000, worth at least twice that.

Sure this is not a "Your Best T206 Card Purchase" thread?

How? Rip off an old lady? Steal them and leave $265 behind as restitution? I'm kidding, but seriously how did you get such a great deal?

I was going to put an e92 Mathewson I got off ebay for $65 BIN about 10 years ago but there were too many T206's already so I decided to keep everything uniform. Sorry about the other cards in the scan, but the best was the Magie for $1775 whenever I got it ($275 was paid by my dad as a Christmas present so it cost me $1500)

12 years ago bought raw Marquard CJ for $200, didn't even know then which year. Turns out it was 1914 and PSA graded it a 7 -- then and now highest grade for the card. So value up a bit.

Believe it or not but these were won in an auction when SCD magazine was popular. Before internet buying. I still have the letter from the seller included with the cards.
